What sheets do you use with this unit when dehydrating fruit?

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.

I'm sorry, but I never use it for fruit. I only do jerky for my dog. Try the internet and see what they recommend. Wish I could have been more helpful!

no i didn't. i wash and cut the whole fruit and put it in and filled up with water. you can use the fruit a couple of times to make it more cost effective. hope this helps

I believe the slices would work in a dehydrator. They're about 3/16 I think.

Things always dry for me from the edges inward. That is why in the instructions it tells you to put all of the fruit (or vegetables) into an airtight container to sit for a few hours or overnight so the moisture can redistribute.

works fine for everything....but you might want to get some of the liner sheets for some fruits

I wanted a dehydrator that had a big open area inside. I use mine with the trays for food. And without the trays to dry sugar work . I love mine !!

I have used this dehydrator to dry apples (various types) and veggies. They both dried beautifully! I failed to mention that in my review! Again, I would highly recommend this dehydrator!

not familiar with your use for it but I bought it a few months ago and am Very happy with the quality of the unit. You would need silicone mats to do something like fruit roll ups.

The closest I saw in the instruction book is fruit leather. Traditional roll ups are mad from puréed fruit on sheets placed in a dehydrator. This has open trays to allow air circulation. You dry the piece of fruit rather than spread on sheets. I did pineapple slices that are delicious!

Thank you for the question. Whether you need the sheets depends on what you plan on making. Anything that is sticky or juicy will require the sheets to prevent things from dripping onto lower layers. For example, if you're making sweet potato chips and using olive oil, you'll need the sheets. But if you're making sweet potato chips and not using oil, the sheets are not necessary. Fruit roll ups would require a sheet since they're sticky and could make a mess on other trays. Apricots, on the other hand, not so much. I hope this helps.

James, Before you go out and spend money on this rather expensive sheet, just try some regular wax paper from the grocery store and see how that works with your dehydrator.

I have used this machine only two times. I believe there is a timer; for exact answer I would have to look it up. I dehydrated apples and persimmons and they came out great. Sorry I was not much help. I would have to look for the instruction booklet and can't find it readily. Sorry

The sheets are solid. The purpose of them is to be able to pour liquids on and eventually dehydrate to a solid form. I've no idea what Alton Brown's fan/filter/bungee dehydrator hack is... but it certainly sounds interesting! Good luck :)

Hi Amanda, Yes I have been using my 2 half sheets for longer almost a year. I am using the instructions located on Earthing's website. They recommended Ivory Snow and while it took me awhile to locate Ivory Snow I found it, and it works great. Earthing also sells their own powered soap if you can't locate Ivory Snow. I do not put them in a dryer. I hang them to dry. No problems. M. Maxwell-Struble

I think it is probably best to use at least a couple of quarts of fruit....otherwise the concentrated fruit juice may be too watered down from the steam.

You can, but it doesn't work nearly as well. If you do a fair amount of dehydrating, I would suggest you get these sheets.

Im not sure what you are talking about. But I use dryer sheets and fabric softness.
