What are the differences between a food dehydrator and a food processor?
assistant
The primary difference between a food dehydrator and a food processor is that a food dehydrator is designed to remove moisture from food, while a food processor is designed to puree, chop, and blend ingredients into a paste or a liquid. Food dehydrators usually have racks that allow you to place food in the form of thin slices or strips on top of the racks, while food processors typically have blades that grind up ingredients. Additionally, food dehydrators produce a low heat that preserves nutrients in the food while simultaneously removing moisture, while food processors depend on sharp blades to chop and blend ingredients quickly.
