If you want a Dehydrator in Stardew Valley, make sure you have acquired the recipe from Pierre’s General Store in Pelican Town. However, the recipe is rather costly, especially for an early-game purchase.

The following are the items you need to make a Dehydrator:

• 10000g
• 30 Wood
• 2 Clay
• 1 Fire Quartz

Once you have collected all the required ingredients and have the Dehydrator on your Crafting tab in the menu, you can craft it. Notably, collecting clay in Stardew Valley can be quite tricky, if not done properly.

Another way to obtain this machine is through Mayor Lewis' prize machine as a reward. Furthermore, you can grow mushrooms in response to Demetrius' inquiry about the cave on your land. Subsequently, he will provide a Dehydrator as a free giveaway.

Once you have placed the Dehydrator on your farm, you can place various products inside it and wait for them to dry further. After the products are ready, there are three possible options to deal with them. You can sell them, consume them, or offer them as gifts.

The following are the items you can make using a Dehydrator in Stardew Valley:

Dried Mushroom

• Components: 5 mushrooms (any kind)
• Time: 1 day

Dried Fruit

• Components: 5 fruits (any kind)
• Time: 1 day

Raisin

• Components: 5 grapes
• Time: 1 day

You can sell Dried Mushrooms and Dried Fruit at Pierre’s General Store or in the shipping bin. Raisins are also valuable for selling, but it's worth noting that Evelyn loves this item and it would make an excellent gift.

That said, if you require more golds and want to improve your relationship with Evelyn, it might be better to use them for yourself to boost your energy and health instead of giving them away.
