I'm looking for a replacement for my old one lol. I mostly use it for dried fruit and herbs, but lately I have been wanting to try making beef jerky too. I need a dehydrator that can handle regular use and has good temperature control.

is there a particular model you've used for a few years without problems? I'm curious whether stainless steel trays are worth paying attention to and how easy these machines are to clean after drying meat. Thanks yall!

I have a tray of funnel chanterelles I want to dry but I don’t have a dehydrator. I know several recipes say in the oven on 40°C for 24 hours or more with the door cracked.
But my oven literally has a food dryer function. I don’t know how to use it and I cannot find any instructions for it anywhere. It requires a closed door.
