Need screens and liners for dehydrator

[Travis Colvert]

Got a dehydrator for christmas. Only came with 1 fruit leather sheat and no screens. It's the cabela's, LEM, prago vegikiln, good4u style. I can NOT find screens or liners that are pre-made for this style anywhere (even though various models of this style include liners and screens).

Any help would be appreciated.

I use greaseproof paper-not sure what it's called in the US-baking sheet?

[Walter Carrington]

It's called parchment paper and comes in rolls at grocery stores. Line the tray with it for more liquid things you're dehydrating, like sauces.

Yep, parchment paper. Don't get wax paper though!

It is often reusable many times as well. And works with solid liquids :-) Unlike the hard plastic liners they sell for machines, the paper is flexible making removal of leathers much easier – no picking or scraping.

What about longer lasting materials such as paraflexx or an equivilant? and what to do for screens? I saw that cabela's actually has some of each, however they both have a rectangular hole in the middle.

The best screen I have ever used was MYOG nano-see-um netting. It is infinitely reusable, flexible, non-stick and quick drying. Works well on all but the runniest of foods.

Where did you get the material from?

Thru-Hiker.com

If you find any old aluminum window screens, they work well and can easily be cut to size.

Alot of DIY solar/regular dehydrators use these.

Just a note… buy good quality parchment. Some of the cheaper brands will stick to the food. Don't get parchment confused with waxed paper either.

What do you use for screens?
