Is there some kind of mat that can be used in this to make fruit roll ups?

Hello Heather, We carry a silicone mat that can be purchased through our website. It is not available on amazon at this time. It is perfect for fruit leathers and other similar projects.

As others have said, the answer is definitely "no"as the mat is plastic - not silicone. It does roll up, as others have stated, but I strongly prefer to store it flat. It makes it easier to use the next time as it has a memory when rolled. I started storing it behind a solid, case good piece of furniture: ie console or sideboard. That worked fine until someone suggested I put it on the dining room table under the pads and table cloth. If you happen to leave those in place, it is definitely the best option for me for this item. Storing flat also makes it so I have absolutely no problem with slipping. As it is large, I do have to tuck it under a few things on the counter just to fit it in place. That may be why I've never had any slipping issues. As I told another person who asked a question, I actually purchased this because it was so inexpensive compared to the $30 range for the silicone mats. It also has all the nice markings/measurements. I didn't intend to like it so even before I bought it, I had given myself the permission to just consider the price a loss and buy the silicone WHEN I disliked this mat. Then I got a big shock. I LOVE this mat!! I have a small, silicone mat that I've had for years so I do have some idea of the differences. Though I wouldn't use a sharpened knife on this mat, it if definitely much sturdier than silicone and therefore you can your a much larger number of gadgets without the fear of damaging the mat - especially since it is so much cheaper than the silicone. The absolute only pro I can come up with for the silicone is that it can be folded or balled up and wrapped with a rubber band to save space. This mat has a much longer list of pros for me anyway. I know that is much more than you asked, but I can't help running off at the mouth about this mat as I was so very shocked that I really love it. I can't imagine needing to purchase another mat, but if I did, I would definitely, without question get this mat again! Hope that helps.

Yes. That is what I make and use the mat for. I thought the mat was awesome.

Yes - you can roll mat and it does stay flat after unrolling - I store mine in box it came in

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.

Does not have the fruit trays. I bought these separately. I love this machine We use it primary for jerky. I plan on using it soon for fruit roll ups.

Flexible roll up style. You could create your own plywood base and use industrial glue to secure this to a hard base.

Maybe a cold gelpak, something that is non-rigid. I don't have the mat with me at the moment, but based on my memory I think you could fit in something malleable that's no higher than 1-2".

The mat specifically listed as a Silpat for bread would not work as it has an open weave so the dough would push through. The regular Silpats are smooth with a closed weave and I have used them to work bread dough. Just have to have a good coat of flour to keep the dough from sticking as the mats are very smooth. I have used the regular Silpats to roll out pizza dough several times and they work well for that.

I echo Alan's response. It's pretty thick (which is a good thing for a mat like this) so you won't be able to roll it up tightly.

I use the microfiber mat. I'm sure there are drain boards big enough out there, but they might be kind of hard to find. I absolutely love this dish rack though. It was expensive, but well worth it.

I never re-roll mine, but I don't see why you couldn't. It's a durable rubber mat, just a little heavy.

The mat is rather soft for children's activities. A kids plastic placemat would be a better alternative.

The mat can be rolled up, but you do need something to secure the roll, such as a large rubber band. It's about 16 inches in circumference rolled up tightly.

There is a cheap, thin changing pad that comes with this. I use it, but have a pad that I place on top of it that is washable. The pad is thin and plastic. I do not know if there are particularly fitted mats for this. I have a changing pad that you would use when out and about that folds up that I lay on top of it. I hope this answers your question!

Yes, i use a Non-slip mat called "sisal litter-trapper mat. This mat traps & prevents litter from scattering, has a non-skid backing, & made from sisal, a natural fiber.

Probably not. I would use the fruit roll up screens for those things. They do not have holes so you can dry tiny things or even fruit paste or applesauce on them.
