Horizontal Food Dehydrator | VIVO Dry H

Horizontal Food Dehydrator with 8 Trays

The VIVO Dry H horizontal dehydrator is the best in our range of dehydrators and is built with high-quality materials, BPA-free plastic and steel. It has been designed to ensure maximum uniformity and drying speed. It includes 8 trays made of SUS 304 stainless steel, plus two non-stick trays for drying jellies, semi-solid foods, or very small foods.

Features of the Horizontal Dehydrator

• Adjustable temperature from 35° to 85°C

• Timer to set the duration based on the type of food being dried

• Equipped with 8 SUS 304 stainless steel trays measuring 30×28 cm

• Includes two non-stick trays for jellies, semi-solid mixtures, or small foods

• Horizontal ventilation ensures maximum uniformity and drying speed

• Option to switch on the internal light to check the food

• Maximum power: 700W

What are the advantages of a horizontal dehydrator compared to a vertical one?

• With the motor positioned at the back of the dehydrator, the airflow reaches all trays and foods evenly.

• The airflow acts simultaneously above and below the food, making drying faster and more uniform.

• Thanks to this system, the trays can be fully loaded, optimizing space and energy consumption.

• The range of uses increases significantly, since with this type of dehydrator you can also:
  defrost food, make yogurt, cook steaks or meat at low temperature before finishing them on the grill.

What does “dehydrating food” mean?

Dehydration consists of completely removing the liquid component of a food through ventilation at a controlled temperature — and this is where the dehydrator helps.
It is a traditional and natural method of preserving vegetables, allowing you to buy them in season and store them for consumption throughout the year.

Dehydration is therefore the most natural preservation method, allowing foods to maintain their organoleptic characteristics and nutritional properties for a long time.

With this preservation method, even the flavors and aromas of foods are better maintained.

How does a dehydrator work?

The operation of the dehydrator is very simple:

A heating element generates heat based on the set temperature, which can vary from 30°C to 75°C. This heat is diffused by a fan that creates a constant airflow through the perforated trays.

Unlike natural sun drying, this gentle airflow allows for faster dehydration and, most importantly, it is not affected by air humidity. Additionally, sunlight alters some properties of foods, such as vitamins and aromas that are sensitive to light.

What can I dehydrate?

VEGETABLES

Any type of vegetable can be easily dehydrated. Ideal for those who grow their own produce and don’t want to waste surplus harvest that can’t be consumed fresh.

FRUIT

Orchards often ripen all at once, making it impossible to eat all the fruit. As a result, overripe fruit spoils and gets wasted. By dehydrating it, you can use 100% of the fruit you grow or purchase.

MUSHROOMS (and seasonal products)

Dried mushrooms are a delicacy many don’t want to give up; dehydrating them is very simple and their flavors are even enhanced.
As with mushrooms, you can also dehydrate all those typical seasonal foods that are only available at certain times of the year or under specific climatic conditions.

HERBS AND FLOWERS

Drying aromatic, medicinal, and herbal plants has been practiced for thousands of years. It is an excellent way to preserve harvested herbs for tea and infusion lovers. Flowers are also ideal for infusions or for decorating or flavoring dishes and desserts.

MEAT

Dried meat is not very common in Italian culture, but it is still very tasty and practical to use — either eaten as is, or chopped to flavor or season other preparations.

FISH

Dried fish is widely used and consumed especially in Eastern countries, but it is truly delicious.

FRESH PASTA

All types of fresh pasta, including filled pasta, whether store-bought or homemade, can be easily dehydrated.
