Abstract
A food dehydrator comprises a housing and a door slidably and pivotably affixed to the housing. The housing defines a food cavity and has an opening defined in the housing to enable access to the food cavity. The housing comprises opposing top and bottom walls, a back wall opposite the opening, and opposing side walls. The door is selectively movable between a closed position closing off the opening thereby blocking access to the food cavity and an open position enabling access to the food cavity. The door, when in the open position, may rest on the top wall.
