The machine comes with many new features that will provide convenience, unifor- mity, and efficiency. The featured advancement on the Sedona Combo is the dual temperature and dual timer setting with a "Fast" and "Raw" mode. The "Fast" mode allows users to set the temperature setting up to 155 degrees Fahrenheit. The "Raw" mode allows users to set the tempera- ture with the overheating protection component that will dehydrate the food at 118 degrees Fahrenheit or less, which is the desired temperature to preserve the nutrients and enzymes in the food. These options can be used as a combo mode by setting the temperature for "Fast" mode for a specific time and set- ting the "Raw" mode continuously for the remaining time. Not only does the Sedona offer the dual temperature and timer features, the machine has many new improvements which make it stand out against the competition. The Sedona Combo show- cases an elegant design with a stainless steel handle, glass window, nine BPA-free trays, one debris mat for easy cleaning, and dual fan technology for energy sav- ing. The dual fan technology is the state of the art engineering behind the Sedona which includes sets of two independ- ently operating fans and their dedicated heating coils, for both simultaneous and independent operation of nine trays dehydration sys- tem to distribute and circulate effective- ly while preventing any unnecessary power consumption. The Sedona Combo also provides a new feature of a multi lateral air flow guide which dis- tributes the air flow more effectively guiding the air multi laterally; parallel, and left to right. With these many improvements, the Sedona Combo Raw Food Dehydrator is easily one of the top choices for raw food dehydrators providing quiet dual fan technology, dual timer and temperature set- tings, and a detachable digital control setting. Tribest always strives to provide affordable innovative appli- ances that motivate healthy living and the Sedona Combo repre- sents just that. Tribest Corporation fully backs the Sedona Combo Raw Food Dehydrator with a full five-year war- ranty.

KITCHENHAPPY PREMIERES FASTA PASTA PERFECTION Fasta Pasta™, the microwave pasta cooker, is perfect for college students. It's perfect for boaters and vacationers. It's perfect, well, for perfect al dente pasta—every time. It's just plain per- fect and that's why KitchenHappy™ is perfectly pleased to make Fasta Pasta available to consumers across North America. Compact, efficient, easy to store, Fasta Pasta joins KitchenHappy's pop- ular single-handed server, Snapi™. The two share several attributes: BPA- free, dishwasher-safe and most impor- tant, completely made in America. Sally Berlin, Owner of Crystal Crate and Cargo in Beulah, Mich., said sales increase when customers know Fasta Pasta is manufactured in the United States. "People don't trust plas- tics made out of this country, especial- ly when food is involved," Berlin said. "They want it made in America by Americans." Linda Huff, Co-Owner of Mis en Place, in Astoria, Ore., said she bought one case of Fasta Pastas as a trial sim- ply because they are made in America, but ordered more after testing them. "Before selling to my customers, I cooked small shell macaroni in one," Huff said. "I followed directions and it came out perfect with no messy boil- over. I tried different pastas and it con- tinued to come out perfect every time. So I put the Fasta Pastas on our store's front table. It's a great seller." Both Berlin and Huff agree that people who want Fasta Pasta range from college students to seniors and from singles to vacationers with small- er microwaves. "It's truly convenient," Berlin said. "Young moms can get lunch in a hurry. Pasta with a little bit of parmesan cheese and seasoning: perfect lunch for a child. Anyone can cook complete meals in it, too. The recipe book that comes with it has so many recipes—you can actually bake a cake in it!" Retailing for $12.99, Fasta Pasta is appealing for another very important reason: It has only two parts to clean (both dishwasher safe) and eliminates the need for strainers, pots or addition- al sauce pans. KitchenHappy product marketing manager Scott Mahrle said, "In my opinion, it's one of Fasta Pasta's best- selling points; it lets us all enjoy per- fect pasta without the thought of a pot- mess!"
