DOSTK (8 Pack) Round Silicone Dehydrator Sheets, Premium Non Stick Silicone Mesh for Fruit Dehydrator, Dehydrator Tray Liner Reusable (Round 13" Diameter)

These guys saved my tail! I don't use for food but they still work all the same. Trim to fit but im not complaining about that. When drying brass it definitely makes easier to pick shells back out with how well these stick the shells in place. The small mesh design has been amazing. Smells aren't falling through the inserts anymore which is nice. When i was trimming i found their durability rather high. it was tricky to trim, make sure you have good scissors otherwise frustration ahead!

These silicone sheets have been a total game changer for my dehydrating setup. If you’ve ever struggled with fruit leathers sticking to plastic trays or small herbs falling through the cracks, these are the "missing link" you need. While they don't magically speed up the drying time, they make the cleanup and removal process incredibly realistic and hassle-free. The non-stick surface is excellent; even the stickiest purees peel right off without leaving a mess behind. They fit my round trays perfectly, and unlike parchment paper, they don’t crinkle or need to be replaced after every use.

These are great to use when I was dehydrating tomatoes from my garden. It kept them from sticking to the trays.

I have a pretty generic dehydrator that I got off of eBay that works pretty good, but it came with no accessories and I feel the trays have a little bit big of a circumference than in others. The parchment paper I would previously use is too small and tended to move around as stuff would dehydrate and get smaller, so it was annoying to deal with. These are perfect for most of the stuff I dehydrate and can do even more, such as ground protein or canned fish. If I had my rosemary bush still, it would've been ideal for that, as well. I don't use it to dehydrate my basil, since those leaves are decently sized and need more airflow than these covers give but that same airflow seems perfect for anything else I need to use it for, as I never have to go over the time specified for different food. I haven't made anything messy like spaghetti with my dehydrator, so I can't tell if that would make it harder to clean or not, but so far, they do really seem pretty easy to clean. I think having certain brushes around would be beneficial, just because I run into problems that may occur with these liners just by using basic strainers.

I bought these because I make lots of dried tomatoes at this time of year. The sheets are just the right size for round trays of a Nesco dehydrator. The tomatoes don't stick to these sheets. And the hard-plastic Nesco trays stay clean enough that I don't have to run them through the dishwasher. These sheets can be removed and cleaned simply by scrunching them up and scrubbing them together under running water. And if that's not good enough for you, running them through the dishwasher is a snap, compared to cleaning the underlying Nesco trays that way. All told, they make production of dried tomatoes in a Nesco dryer substantially easier. No idea how long they'll last, and so on. No signs of wear and tear yet. For about a buck a tray, these silicone tray liners are well worth the money in terms of reduced hassle.
