hello,
I live in Melbourne Victoria and would like to know where can I buy the Excalibur dehydrator 4500/4900? Thank you!
A few options but you do need to shop around for the best buy.
1. from the Excalibur website- they stock the widest range of models as far as I can tell- http://www.excaliburdehydratorsaustralia.com...
Hi Ken
I also purchased mine on line. I think via ebay also. It was several years ago now so have forgotten. I had to wait a bit as the supplier was out of stock - they are ex USA. Worth the wait tho...

Hi Just wondering has anyone dehydrated meat, fruit and veges in together??? and if so in which model?
many thanks
We do not recommend mixing meat with fruit and veg. There is no problem with mixing fruit and veg together but just not meat for general food safety reasons. All Excalibur models dehydrate all fruit, veg and meats very well!
I am looking for a reasonably-priced dehydrator for my daughter's birthday. Ideally, I would like stainless steel trays and a timer. If I purchased the 4526T, can you replace the plastic trays for stainless steel trays? Is this model the most reasonably-priced? We do not need anything big. Do you know how this compares with the Biochef Arizona? Where can you purchase these dehydrators in Sydney or can you only buy them online?
I imagine they are the same size trays so should be able to interchange.........
You would have to buy the trays separately ...

Stainless steel trays are interchangeable but you have to purchase them as an accessory as the poly carbonate trays come standard.
If you feel you do not need a timer, there is also a no timer 5 tra...
What is the difference between 4926t and the 4526t and in your option which is the best?
The number of trays.

Want to make vege chips...are they crispy....what about the plastic trays...does this have an effect on the food and what model does everyone suggest?
You can set to a higher temperature and run for longer to get some crispiness, depending on what you are drying. Most store bought "crispy" chips are actually dried and then fried.
I had concerns a...
Read morebout the plastic trays so bougth the D902SHD with steel mesh trays.Veggie chips are crisp. You can choose how long you want them in for, or how high you set it (or a combination of these). I think people who follow the "living food" diet use very low temp but for mu...
Read morech longer periods. There are loads of vegie crisps and cracker recipes on the net. You can also re-crisp things easily by popping them into the dehydrator for a bit.
Hi can this be used for cake decorations eg. Fondant or gumpaste flowers
YES!!!!!!!!
Put it on the lowest setting, directly on the mesh. You want airflow--- not heat or you will crack your fondant. Depending on your oven you can also put them in there with just the light and fan on....
Read more When you go to store fondant make sure that you store it in an airtight container with either oxygen absorbers or food safe moisture sachets. Keep your creations in a dry place (ie not the fridge). I store mine in egg cartons inside a great big cupcake carrier. I throw in moisture sachets.Get an answer from our members and Excalibur Dehydrator representatives
