Hello,I do not remember if it came with a book. I learned about dehydrating from the Optimum Health Institute and bought my first Excalibur from them in year 2000. It still works beautifully and the Teflon sheets I bought to go with it are still in good shape and are a must buy to go with your dehydrator. It has 5 trays.

There is an optional book that Excalibur publishes. Well worth the money to get it with the dehydrator. I have the larger one and it is awesome! If you can the larger one is just better--same footprint but has more shelves so you can dehydrate more at once.

Hi Lauren. No, it did not come with a tray. Previous models did because this is our second one. We happened to own one of those stonewear from Pampered Chef made for the toaster ovens. It works pretty good, but would still like to have one of the metal type broiler trays that used to come with them. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

No, it comes with the trays.. you will need to supply seasonings if you wish to use them (like for jerky) and you might want to get some tray liners.. but it is not needed.. you just have to scrub a little harder to get them clean without the tray liners.

Yes it came with instructions and temp & time recommendations based on what you're dehydrating. At the rear of the booklet, they have a few recipes.

Yes. But you will want to order the tray liners if you want to make fruit leathers or anything that would fall through the mesh. It's a great dehydrator.

No, but there are pictures on the back that make it all very self-explanatory. The packets inside are colored and each individual section in the tray in the box is a different shape, making it easy to tell where each packet should go. The instructions are in colors so it tells you which colored packet goes where and in what order. Additionally, the amount of the cups of water are also included next to each step in the instruction (there is a small water measuring cup they give you. If all else fails, just look up a YouTube video for instructions and follow along as the person in the video does it. They usually tell you how much water to put in, where the packets go, and how to go about making the treat. No, but there are pictures on the back that make it all very self-explanatory.

The Nesco site says 12 trays total can be used at one time on this dehydrator. I personally have used 12 with no trouble to dry several pounds of beef jerky.

No. Trays are not included. If you don't have any, get the thin ones that Watts Power sells.

No, unfortunately these are not the correct pictures. The one I ordered has just a singular tray that you can take out.

No it did not. It came with a CD, some recipe book, and a plunger. But no dry/wet containers. I suppose you need to order them separately.

No it does not come with trays.. plus if you leave it on your teeth more than an hour it can make them sensitive

It comes with two trays. Two should be all you need. I used them for the first few months, but as my daughter got older she pretty much always drank 4 to 5 oz each bottle so I just froze my milk in the freezer bags instead of spending the time filling the trays. Good luck!

I believe it came with 5, then I ordered the add on pack. You can dry using up to 7 trays.
