Fruit Leather? Eggs? Wondering if you can use the silicone sheets to make fruit leather or dehydrate any other liquid?

With the unit come some teflon (or something) sheets, made specifically for fruit leather. They were the reason my Dad originally called the company, to ask what they were for. Eggs? I don't know. But the owner of the company is very proud of his product and I'm sure would be happy to answer that.

Hey Ron,Leather Milk does not contain any silicone. All our recipes are composed entirely of natural ingredients. Some types of leather may respond to treatments differently than others, so it's always wise to test any conditioner you plan to use in a discreet area first. That said, Leather Care Liniment was designed to be on the gentler side, designed with a water base that allows the recipe great versatility and ease of use. In most cases, the formula does not affect the color or shine of leather either way - only enriching the natural color that is already there. Sort of like HD-ing your leather.

I use all kinds of textures from nuts to all types of fruit and veggies. it depends how smooth you want the final product to be. Just let it run longer or add more milk/water for extra smoothness.

Have not tried this but seems like you could do this. Their initial state is more crusty than leathery. Your flavoring and other additives will also make a difference in final jerky-texture.

I'm not sure how to answer that, to be honest. What you purchase is up to you. If you are questioning the picture associated with the product you would receive the plastic sheets if you buy the sheets- which are a separate purchase from the dehydrator itself (i.e. not included). "Fruit stuff" is never included in appliance or accessory purchases; but, could possibly be had through Amazon Grocery. I hope that helped.

My son, as Jesus turned water into wine, you can turn Silicone spray into liquid..., just spray and out comes the liquid! AMEN.

No. I just use fruit that is on sale/in-season and chop it up, cook in a pot with a 1/4 of water, add lemon juice and sugar to taste. Then blend. Add extra sugar if needed. Pour it on the sheets and let them dehydrate. Hope this helps!

I think the strawberries and bananas and the mangos would be great. I'm not sure the apples would work since the skin is still on them. I'll have to try that. Honestly, they never last long enough to go into a smoothie!

I've used paper before, but never the silicone liners. Might be worth a try. You can also skip the paper liners with muffins--they hold up well without them!

I have this dehydrator, The trays that come with it work best for medium to large items, I have found some heat safe roll-outs that fit these trays to accommodate the smalls and fruit leather.

It comes with 9 of the white plastic drying sheets. If you want to make fruit leathers you will need to purchase the brown solid sheets separately.

I soak mine in very hot soapy water with a pinch of vinegar to kill any odor that was absorbed into the silicone. I have never experienced trouble w this process. My kids also will run them under hot water to help loosen the frozen yogurt before they eat it and that works well. No chemical taste is transferred to the frozen food in the silicone mold. These are wonderful, I will be ordering more!! Definitely worth every cent invested.

I have used the Jam function I had some freeze dried fruit. reconstituted the freeze dried cherries and strawberries dumped them added water sugar and pectin. It works fine. You can run the cycle again if it's too liquid.

It depends on how big the fruit is when it is dried. I found that most of the stuff did fall through so I went to Hobby Lobby and purchased some canvas sheets used for stuff like yarn work. Cut them to fit the trays and worked beautifully.

I did use it to dehydrate a couple of years ago. I remember it worked well. I sliced fruit really thin to make fruit leather. Do a trial batch.

You have to buy the fruit sheets separate for puree fruit. Just slice fruit you can use the grated sheets that come with the Treat maker. My dog's love the dried chicken jerky treats. You know the treats are safe when you make them your self. I love the treat maker, and would recommend it for anyone that has pets.
