Dehydration information
Dehydration is the oldest and simplest form of food preservation. From wandering nomads to ancient mariners, dried foods have been essential for centuries.
 
Stockli dehydrators incorporate an adjustable thermostat which can be set from 30 degrees centigrade upwards. This is essential to ensue that enzymes, vitamins and nutrients are not lost during the dehydration process by being overheated (many other dehyrators on the market have non-adjustable thermostats that are set far too high - thus destroying vital nutrients). With your own dehydrator you can enjoy the experience of producing your own healthy dried foods, simply and economically at home.
 
Are you looking to achieve optimum health for your family? Would you like to save money on healthy, chemical-free organic snacks? Or maybe you are a sports person, walker or rambler needing an easy, portable source of energy and nutrition? Do you wish to increase the amount and variety of life-enhancing living foods you eat, proven by the experience of thousands to improve well-being and vitality? Many like you have discovered that by using a dehydrator you can save money and feel healthier.
 
Almost any fruit or vegetable, and even whole meals, can be dehydrated. Do you like the flavour of sun-dried tomatoes? You can now enjoy the intensity of taste using fresh tomatoes at a fraction of the cost and with minimal effort. Many people use the thermostatically-controlled Stockli for the preparation of "living foods", which can help to support the immune system. Many parents have found that a Stockli dehydrator helps them to switch their children onto fruits and vegetables that they wouldn't even try before - two frequent favourites are bananas and mango. And unlike the majority of pre-packed dried fruit sold in many health food shops, the snacks made in your own dehydrator are fee of added chemicals, preservatives, fat and sugar.
 
Dehydrated food can be stored for months in an airtight bag or container.
