How many of these sheets can be put on the dehydrator at the same time? Also, should they go on the top shelves or the bottom ones?

It's one fruit roll sheet per tray. I've been putting ten trays, each with one fruit roll sheet per tray, under the dehydrator cover where the heat comes from, and on top of the base.

I only have two and use them both. I have experimented with the top or bottom question myself. it seems they do better on bottom or in the middle. top didn't do well for me.

I use 4 at a time. Could easily do one sheet on each "level" of the dehydrator though... I just only have 4 sheets. If I had more, I'd use more at one time. If I'm pureeing up all of the fruit and roasted veggies I'd rather make one big batch and get a lot...

I only have 3 sheets and use them all at the same time. One rack for each and it works out just fine.

The sheets go over your current trays. Ultimately it depends on how many trays you have. Also, they can go on any shelf. I have found that those closer to the fan dehydrate sooner (which makes sense). My dehydrator came with 5 trays (shelves) and I just purchased 4 more, so if I had 9 of the sheets (which I don't) I could put 9 on the dehydrator.

I used to only have 2 so I put 2 in at the same time. I just ordered another 2 so I will be doing 4 on the next batch. I plan to rotate them half way thru as the top usually get more heat.

It depends on what's in there, temperature, and more liquids in the dehydrator may add to drying time. Also, it may affect drying evenness, between the layers, because they are not mesh. When I use a few, the top layers are done before the bottom layers, so I just remove the top two layers when they are done, then let it run with the rest of the layers.

I started out with a 5-tray, but when I made yogurt in quart mason jars, I had to tip them significantly to fit them into the dehydrator. I later purchased a 9-tray, which holds several jars without tipping.

I can fit a loaf of sunbeam white bread and thomas bagels on the top shelf. They consume the entire shelf without smashing the bread. I keep cookies, crackers, artisan bread. large loafs in the bottom.

I put the oldest on bottom and newest on top..around here they don't last long..plus cans have such a long shelf life. Hope this helps....Joyce

I don't think it's necessary of you are only using one. I have just one sitting on top of my dresser and it's never been tippy at all. But of you were going to stack them more than maybe two high it would probably be a good idea so that you don't accidentally pull the stack over when you pull out a drawer. Hope this helps!

Hi..I just use on the floor for my puppie but I don't see why u cant use them on top of sheets as they don't slide around and they absorb very well as the wash well too.

3 large bottom trays you put water in then 2 half trays each for the top for a total of 6 smaller trays (steam table pans). Make sure you put the water in the lower section before you light the warmers. Ooops! stupid human forgot the water in the first pan.

The large unit easily holds 2 Tblsps. and the small units hold 1 Tablsp. I tried. You would have to keep the container right side up tho. Hope this is helpful.

I would assume at the bottom of the bed to,hold at the corner. I prefer a hospital corner on the top sheet it hold o.k. But only use these on the bottom fitted sheet to help hold with the elastic seams

If they are not in use you may nest them together. I can't remember how far down they would go, maybe halfway. Then all the tops could be set on top. When filled, they stack neatly.

Agree with EA...definitely store them on your sheet pans...just make sure all is dry before nesting them with each with its individual Silpat in place. I have 4 pans and 4 Silpats...the only way to fly!

There is no such thing as a dumb question! To answer your intelligent and understandable question, place the paraflexx sheet on top of the mesh screen. These really are wonderful sheets to use as they serve a great purpose, which is to contain liquids and sauces while dehydrating. Enjoy!

Top or bottom. The idea is that you stuff them into the top and pull them out from the bottom. But mine is mounted on the inside of a low cabinet door. So I stuff from the top and take from the top.

I think if you folded your sheet in half like you would do for a regular clothes line, and then laid it on the rack it would be fine. I have this rack and I truly love it..! I haven't dried sheets on it, but I think you could as I stated earlier.

They do not stacked on top of each other. Bottom row fit six and then you could do a pyramid all the way up if you have the room in the refrigerator for total of 15

You can put them on the floor. I personally set a small basket there. However,this unit can sometimes shift/lean due to the amount of clothes, but I am usually adjusting the rack.
