Can these be cut with scissors or tin snips for another size? Could they be used for dehydrator sheets?

Im sure you could, I've never needed to cut them. You might want to check with the company regarding the dehydrator question.

I wouldn't recommend it. They have a fiber on the inside and I think if it is cut it would fray and possibly get on food.

It certainly used to be in the instructions to cut them to size. I made the mistake, though, of following the lines of the embedded fibers. After I did it, I realized the fibers were not at all at a right angle to the edges. So I ended up with a trapezoid.......

I have cut silicone baking mats before with no issues. A simple pair of scissors will do the trick, but I use a straight-edge with a razor for a professional look.

I cut mine in half (with scissors) to fit a toaster oven and bake bread and cookies directly on the wire shelves. The inner fabric, possibly fiberglass cloth, is completely embedded in silicone and there's no hint of fraying after perhaps a hundred uses. Trail lawyers have everyone spooked.... particularly product manufacturers.

Just don't do it. Even if it does not fray, if fiber-glass gets in your food that is not good. The reason the directions say "DO NOT cut..." is because eating fiber-glass is bad in all ways. Just keep searching for a smaller mat or a mat that does not contain fiber-glass weave.

The included directions for cleaning and storage state:- DO NOT cut or use sharp objects on the mat. - NEVER use a cut or torn mat! If the mat becomes torn or cut, it cannot be used and must be replaced. - Constructed of FDA approved silicone, reinforced with fiber-glass weave. - Withstands temperatures from -40°F to 480°F (249°C).

Yes, you can cut them with scissors. I'm not sure about writing on them, but my guess would be that you can.

They can be cut, they are not capsules. If you crush these they would turn into powder, I believe.

You can use regular scissors to cut it. Even children's craft scissors will work.

I didn't cut mine but it shouldn't be a problem. The liners are thin and I would think scissors would work just fine

Yes. They are thin enough to cut with tile nippers. They are actually 3/8 inch, though, as opposed to some I'd bought elsewhere which were nominally 3/8 inch but slightly bigger. They'd be very small pieces if cut.

Yes, you can cut the tip any size. So I would think no tip would work great!! I just found them a bit small for what I was doing.

I use it on the thinnest setting for onions, cucumbers and carrots. The slices are paper thin. Do not know how it would work cutting thicker for dehydrating purposes.

NO, you cant cut them..they have glass particles inside of them and you can get hurt...and once they break IF they break you can't use them any more..also dont scrub them with anything rough...

Yes they can be cut, but I would recommend buying ones that fit, because there is I little lip around the inner and outer edge to keep everything from spilling off.

Absolutely you can cut them to the sizes you need. Just make sure not to cut the ice pockets

Yeap they sure can. The plastic is not that thick - kitchen scissors would work I imagine.

Charlotte these are great!!! You can put them out and keep reusing it until gone. I usually just snip it with scissors. Hope this helped ;)

Scissors, will work. You need a straight edge, to cut it with a utility knife.

I've never dried nuts, but I don't see why you couldn't. It might take a while though, since thin slicing of most foods makes for timely dehydrating.

Yes they can be cut to any size. It is a thin ribbed plastic so it is easy to cut along the ribs.

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.
