Laurie,
I have Excalibur 3000 Series, Model 3926T – 9 tray – 600 watts. The trays are 14' x14".
Dec 8, 2010 at 8:19 am #1672183okay… same one as I have… I noticed that some brands of parchment aren't quite wide enough so I've been using a rolled "seam" of sorts and tacking it down with a bit of butcher tape to keep liquid from getting under it. When I do soups I make a dam around the edge with the veggies and then put the more liquid part in the middle – then, as it becomes dry enough that it won't run off the trays, I spread things out.
Hope that helps. One thing I do like about my Nesco over my Excalibur is that the fruit trays have a lip.
