You asked for them, we now have them!  Upaya Naturals is the first to feature 100% stainless steel racks for the Excalibur dehydrators. These racks are food grade, NSF aproved, that will directly replace any Excalibur 9 or 5 tray model dehydrator. They are not chrome plated or made of cheap metals like other racks on the market.

Why our FDA Approved Polycarbonate Construction is Better than Stainless Steel for Home Use.

 

High quality stainless steel is appropriate for businesses but it’s much too expensive for home owners- the key word is high quality stainless.  Anyone can make a low grade stainless steel dehydrator and include chrome plated trays, but you do not know what has been mixed with the stainless steel – and chrome plated trays can pose health concerns.

 

Some customers have asked us to make a stainless steel home dehydrator like our commercial dehydrators. To produce a homeowner-priced stainless steel dehydrator, we would have to seriously downgrade components- going to single-wall construction, for example, which has rough edges and is hot to the touch. We pride ourselves in providing high quality products and support using green products whenever possible. Stainless steel is appropriate for commercial uses but unnecessary for home use.  Here are some key reasons why Polycarbonate is better than stainless steel for home use:

 

Excalibur has been the leader in Dehydration technology for over 35 years.  We lead the commercial dehydrator market so we know the important features that are mandatory for health and safety when it comes to dehydration and working with stainless steel. Ultimately we want consumers to have a great dehydration experience and hope that providing you with some key points to look for in a dehydrator helps to educate you as consumers.
