does this heat the food? or does it just dehydrate? I want to know if it will cook the meat or if i put in already cooked meat?

The Dehydrator temperature of the air is just right enough to dry the food but not cook it. Cooking the meat is matter of preference but I personally prefer to do proper marination and dehydrating... short answer, cooking is not necessary.

Does it have an adjustable drying temperature. If not, what temperature is maintained during operation?

The maintained temperature during operation is at approx 155-165°F.

Is there any way to turn down the temperature?

Not that I have found. The unit has only an on/off switch. I haven't had any problem with the temperature. I just check periodically to see how the drying is going. It has worked well for us so far.
