Homemade Dog Treats

I used it to dehydrate chicken feet, chicken necks, turkey necks, chicken hearts and gizzards for dog treats. I put it at 160F and less than 4 hours it’s ready to feed to the dogs. It’s so much cheaper to make homemade treats then buying it.

Exceeded Expectations.

Fantastic product. I based my decision to buy on the reviews I read as well as a blog and jerky recipe site I came across, jerkyholic.com, which spoke highly of this product as well. Works great, cleans easily. As other reviewers have said, you do hear it. This is essentially a blow dryer set over a series of screens, although the sound isn't as loud. In the two months that I have had it I've used it weekly to make dog jerky. Yes, he's spoiled, but I like knowing what he's eating. I just take an Eye of Round roast (the leanest I have found. Fat doesn't dehydrate), split it lengthwise, partially freeze it and then cut it into thin strips with the grain, which makes him have to work on chewing it. (For people jerky I usually go across the grain of the meat to make it an easier chew). I use no marinade for the dog's and just let it go on high for 5-6 hours. It is about a 3 to 1 yield of raw to dried product. I have created a monster because this is now the treat of choice. But it's lean protein so I'm happy. People jerky takes longer as you are introducing more moisture into the meat with your marinade. The only downside is that there is no way to verify the temperature via the machine. So, to be safe, I finish it in the oven at 225 degrees for 10 minutes to ensure it's parasite free. Then, after cooling, refrigerate it in a bag for a week to 10 days. (it never lasts 10 days)

Absolutely fantastic

I did a lot of research on these before buying. But I mean when you have over 3000 reviews and you’re still at 4 1/2 stars you can’t doubt this. It made the best jerky I’ve ever had! We used their spices (because they are free with it). Added soy sauce and red wine vinegar. It beats any store bought jerky! I kinda panicked not having a timer. But we have cell phones with them now. We’re doing fruit now! I can’t wait for it to be done. The aromas fill the whole house too! Don’t look anywhere else. This is the best!

BIG BANG FOR YOUR BUCK! BEST DEHYDRATOR YOU WILL EVER BUY! I'VE USED DEHYDRATORS FOR OVER 40 YRS.

I've owned this unit for many years. This 1, I bought for our son. He wanted a good one and to start making his own jerky snacks. I ordered him the exact model I own. It will serve him well for many many years to come. I've made endless pounds of jerky for family and friends. Never disappointed in the results. I like this dehydrator because you have a temperature control for what you are doing. My ancient unit didn't have this. You had 1 temperature and that was it. Sturdy,cleans up easily,stores easily. Can be expanded by adding additional racks. Comes with 5 racks. Those 5 racks will hold 3 lbs. of meat to make into jerky. I've also dried fruit ,onions and chives in this unit. Nesco Snackmaster Pro Food Dehydrator FD-75A ...You'll never be sorry you purchased this.

The dogs LOVE THEM!

This is my first summer with a big garden. I've dried tomatoes and peppers. I've also made dog treat "chicken chips". I sliced chicken thinly and dried them till crunchy. The dogs LOVE THEM!!! I use them for training treats. I've also heard sweet potatoes chips are good too. I ordered the extra trays and have used them. So far, you tube has been the best source for recipes. I would recommend and have shared it with friends

Amazing for preparing backpacking foods

This dehydrator is just what I needed. My job has me working in the backcountry for a week at a time, carrying all of my food and camping gear on my back. So I obviously want my food to be as light as possible. But I'm also a bit of a food snob and love to cook delicious foods. I'm not super fond of many of the readymade backpacking food, not to mention that they can break the bank. This dehydrator solved all of my problems. It's so easy to make many types of meals at home, dehydrate them (either whole or in parts) with this, and carry them out to the field where I can cook them up and enjoy healthy, homemade food. By far my favorite thing to make is chili. It's awesome to use the fruit leather trays and just pile the chili on. The tray collect and dry out all the delicious liquid, saving all of the flavors and helping you make some of the best trail food you will ever have. My coworkers love me because of this :)

MAKING HEALTHY SNACKS FOR MY DOGS - NO MORE CHEMICALS

2 years ago I went to feeding my 2 dogs (terriers) human grade food after buying the expensive store bought food that was costing me a fortune. I now pay less for quality meats, fish, produce and starches to be feed to my dogs vs buying expensive pet food with ingredients I can't pronounce. However, I still had an issue with treats, especially for training. So I purchased this dehydrator and finished making their first batch of eye of round jerky and currently making chicken jerky as I write. Nothing added just pure meat. They LOVE IT to say the least. And I don't have to worry about unknown ingredients. We did that for ourselves 2 years ago also and have seen health issues disappear. Our motto is "If God created it and its natural unaltered, we can eat it" Our food bill went down some and we are healthy. Give yourself and your pets a gift of health by buying a dehydrator.

Don't wait purchase this great product!!!!

Best item I've purchased yet!!! I've been making Beef and Salmon Jerky for sometime now and I love this dehydrator, simple to use, perfect temperature settings and you don't have to rotate the trays for air ventilation. The only con is there is no on or off switch, you will have to unplug the dehydrator to turn it off. After I make Salmon Jerky I throw the trays in the dishwasher and they come out spotless with no smell. Great investment, I should have bought this sooner!!!! And one thing if your buying this to make beef jerky, dehydrating fruits, etc. invest in a small auto timer, I used the timer from my Christmas tree and now I set it I don't have to watch it anymore and worrying about unplugging it to stop the dehydration. You can find the timer on Amazon too!

Great dehydrator

I love my dehydrator. I've had it or about a 2 years now and it was one of the best purchases I have made. The price is great for what you are getting and so far I've had great result with mine. I dehydrate a lot of food for backpacking and camping trips and it has made my backpacking and camping food prices drop so much because I just make my own meals rather than buy those overpriced packs of freeze dried food. Granted this is a dehydrator and not a freeze drier so food doesn't rehydrate as easily as it would if it were freeze dried but this is so much cheaper and I don't mind the extra crunch in my food. I also use it to dehydrate fruits and vegetables when they are about to go bad for snacks and such. This little thing just has so much use. There are a lot of dehydrators on the market and I searched but for the price I think this is one of the best on the market. It's pretty quiet when it's on, just sounds like a fan. Doesn't use much electricity, is safe to leave running overnight, and has 5 trays to do lots of dehydrating at once. Granted just don't put onions and pineapple in there together or you will end up with pineapple that has an onion taste to it. It comes fully equipped with different tray inserts so you can dehydrate different shaped things without stuff falling through, it comes with a handy booklet, and packets of seasoning for dehydrating meat. This was a fantastic investment and I've gotten so much use out of mine. It's good for people who are looking to save money when it comes to packing food for trips and camping and stuff like that. It's also good for people who want to have dehydrated food for themselves or their kids but don't want to spend a bunch of money on dehydrated snacks. It does take a little more prep time than just buying prepackaged food but money wise it's well worth it and you know exactly what you are putting into your body.

Great machine for preserving fruit!

Good Value for the money. Easy to use. Patience required but the results are worth it. I have dehydrated several batches of peaches and apples. They were a big hit. Obviously the end product depends on the starting product. That said the results were spectacular. The fruit was sweet and great tasting. None of the dehydrated fruit I have bought commercially even comes close in flavor. I soaked the fruit briefly in lemon juice to reduce bacteria and prevent browning. The lemon juice added flavor and the fruit stayed nice looking. I intend to buy another of these for the next season.
