 What's up guys, welcome back! I'm going to inbox my first ever food dehydrator from the brand Kusori. We'll open it together. I'll show you what's inside. We'll try to put it together with the trays and everything. I've never owned one before or used one before and I have a vague idea about how it works. So if everything goes well today I'm going to try to make some dried bananas. But just before we start, funny quick story. During Christmas holiday Alex told me one day, hey there is this package that I'm expecting in the mail. It's a gift. Don't touch it. And then I was like, yeah I'm expecting a package today too. So I go outside, I see two big boxes, both of them branded Kusori. It turned out we bought each other the exact same gift and so we ended up with two food dehydrators. So we will be giving away the second one. It's the same brand but not the same model. And so if any of you are interested in having a food dehydrator make sure to stick around until the end of the video and we will talk in details about how you can enter the giveaway. But for right now we'll open this, we'll assemble it and then we'll try to make some dried fruits. And the reason I wanted to purchase one this year is because most of the time for our trail snacks we buy them from outside. They are already pre-made. Some of them are good but some of them are not so great. And so this year I really wanted to spend some time to come up with my own recipes, dry some fruits, beef jerky and just have fun with it. All right so let's see what we have here. Okay they've got some information about their social media, Kusori Cooks on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest. All right I am so very excited. Really I'm excited for this. Okay so first thing there's this little package here. I'm assuming this one has probably some recipes prepare your kitchen and your appetite. Okay so that's a user manual. I definitely have to do some reading. I've never used a dehydrator before. And then nice. So these are some recipes. This is a recipe book. It's got some beef jerky, spicy bacon, beef teriyaki jerky. This is their present on social media. Looks like this is a plastic tray. I'm going to leave it in the side here. I have a better idea. Don't? No. A set of trays. One, two, three, four, five, six. Okay so a set of six metal trays and then this one I'm not sure how I can use the the plastic one but I'm just going to leave them here. That's perfect size. I think it's pretty straightforward as far as start, stop and then the time and how long you want it to go for the temperature minus plus whatever. All I have to do right now I believe is to place the trays inside. You know usually I'm not great at following instructions. I like to just do it my own way but I don't want to mess this thing up. Okay so where do you go? This is the mesh screen. Okay so that's the mesh screen and the E is the fruit roll sheet. Okay so where does the mesh screen go? The mesh screen this is this mesh screen right here. It says used for foods that shrink when dried. This liner will prevent them from falling through tray gates. Okay so you know what for right now I'm not going to use any of you. You both stay there because I'm just going to be making bananas. I have a bunch of organic bananas right here that's going to be my first yeah so this is good. I mean I think it's a great size right here and then I will have to to obviously plug it. I think I picked the strategic spot in here because I have an outlet right there. Okay so I think the deal is when it comes to drying fruits or beef jerky each one of them has a specific temperature and also it's got a specific timeline or duration that you should be cooking it for. So let's see if I can find bananas in here. The first two pages of the recipe book they talk about specific temperature depending on what you want to make. So for herbs and flowers it says 95 degrees Fahrenheit citrus peel 135 fruit and fish 145 degrees Fahrenheit. So that's what I'm going to do right here and it's got a lot of great tips about dehydrating food for the first time like adding lemon juice to the fruit like apples and bananas so that it can help you prevent them from turning brown and there are a lot of information here about maintenance and cleaning. So I did a quick google search and it seems like to dehydrate bananas you would take from six to eight hours. So what I'm going to do I'm going to turn it on at 145 degrees Fahrenheit I'm going to set a timer for six hours I will check if they are dry enough we're good if not I'm going to give it some time to do its work but hopefully we don't miss this thing up. We filled five trays and I think this is good enough so I'm going to close this and the temperature I'm going to have to set it to 145 degrees. Time okay it's by default says eight hours I think that should be good eight hours okay ready it's making a bit of a noise here. I will leave the dehydrator do its work for about eight hours and we'll check back again.
