We got this for my son to make trail foods, but have been using it to dehydrate lots of stuff. Apple, pear, banana chips. Fruit leathers. Jerky. Veggies. Almost anything you would put in a jar for canning.Likes: Simple to use. Easy food prep. Jerky gun works great. Cheap to operate.Dislikes: If the jerky gun was 1/2" to 1" longer it would hold a 1/2 lb. As is you have an extra refill cycle, adds maybe a minute to your process time.Definite recommended product!
