I just got my new Excalibur and read through their manual section about raw /living food and they suggested to intially set the thermostat to 145 degrees for the first couple hours to stop the potential of spoilage or bacteria growth. After that then set the thermostat to the desired temerature. I have only been transitioning to raw for 3 months and this is my first dehydrator but none of the recipes I’ve seen mentions this high temp. I was just wondering how others felt about this. I don’t want to over heat my food but also am a little nervous about it going bad.
