Even Drying ~ From Top to Bottom

According to NESCO®, you get even-drying from top to bottom because of NESCO's Converge-A-Flow® air-flow design.

This is supposed to eliminate the tray rotation, but I still rotate the trays, anyway.

They also have clear NESCO® food dehydrator trays so you can see what's drying.

They also have a Snackmaster® Square Dehydrator and Jerky Maker as mentioned in the RED WORDS/links near the top of the page.

Easy-To-Use Temperature Selector

The NESCO® food dehydrator models have a temperature selector on the lid and are easy to read and use.

The NESCO® food dehydrator fan is located on the top inside the lid, (which is better than some models where the fan is at the bottom, as it makes it a breeze to keep clean!)

There isn't an on/off switch on the NESCO® food dehydrator, you just have to plug the dehydrator in and unplug it when you're done. More on that below.

Buy a Lamp "Timer-switch"

I feel good about being able to use as many dehydrator trays as needed, rather than having to run the machine with empty trays. Sometimes I'll have just four trays going, and some days seven!

Nesco Food Dehydrator:
Features Stackable Trays; Fan is in the Lid

I began with the NESCO®  four-tray model and purchased additional trays.

They come in sets of two at a very reasonable price.

I was pleased that the new NESCO food dehydrator trays color-matched perfectly with the old(er) trays for an almost seamless stacking experience!

I also made sure I had solid fruit roll sheets too, more on these coming up!

Nesco Clean-a-Screen and Fruit Rolls Sheets

So for now, when only using TWO trays for the roll-ups until you have purchased more fruit roll sheets to make the stack of trays add up to four, add an empty tray (without clean-a-Screens, more on those coming up) in-between the fruit roll trays and one more on top, so that you have the 'four tray minimum' for drying.

NESCO®  food dehydrators also have "Clean-a-Screens" which are circular plastic mesh flexible screens. They have little half-round cutouts for your fingers to enable easy removal of the sheets—and that's great!

They fit neatly into the dehydrator trays and this enables you to keep small foods from falling through to the trays below (as foods shrink when they dry out!)

Sticky Foods on Screens Clean Off Easily

Also, any sticky fruits/foods clean off really easily from these dehydrator screens—which is their intended purpose. I just soak mine in the sink, then gently scrub away any stubborn particles, but honestly, it's rare that I have to put that much elbow grease into cleaning them.

My 4-tray model came complete with two Fruit Roll Sheets as mentioned above, and these are like the Clean-a-Screens because they fit neatly into the trays, but these are solid so that the tray's contents CAN'T spill or seep through! Important when pouring puréed fruits to make the fruit roll-ups!

The NESCO® dehydrator company also offers cookbooks and Jerky Gun Kits.

NOTE: Some of you have written in saying that you've been using plastic wrap instead of the NESCO® Fruit Roll sheets—word of caution here! Make SURE you DO NOT cover the center hole in the trays—if you do, you won't get ANY air circulation and you'll likely burn the motor/thermostat out if you forget.

I'd err on the safe side and get more Fruit Roll Sheets because of their affordability.
