    how about a DIY dehydrator, [as mentioned further up this thread(?)].

    see
    http://www.k-clements.fsnet.co.uk/dehydrator.html

    I can verify that it works because I've eaten yummy apple flapjacks and flax seed crackers from the wooden home made dehydrator in the picture. :cool:

    however, not being very handy myself, I bought my excalibur DH from ebay.:o

    Gutted I missed out on the Tchibo food dryer, now that I have read this thread I have to have one!!!! Life's just not going to be the same now that I know there is a great appliance that I don't have!!!

    Can't seem to find them anywhere else for anything like that price. Does anyone know of any others for less than about £50?

    Hi taurusgb,

    I have merged your thread into an existing thread we have on food dehydrators. Posts are listed in date order, so you will need to read from the beginning of the thread. :)

    Gosh when will Tchibo do these dehydrators again, I want one for drying grains but they are difficult to get hold of :confused:

    Are any of you guys bored of yours yet? PM me if you are selling one :D

    I mill my own flour and have been told I should wash the grain and then dehydrate it, but have you seen the price of these things on ebay! No wonder Tchibo were popular!

    Hello Ladies

    Found a food hydrator on https://www.qvcuk.com for £26.78 (£32.23 inclusive of postage and packing). model is Total Chef and has 6 trays. Hope this helps anyone who was unlucky and didn't get the one Tchibo was selling.
