HB-17PR, HB-17 specifications

The Nesco HB-17 and HB-17PR food dehydrators are excellent appliances for home food preservation, ideal for anyone who enjoys making jerky, dried fruits, or herbs. Both models boast a sleek design that fits neatly on countertops, making them an attractive addition to any kitchen.

One of the standout features of the Nesco HB-17 is its patented Converga-Flow drying system. This technology ensures that heated air moves vertically through the trays, providing consistent temperature and airflow for uniform drying. As a result, users can expect high-quality results without the need for rotation of the trays, which can often be a hassle with other dehydrators.

The HB-17 model comes with a powerful 480-watt heating element that delivers precise temperature control, allowing for a wide range of drying options. Temperatures can be adjusted from 95°F to 160°F, making it versatile enough to dehydrate different types of foods, including delicate herbs at lower temperatures and denser items like meat or fruits at higher settings. This flexibility allows users to experiment with various recipes and drying techniques.

Another significant characteristic of both the HB-17 and HB-17PR models is their capacity. The dehydrators include a total of five trays, which can be expanded to accommodate additional trays if needed. This feature is particularly beneficial for those looking to preserve large quantities of produce during peak seasons. The expandable design allows for maximum versatility without taking up excessive space.

The Nesco HB-17PR model comes with added features, including a fruit roll sheet and a clean-a-screen tray. The fruit roll sheet is perfect for making fruit leathers or purees, while the clean-a-screen tray prevents small pieces from falling through the cracks, making it particularly useful for herbs and small fruits. Both units are designed with easy-to-clean trays that are dishwasher safe, making maintenance a breeze.

Moreover, the transparent exterior allows users to monitor the drying process without needlessly opening the unit, thus maintaining optimal temperatures. Whether you’re trying to create healthy snacks for the family or looking to preserve bulk fruits and vegetables, the Nesco HB-17 and HB-17PR dehydrators offer reliability, efficiency, and convenience.
