## Description

The NESCO FD-79 Food and Jerky Dehydrator provides the drying power that generates maximum speed and quality for dehydrating your favorite foods. The adjustable digital temperature control (90°F -160°F) gives you the flexibility to achieve the best results when drying different foods that need varying temperature settings. The digital timer is programmable for up to 24 hours of drying time and includes an auto off function. This dehydrator comes with four (13 1/2" diameter) trays and expands up to 12 trays so you can dry large quantities at once, with no tray rotation needed. Additional Add-A-Trays sold separately. The quiet, powerful Converga-Flow fan forces heated air down the exterior pressurized chamber, then horizontally across each individual tray. The air flow then converges in the center for quick, consistent drying that is four times faster than other dehydrators. The top mounted fan eliminates liquids dripping into the heater chamber. Includes two fruit roll sheets, two clean-a-screens, a sample of jerky seasoning & cure, and a 52-page recipe & instruction book. The BPA Free NESCO FD-79 Food and Jerky Dehydrator ensures even drying from top to bottom offering perfect results.

Review: My old Nesco dehydrator finally died after 20 years. It was the model with the manual dial and no timer, and what I hated about that model was it could only be turned off by unplugging it, and I had to remember to unplug it at the right time. This was a great price for me to get this digital model to replace it. The digital controls make a big difference. You can leave it plugged in and turn it on and off with a button, and you can set the digital timer to turn it off for you. The digital temp lets you set exact degrees instead of guessing with a manual dial. Other than that, it works great just as my old Nesco dehydrator did for dehydrating herbs, fruits, veggies and jerky.
Review: I had the big Gardenmaster FD-1018 for years and absolutely loved it. But it was just too big. So I bought this unit because it was smaller and lighter. I have made one batch of beef jerky to test it. I’ll say this, it is a great unit. Quieter than my old unit. Four trays are enough to dehydrate 2.5 lbs of beef. However, I did a test of temperature when set to 160°F. The top tray gets to 164°F but the bottom only gets to 154°F. So be sure to rotate the trays while drying. The trays are also lower quality than the ones from the FD-1018, but I’ll just go easy on them and they’ll be fine. In the end, I like how this unit is compact and quite quiet, compared to my old larger unit. I also like that the fan is on the top, so drippings on the bottom are no big deal. The bottom can go in the dishwasher with the trays. And pro tip, when dishwashing the trays, pull them out before the dry cycle so they don’t melt.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this compatible with the trays from the fd-60 model?**

Heats and blows air from the top so it’s easy to clean. Small crumbs fall to the bottom and easily wipe clean. Motor seems to work well and dries quickly. Came with extra tray inserts. I really like the design and simplicity of it.
