Meaning, when we’re dehydrating stuff we really don’t have the counter space to keep it out, and could we have it in a cupboard while dehydrating, or does it need sufficient air flow to operate? and of course there’s the safety issue—would it be dangerous to keep it (while operating) in a cupboard?
thank you!

I wouldn’t leave a dehydrator on in a cupboard. If it’s an Excalibur, you have to keep it out in the open (plus, it’s too big to store in small spaces)
A dehydrator needs sufficient air flow to operate.
It might get too hot in a cupboard. Could you put it in a different room? My friend has hers in the garden shed.
no, we have a really small apt and my hubby thinks we have too many kitchen appliances as it is. Simply no room. Oh well, I will have to live without for the time being.
we are having a similar problem. we put the toaster away for now. i used it more than he does.
but my husband doesn’t like the noise of the dehydrator. so I may have to move it.
yeah, we have the same problem. Fortunately, my toaster oven broke and I reclaimed some counter space. Some days, I put the dehydrator in the oven when I need more space… make sure NOT to turn on the oven at this time.
The noise… yes, well, if it’s over night, it doesn’t matter much. You wake up smelling the food. Yumm!
Oh yeah, and it helps that we just got a flat top stove… works great as a counter!
bitt, the dehydrator makes NOISE? I thought it was really quiet for some reason… sigh.
