  If you cook at home and enjoy all the pleasures of good food, why not make extra portions, dry them and keep them for your next trip into the wilds? Simply pour a portion of cooked food onto the appropriate tray, making sure any larger items are chopped finely and leave the dryer to remove all of the moisture.
I have been using ours for years and it has never failed to provide good reliable home cooking when out backpacking. For example a 330 ml portion of Steak and Kidney or Mince and Tomato Stew reduces to just 76 gms! Pasta sauce starting at 353 gms reduces to 32 gms! Stored in a zip lock plastic bag the bulk is minute. Compare this to a Real Expedition main meal which weighs in at 172 gms. Plus of course you control the packaging and waste, let alone the cost!
This is perfect for veggies and meat eaters alike. Plus of course you can even dry fruit, jerky, herbs and so on. Once the moisture has been removed from the food, we store it in a marked zip lock bag and keep it in the freezer, for anything up to six months!
Offering up to 12 square feet of drying space, the L’Equip Model 528 Dehydrator features the same unique style and functionality as the rest of the L’Equip range. Dehydrating a variety of foods and herbs is an excellent, natural way of preserving their goodness and concentrating and enhancing their flavours. Make your own banana chips, dried mango or jerky in this dehydrator and you will notice the difference in flavour from shop bought products.
The design facilitates temperature controlled drying throughout its six trays with the option of adding further trays to increase the drying area. It dries evenly throughout the tray area, even in the corners, with variable, thermostatically controlled drying temperatures from 93° to 158° while using an economical (maximum) 560 watts of power.
Uses include drying herbs and flowers, fruits, meat, fish and poultry. The Model 528 comes complete with two tray inserts for making fruit leathers (strips of dried fruit purees) and this kitchen-friendly dehydrator is both compact and visually appealing. Each of the six trays supplied has a removable mesh insert for easy cleaning and the instruction manual has a handy recipes section to get you off to a flying start.
