Stainless Steel Biltong Box Food Dehydrator and Drying Cabinet – Large 10 Trays, 5 Hanging Rods, with 20-90°C Temperature Control – Perfect for Drying Biltong, Meat, Vegetable & Fruit

The Kalahari Stainless Steel Biltong Box Food Dehydrator and Drying Cabinet is a fantastic and high quality device. We’ve been making biltong, dry wors, and dried fruit since the day we got it. It’s very easy to use, and on thinner pieces of meat, if you don’t have patience, you can make biltong overnight. If you like biltong and live in a place where it’s very expensive, like most countries outside SA, this will save you a lot of money pretty quickly, and you can make your own high quality biltong easily and safely.

So basically this is a dehydrator that has been modified to work like a biltong box. I think the idea is excellent and it works well, plus you get the best of both worlds. It also looks good (unlike home made ones) and will fit in any room. It was pretty quiet. I was able to fit about 2KG (4.4 lbs) of meat in this machine without being over packed. I had large slabs and a couple of smaller pieces. The smaller pieces took 2-3 days to be ready (I like medium to dry biltong). The larger pieces took about 5 days. Note, the ones at the back closer to the fan dry quicker in my experience. Overall, really like this biltong box and feel like it was worth it. Really like the biltong book that came with it and the hooks for hanging are perfect.Some things I would like to see change:1) it would be nice if the box could run for a few days without needing to reset the timer every 24 hours. Not a big deal if you are at home and the box is in an easy place to reset but if you go away for a couple days it would be a problem.2) would be nice if there was some sort of clip or something to keep the hanging bars in place, they easily fall out and it’s a mission to put them back when the box is fully packed.Overall as is, I still give it 5 stars as it does what it promises and more.

Being from South Africa, my husband and I LOVE biltong, but it's not really available here in the US. This dehydrator makes the best biltong possible! I have also dried fruit in it; my favorite is pineapple or apple.

This requires intervention every 24 hours or it will shut off, this was not clear to me in the description.Great support so far. Apart from having to turn it on more than once it does work very well. Recipe book is a great addition.

Really easy to use! It is much quieter than I imagined - you can barely hear it. We tried one of the recipes in the book and our chili bites turned out great on the very first try. They only had to dry for 24 hours, despite many other recipes calling for 3-5 days.

Great biltong maker So easy to use and super quiteSuper recipe guide tooFrom a proud South Africa 🇿🇦

Just received this, haven't yet used. However, it looks solidly built. I like the fact that the temp drops low enough for biltong, but it can also be used like any other food dehydrator. Comes with 1-year warranty, which seems a bit short, so I hope it will last a lot longer than that. Side handles for lifting (the top can get hot) are a nice touch. Vents out both sides of the door is a clever way to direct air flow across the food. I look forward to using it.

We absolutely love this biltong maker. It makes amazing biltong in just 3 days. We also love making dehydrated apple slices on the racks. Super easy and efficient and looks great!
