Can you use the silicone drying trays (that you can purchase separately) for drying everything or just fruit leathers? I would rather not use plastic

Yes that is actually what they call for. The trays are a little smaller than the square trays so they fit fine. I have made several leathers with mine.

Theresa, I've had the machine for a couple of months now and have dried fruits, but my favorite is to make jerky. The unfortunate thing about jerky is that the marinades I make have sugars in them and are vary dark. I was able to wash my trays (ten of them) by stacking them in the bottom drawer of my dishwasher and running them through a full cycle, but NO HEATED DRYING. The trays came out spotless and it was running on economy mode. I hope this helps.

Yes! I don't dry them but hang them on hangers! If I need them to dry sooner I put them on air dry and that goes faster

It seems to be safe on anything made of leather, as long as you don't use too much. Now as for the perforations, I'm not sure what to do about that. How to keep the Lexol from filling the holes? Seems to me that anything would fill the holes... So after finishing, I guess just open the perforations back up with a stick the right thickness. Maybe little wooden skewers that they make for food.

The consistency of the dried silicone is quite pliable so should not be bothersome; not sure of possible chemical irritation so check online before using. Might be better product at materials retailer. Good luck.

i machine washed mine in warm water and hang dried em because the leather has the tendency to shrink and crack from high heat.

Hi, thanks for asking. I'm not sure that I would use a drying rack but sterilize the bottles. Tommee Tippee has their own sterilizer. My daughter-in-law doesn't use a rack but uses a sterilizer for my grandbaby. Sorry, I can't help more! http://www.tommeetippee.us/support/faqs/sterilizers-faqs/

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 bought a while ago, used with closed shoes, like, can not save it without washing and after washing and let it dry by storing separate plastics parts because they stick with each other. Mine are silicone, with time they became yellowish

2.Remove surface mold with damp cloth (mold will wipe off if the leather has been dried out completely).3.Allow leather to dry completly for a second time.4.Clean dried leather thoroughly with leather cleaner or a VERY mild soap like baby shampoo.http://www.google.com/search?q=removing+mold+from+leather

Definitely. Silicone is a very inert material in the solid state. They could however stain or trap odors. Thorough cleaning could reduce the possibility of these side effects.

I don't know how the manufacturer recommends that they be dried. Personally, I'd keep them out of a hot dryer for fear of loosening the silicone's bond with the fabric. Just hang them on a clothes hanger using safety pins or clothes pins, and let them air dry. (That seems silly. They're used for handling hot items, after all. But only for brief--not extended--periods.)

no you can't use the leather holder. It's a tight fit. It is water tight and I love it.

It's all plastic. The air for drying is warm but not hot do should be fine with plastic.

Product Description Super flexible sheets are coated with DuPont Teflon for non-stick fruit leathers, rollups, taffies. Reusable for years.These Dehydrator Sheets are easily cleaned with a warm water rinse, they are also dishwasher safe. I do find them a little thinner than the Excalibur brand. They tend to flap with the fan going when making fruit rolls.
