Can you use the trays to dry wheat berries, or would they fall through?

I recommend purchasing dehydrator sheets to prevent them from falling through. There are people on Amazon who sell generic sheets that fit the Excalibur for dirt cheap. Best of luck! Regards, Jamaica - The Healthy Corner Store

I have put in a small stack about an inch thick with no problem. I just don't put more in simply because I don't use them as often and don't want them to dry out.

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

They sit inside cut outs on the tray. They don't actually attach in any way. I have never had them fall out when sliding the tray out.

I haven't tried that, but we've had success with everything we tried. I do think the openings on the tray might be too big to hold cereal pieces well.

These trays are soft and rubbery in your mouth. I do not think they are hard enough to use to prevent grinding.

Yes, I suppose you could. You would just have to work the tray out gently as there are a couple of raised points on the plastic to keep it in place. I've done that when I've wash the tray.

I gave this as a gift to my daughter for Christmas 2 years ago - she still uses it often. Sadly I don't know about the trays.

They work well as long as the fruit is dry when you put it in. Don't wash beforehand. If they are a little dampish from being ripe, I sometimes put a piece of paper towel in with them.

I can not answer that because we used them for cereals. I would think that you could though , they do come through nicely.

I just called to ask the company this question before making the purchase (as grinding sprouted berries is a must for me), and they said it is just fine as long as the sprouted berries are completely dry/dehydrated before putting them through the mill.

Yes you can , but this tray is not stable enough to guarantee that the items on it will not slide off. It's pretty flimsy but it does help to hold things up for temporary use.

you could just use the trays without the silicone sheets to dry most thing but fruit leathers,maybe small berries best to use the sheelts , I would highly recommend the sheets , I would not ever use plastic . Hope this helps

I don't think so. The holes are large enough that the seeds would pass through. In my cooking classes we learned to press the seeds from berries in a fine mess strainer. Such as this one... http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-8-Inch-Double-Strainer/dp/B00004OCLX/ref=sr_1_4?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1408731180&sr=1-4&keywords=fine+mess+strainer

I don't think so. They're made of paper, which would make it difficult not only to "clean" but would probably deteriorate their effectiveness once it dried. Never tried it, but wouldn't really recommend it.

You can but it is clumsy. The trays are very flexible which makes it great getting the cubes out, either one, a few, or all, but when you are moving tray with water in it, that flexibility works against you. Until you have the tray on a flat surface it is very easy to spill the water.

I just have them sitting in a plastic tray in a bathroom cabinet drawer. They don't dry out or anything.
