While I was looking on Craigslist, I came across this nifty little food dehydrator called “Jacks Dehydrator”. It cost me $20.00 and is the cutest little relic I own to date. We are continuing to make our plans for the built-in dehydrator, but I thought this was a good one for the meantime.

I don’t think this dehydrator was used more than once or twice, it was very clean and looks like it just came out of the box new. I lucked out. I’ve gotten other things off of Craigslist before (free or purchased) and the worst thing about it is receiving things that the previous owners never bothered to even dust off. It always grosses me out when we pick up something and the person couldn’t take a few moments out of their time to just brush off their dirt. You know what’s in dirt right? Dust mites and skin. Oh yum! So we always get to take a little bit of the other person home with us. Anyway, I thought it would be the same with this dehydrator. It wasn’t! It was extremely clean…no dust or food particles to be found throughout the whole unit. I just want to give a shout out to Keith and tell him thanks for selling us a CLEAN and awesome little dehydrator.

The unit doesn’t have a temperature gauge, and it can get up to 185 degrees. According to the directions, the only way to regulate the temp. on it is to open some of the drawers to allow the heat to escape. I’ll be making some wraps soon and I’ll let you all know how it all comes out.

On a side note, I took this picture on July 4th of a double rainbow behind my house:
