Abstract
The present food dehydrator may be substantially cylindrical in shape including a base member, a plurality of stackable trays, and a top. The base member has a first chamber adapted for receipt of a heater element for convection air distribution and a second chamber adapted for receipt of a heating element suitable for forced air distribution. The base member further includes a chamber adapted for receipt of an electric fan motor. The dehydrator is convertible between a convection heating made and a forced air heating made by selectively mounting the convection heating element and the forced air heating element in their respective chambers.
