Salente DoubleDry, food dehydrator, stainless steel

When you enjoy a bountiful harvest all year round

A basket of mushrooms after a pleasant walk in the forest, a box of apples from the garden, bundles of fragrant herbs or meat that is ideal for homemade jerky. All of these are supplies that are crying out for a second life. The Salente DoubleDry is the perfect match – a food dryer that makes it easy to save a piece of this year's harvest for later. In winter, all you have to do is reach for the supplies and you will immediately be reminded of the abundance of the autumn forest, add your own dried tomatoes to the sauce or just grab some crispy slices of fruit.

2 dryers in 1

The Salente DoubleDry has 2 separate drying chambers so you can dry more ingredients at the same time. For example, the aromas of mushrooms and fruit do not have to mix unnaturally - each food has its own space and dries at its own pace, so that the result is worth it. The fact that each chamber of the dryer allows you to set the temperature and time separately also contributes to this. In one, you can dry apples into cross-shaped pieces, while in the other, using a different setting, you can prepare dried herbs or meat.

Mushrooms here, bananas there

This food dehydrator has 12 stainless steel drying trays. The dimensions of each are 27.5 × 25 cm so you can use a total drying area of 8250 cm². And that is enough space for a good batch of household supplies. The dryer is suitable for mushrooms, fruit, vegetables, herbs, jerky meat, fish and other foods. There are also 12 fine mesh inserts at your service which are useful for drying softer or sticky ingredients such as mushrooms, herbs, bananas or tomatoes.

Stay warm for a while longer, please.

The Salente DoubleDry considers that sometimes you simply will not be in the kitchen at the exact moment when the drying process is finished. That is why it also offers the KeepWarm function which can maintain the temperature at the optimal 35°C for up to 24 hours after the drying process is finished. What is more, the device automatically switches off when it is finished, so you do not have to stand in the kitchen with your eyes fixed on the clock and wait for the last minute. You simply give the dryer the job and just wait for the result.

Look under the lid without letting the heat escape

The drying process is a bit like your favorite endless series – you do not have to watch it non-stop, but you still want to stay in the picture. The glass windows in the door and the practical lighting in both chambers allow you to conveniently check the drying progress at any time. There is no need to open the drying chambers and unnecessarily let the heat out. You can easily check how the pears or mushrooms are doing at any time and then go about your business.

Too much juice? No problem.

Some ingredients are full of water or juices when they are fresh. However, the Salente DoubleDry can easily handle drying them. It also has a special drip tray that protects the bottom of the dryer when drying foods with a higher water content and makes cleaning easier. And when it comes to maintenance, it is worth mentioning that after drying, you can wash all 12 stainless steel plates in the dishwasher.

A robust kitchen companion

At first glance, the Salente DoubleDry will impress you with its robust stainless-steel design, but it will also please you with its practical details. The dryer door has a handy magnetic closure. There are recessed handles on the sides for easier carrying. And the rubber anti-slip feet help keep the dryer stable in place.

The interior is galvanized and meets the most demanding hygiene standards for food processing. The dryer's dimensions are 31 × 37 × 47 cm, and its weight is 10.7 kg. So, it is not just a kitchen crumb, but a helper that can handle even an extra portion of seasonal produce.

Safe operation for drying without hot spots

This food dehydrator is also equipped with a safety thermal fuse against overheating. The door is made of high-quality tempered safety glass, which, if broken, shatters into small pieces that you will not easily cut yourself on. And the stainless-steel drying plates are LFGB certified for safe contact with food. The device also meets European LVD, EMC and RoHS certifications.

The dryer's rated power consumption is 1000–1200 W, its noise level is 52 dB, and the power cable is a sufficient length of 1 m.

To (not) stay dry in winter

The package includes everything you need to dry food – the dehydrator itself, 12 stainless steel drying trays, 12 plastic inserts with fine mesh and a plastic drip tray. After unpacking it from the box, all you have to do is decide what to start with. Mushrooms from the forest? Apples that would otherwise remain fallen under the tree? Herbs whose aroma you want to hide for the winter? Or homemade jerky that disappears faster than you can tell your family that it was supposed to last a whole week?

The Salente DoubleDry is a welcome helper for anyone who wants to enjoy great homemade food not only when it's ripe or the kitchen is full of it. Just bring the harvest home, spread it out on trays and give it some time. Then you can enjoy a rerun of summer in the middle of winter.
