Cutting down on food waste is friendly both to your wallet and the planet. Dehydrating and vacuum sealing are two solutions for reducing how much food goes to waste in your home. Whichever method interests you, Ace Hardware can help you get started with a selection of food dehydrator and food vacuum sealer products and accessories from brands like NESCO and Foodsaver that you can shop for online and in stores.

Prepare Tasty Snacks and Treats with a Food Dehydrator

With a food dehydrator, you can make dried fruits, dried vegetables and meat jerky with ease. There are two main types of food dehydrators: vertical airflow and horizontal airflow.

• A vertical airflow dehydrator lets you arrange whatever you want to dry in stackable food dehydrator trays. When you turn the unit on, a fan at the top or bottom of the appliance circulates warm air throughout to ensure even drying.
• Horizontal airflow food dehydrators often offer a large surface area for making big batches of dried produce and jerky. These appliances typically have fans in the back.

Save Time with a Dehydrator Kit

A dehydrator kit provides a simple way to purchase multiple accessories to use with your new dehydrator for one low price. There is a range of kits available, and each one provides different products. For example, a jerky kit may include jerky seasoning for adding flavor and a jerky gun for shaping ground meat into strips and sticks. As you shop, read the product descriptions to learn what each dehydrator kit contains.

Vacuum Sealers to Extend Food Life

Food can easily go stale to prolonged exposure to oxygen. Spoilage occurs when oxygen causes chemical changes in foods and allows microorganisms to thrive. By removing oxygen from the packaging, you use to store food, you can slow down the processes that lead to staleness and spoilage.  Vacuum sealers let you do just that.

You can use one to preserve your fresh produce, dry goods and snacks, as well as to prepare foods for freezing. Some food vacuum sealer appliances use special bags, while others are compatible with a wide range of food storage bags. Check the product descriptions to find out if you need to buy a particular bag to use your new appliance to the fullest.
