This is a Dörrex, a traditional food dehydrator used in Swiss homes. 🇨🇭🍎 Our version is designed to sit on top of a wood-fired oven, using gentle heat to dry fruit, herbs and mushrooms.
Food drying is a practice that dates back centuries—long before electricity—when families relied on simple, clever ways to preserve the harvest through the long Alpine winters.
A small but fascinating glimpse into everyday Swiss life and ingenuity.
