Crispy beef snacks and more.

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2024

I can't express enough how much I love my COSORI Food Dehydrator for beef! As someone following a carnivore diet, finding the right tools to prepare and preserve my food is essential, and this dehydrator has exceeded all my expectations.

First and foremost, the 16.2ft² drying space provided by the 10 stainless steel trays is absolutely fantastic. I can easily fit large batches of beef onto the trays, allowing me to dehydrate a significant amount of beef at once. This not only saves me time but also ensures I have more than enough beef to sustain me while I'm on the go.

The 1000W power of this machine ensures quick and efficient drying, meaning I can have perfectly dehydrated beef in no time. Plus, the stainless steel trays are not only durable but also easy to clean, which is a huge plus for me.

One of the best things about using this dehydrator for my carnivore diet is the guilt-free travel it allows me. I can pack my homemade dried beef knowing exactly what ingredients have gone into it, without any additives or preservatives. It's a convenient and healthy snack option that keeps me satisfied while I'm on the road.

Furthermore, the COSORI Food Dehydrator is incredibly user-friendly, with simple controls and a clear digital display. Even as someone who is relatively new to dehydrating, I found it easy to operate and achieve perfect results every time.

Overall, I highly recommend the COSORI Food Dehydrator for beef to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient way to prepare delicious crispy beef similar to Carnivore Crisps. It has become an essential tool in my kitchen, helping me stay on track with my carnivore diet while enjoying tasty and nutritious snacks wherever I go.

Quiet, effective, and simple yet loaded with features

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2024

This Cosori dehydrator is one of the best purchases I have made for saving my summer herbs and garden food. The temperature and timer controls have a low enough range for the most delicate herb and high enough for meats and jerky. One of our favorites (and most often used) is the "instant refried beans". Oh what a time saver that has been.

It is quiet enough to be in a family area without negatively impacting the conversation. We have forgotten it a few times until the timer went off. The exterior stays slightly warm but not hot. There are only a couple of liquid items that we have found worked better if we rotated the trays. The vast majority of the time it is not necessary which is real plus compared to our old stackable unit.

I had heard and read several reviews prior to purchasing. I did a great deal of research because this is a big expense on a smaller budget. Of all of the dehydrators I looked at, this one was the most versatile for the money. While I would have loved the larger one, I have been pleasantly surprised at how much will fit into the six tray unit. It stays in use year round here and seems to have that staying power. I have been very pleased and I believe you will be too.

***UPDATED 6/27/19 with some measurements***Very pleased with performance and design quality.

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2019

So far I’ve done about six full batches including apple, pear, strawberry, tomato, and asparagus. All seemed to take a bit longer than my dehydration handbook but that is not a cause for concern.

I tested the interior temperature with an instant read thermometer. From a cold start, the temperature rose above the set point but settled within an hour or so. Again, no concern. After settling, the unit seemed to hold the set point temperature quite accurately.

So far, no messes to clean inside, but it appears that it would be easy enough to clean. I do have to soak the wire racks for a bit after doing strawberries. I think the heavy sugar content causes small bits of berry to stick.

I would not call the fan quiet, however. When it’s running, it’s noise is like white noise, fading from noticeable to being part of the ambient room noise. So far it has never become irritating.

Years ago we owned a low-price, air-from-the-bottom style unit. I was never impressed by either the design quality or the resulting dry product. Like many fad purchases, it’s use rapidly diminished and it was relegated to basement storage, and eventually a donation to Goodwill Industries. This unit has more promise to be more heavily used during the summer months when produce prices are lowest. However, I think this will go in storage for the rest of the year, due to its size on the countertop.

I would recommend it to friends. I would not buy it again because I expect this one to last as long as I need it.

********UPDATE June 27, 2019*******
I had a chance today to do a little performance testing on electric usage. For purposes of the test there was no food used. The cabinet contained only a remote, instant read thermometer.

When the heating element and fan are on, the unit draws about 615 watts. When only the fan is on, it draws about 20 watts.

When testing with no food, the inside temperature cycles between 132 deg. F and 145 deg. F when the unit is set for a drying temp of 135. So your average temp while drying will be perhaps 5 deg. higher than expected. For me, no big deal. I can either live with it or set the temp 5 deg. low.

My next test involved drying tomatoes. I used Campari brand “on the vine”. These fruits are about 1”-1.5” in diameter, so were quartered. Some “rogue” sizes were cut into 1/5ths or 1/6ths to try for size uniformity.

Campari’s are available at my local Costco in 2 lb. packages and my local Aldi in 1 lb. Your local stores may not carry the brand. I like those a lot because of their uniform size and ripeness. My first1/2 batch turned out beautifully, with very intense flavor. Because I do not core these tomatoes (much too small to bother) my drying time is probably longer. The first batch took about 18 hours, but with two interruptions during the process.

I’ve started the second batch today - a full 6-trays, holding 8 lbs. of fruit. They will be taking about 15 more hours but I can relate a couple of observations. First, I started with a pre-heat of 135 deg. About 10 minutes into the “cook”, the temp had fallen to about 95 deg. It slowly began to work its way back up. I was not surprised by this, since the physics of dehydration dictates that energy is used by evaporating water. The fruit was at its wettest at the beginning, of course. After two hours of drying, the temp inside the box is up to 117 deg.

Secondly, I did a review of the electric usage about 30 minutes in. Interestingly, the usage dropped from about 615 watts to around 15-20 watts for several seconds EVERY TWO MINUTES. My guess this is either a safety measure or a longevity issue for the heating element. With the internal box temperature not yet at the set temperature, I did not see the temperature cycling that I saw in the early, empty box test.

I shall post more significant observations in the future, as warranted.

The perfect jerky making machine!

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2024

My wife and I love this thing!

We use to have an old plastic jerky maker that was handed down to us, but unfortunately the plastic trays did not hold up in a modern dishwasher, so to Amazon we went to find something more modern.

Enter the COSORI dehydrated! This is one high quality and well built machine! I love the fact the device and trays are mostly metal, making this very easy to clean! Simply just remove the trays and place them in the dishwasher and you are done! You don’t have to worry about warping or damaging anything.

The temperature is easy to control with its very readable and well lit display, and adjustments are flawless!

The material this is made out of is definitely better than the plastic alternatives out there, and it looks so good beside our air fryer!

Overall this is an excellent value for the money we spent, and was an absolute steal being on sale!
