Good for dehydrated items?

I haven't used mine for dehydrated items, but it surely should work. I use it for other dry items like crackers and cookies. A friend uses it for dry sausage they do in a dehydrator. I am so glad I purchased this appliance. I use it so much, It seldom even leaves the countertop!

I would say yes, absolutely. We love our seal a meal. Don't know why we didn't purchase one ages ago.

I think so, but I avoid putting wet vegetables into these bags...I mostly use them for fruit, onions, tomatoes, avocados, things like that. They are washable, of course, but wetness will leak through the mesh.

I have no idea, I've only ever used with disposable. I don't see why not if they are kept moist, it just warms the contents from the bottom.

Just plain tap water will work some. Anything that will not hurt the item you're putting it, or stainless steel, could be used as solution.

I think that would be a great idea. You want to store them in a dry place, so I think sealing them up would work well.

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.

No, I am sorry this is a light duty item. I use mine for luggage, jewelry boxes, inside my safe, closed areas that would not be exposed to constant moisture. You could try damp rid it handles larger areas; however I think that you may need something more heavy duty like a dehumidifier.

Jeanne: I would be glad to answer your question, but I bought the dehydrater for my daughter-in-law as a Christmas present. She hasn't yet let me know how good it is. I am sorry that I can't be of more help. Eloise

the water packs should be ok if you keep them out of direct sunlight and reasonably protected from damage i.e canvas day pack etc. loose under yourseat or in your glove box is probably not a good idea. keep in mind if these packs get hot enough or freeze they will burst. as with any survival food stuffs keep it updated. if they are outdated don't toss them use them for rehydration of your emergency food when you cook. hope this helps. vic

In my opinion these are not meant for drying. They are very good for polishing and or wax removal. For drying I think the meguiars x2000 water magnet is the best.

They are reusable, good and essential if you have a Excalibur 5-tray dehydrator. In fact, it's useful to have a 6th sheet to place on the floor of the dehydrator to catch potential drips.

Trimming NOT OK due to the inner fibers in the mat. I've never used them in a dehydrator, so that part of the question I cannot answer.

The LEM dehydrator's primary purpose is to dry meats for jerky. They are also great for anything else that you can dehydrate. I really love mine and would highly recommend this product for anyone interested.

I have dried fruit and jerky with very minimal sticking if any. The non-stick trays, I believe, would be more for drying purees.

Yes, they are safe to use for hanging damp clothes. I have done it without a problem.

I just saw a dehydrator on ebay with stainless steel shelves for $269 with free shipping. It is STX DEHYDRA 1200W - XLS 10 TRAY COMMERCIAL 100% STAINLESS FOOD DEHYDRATOR. I think they are on there quite frequently. I, too, am looking for a good dehydrator, and the reviews on this Amazon one are the best I have seen. I have seen a lot of review on the ones with stainless steel trays and they apparently are NOISY. I have a small house and don't want a ton of noise, which is one of the reasons this one on Amazon appealed to me, but the plastic trays are a definite drawback. I think I will keep looking a bit longer, but I may end up going with this one, plastic or not. :-)

I've never used more than came with it so I'm not sure how they do. Maybe others who are more familiar with dehydrating could tell you.
