Wartmann Dehydrator WM-1912 DH 12er

Dehydrating with fine steel in XXL format

Do-it-yourself dehydrating with nutrient-preserving temperatures is a current trend from the "No Waste" movement. However, this preservation technique dates back to the beginnings of mankind and was and is a gentle, natural and safe way of preserving food. The fact that the material used in the WM-1912 DH is very robust and durable and completely recyclable is ideal for this. Even its little brother, the WM-1902 DH, became a favourite with our customers and received very positive feedback. The large Wartmann also combines state-of-the-art technology and timeless design. The temperature and time settings are made via a touch display, which can be operated from the front. The appliance can also be raised or stacked.

The Wartmann WM-1912 DH is characterised by:

• Digital temperature control from 25° C
• 72-hour timer
• Stainless steel outside and inside
• 12 stainless steel shelves
• Even horizontal airflow
• Easy cleaning thanks to crumb tray and smooth surfaces
• Double-walled construction

Culinary delights from the dehydrator

Temperature control opens up a new dimension of culinary variety - valuable vital substances are preserved without sacrificing flavour. Try lasagne, crackers and bread, vegetable crisps, pizzas, fruit leather etc. that come out of the dehydrator instead of the traditional oven. The usual approach is to reach your goal quickly with high temperatures and few ingredients. The optionally available dehydrating films support the production of fruit leather, crackers etc. Take the alternative route, gently, at a low temperature and therefore products with maximum nutrient density. There are virtually no limits to your culinary imagination with the Wartmann dehydrator. New textures are also possible - such as crispy crackers in raw food quality or slightly dried fruit straight from the dehydrator: nice and warm and still juicy on the inside.

Can also be used for professional applications

With this range of drying space, Wartmann appeals to both commercial and private users. Processing a few kg of apples into delicious rings - no problem. You'll be amazed how quickly the 12 stainless steel dehydrator drawers are filled. A sponge of fruit and vegetables from your own garden that needs preserving or a batch of overripe bananas at a special price will delight amateur and professional chefs alike. And all this in a temperature range that you determine and not your trusted supplier. Incidentally, dehydrators are very popular with fans of the celery juice cure. The resulting celery pomace is ideal for savoury raw food crackers.

Efficient, even drying thanks to big box technology

The categorisation into good and less good dehydrators is simple. The aim is always to achieve effective and, above all, homogeneous drying. A good dehydrator has the following features.

• Horizontal ventilation flow across all shelves
• Temperature setting accurate to the degree in Celsius
• Food-safe materials
• Even air distribution in the appliance

The Wartmann dehydrator brings the last point in particular to perfection. The Wartmann technicians have discovered that even drying over the entire surface is particularly well guaranteed if the fan and heat source are not placed directly next to the shelves. They developed the idea of the "big box" and determined the optimum distance between the fan and drying racks. When you open the stainless steel door of the dehydrator, you immediately recognise the implementation. Everything looks very tidy and well thought out and the distance between the back wall and the shelves is over 15cm. Our practical test has shown that all 12 drawers are very well ventilated and the sophisticated air circulation ensures even results.

Drying in raw food quality

What many people who already own a dehydrator don't realise is that the valuable ingredients in fruit and vegetables are destroyed by high temperatures. That is why it is important to us at Keimling Naturkost it is important to us that all our dehydrators have an adjustable temperature of 42° C. This is also the case with the large Wartmann. It even has an initial temperature of just 25° C, which is unique on the dehydrator market. The delicacies that you produce in your own dehydrator below 42° C cannot be bought ready-made, except from us and a few other suppliers! And this is the treasure you hold in your hands with your own dehydrator. Create healthy treats in your own kitchen, where you determine the additives and ingredients yourself. You will be rewarded with authentic flavour and health-promoting ingredients.

Preserving food

Dehydrating concentrates and intensifies flavours. Exciting new flavours are created. Simply place the prepared pieces of fruit and vegetables on the grids of the stainless steel shelves. For example, cut kiwis into thin slices and dry at 42 degrees. A summery, fruity raw food treat - even in autumn and winter! Never again fret about throwing away overripe fruit and vegetables and at the same time fill your own stores with long-life, tasty food - this quickly becomes a reality with the Wartmann WM-1912 DH.

Large surfaces for small quantities

What do you do if you don't want to dry that much food and the appliance doesn't fill up properly? It is important to know that most of the electricity consumption is used to power the heating coil. The fan, which is always running, only accounts for approx. 15% of the total consumption. This means that if only three of the 12 plug-in units are occupied, the heating is used much less and the power consumption is reduced considerably. The power consumption when all the racks are occupied with apple rings and dried at 42° C is 8.1 kw within 24 hours.

The Wartmann dehydrator has overheating protection. This means that the appliance switches off automatically if the temperature rises above 100 degrees Celsius.

Extra tip:Special dehydrating sheets can be used to turn liquid or mushy ingredients into crackers, cake and pizza dough and fruit leather. Unlike coated baking paper, which is not suitable for repeated use, our special dehydrating films can be reused for years. Therefore, order the matching films as accessories at the same time.
