Silicone Dehydrator Sheets with Edge

Purchased 6 for my Excalibur 9 tray dehydrator, came back a few days later a bought the 3 pack, so I’d have enough to use all my trays at once. Wish they sold them in a pack of 9. I’ve used them for dehydrating pureed dog food, tomatoes and onions and herbs. Tomato did great and was super easy to clean up. I used a baking scraper every few hours and scraped off the skins and then repositioned them on the tray. I definitely recommend using a baking scraper. They fit the 14x14 Excalibur trays perfectly, as many other reviews have stated. They get a tiny bit warm at 135 and above after 12+ hours, but that’s to be expected. No issues with staining, ripping or tearing. I didn’t find these to smell weird, rinsed with hot soapy water and used immediately after arrival. Herbs were a pain to remove from the silicone tray, they sticking terribly to the trays, making removal frustrating & tedious. I use a paint brush when transferring my dried herbs to get up the last little powdered pieces, particularly when powdering them and transferring them from the tray to the coffee grinder and into mason jars. I’ve never had herbs stick so badly, but so far this is the only negative of these silicone trays. I am looking forward to trying eggs and beef stock next. They really do contain the liquids well, but keep in mind that you need the dehydrators tray under these mats because these mats are flexible and thin, they Fold in half as soon as you pick them up. I keep them on the tray when moving and place them on a cutting board when scraping, positioning or layering my food onto them.

This makes fruit roll-ups WAY easier and faster to peel off the tray! It helps to get a more even batch and no more messing with Saran Wrap. A real time saver!

These were exactly what I was looking for to dehydrate eggs. I use them in my Excalibur Dehydrator with my 14x14 inch trays beneath them. As expected these are super soft and flexible so I left the small grid sheets in place along with the dehydrator support trays for added stability and they work perfectly. I read some reviews that complain about the edge not being high enough, it is roughly 1/4" and if it were any higher I don't think there would be enough airflow between the racks to efficiently do the job. As it is I felt that the fit at the top rack was a little too close so I don't use a tray in that position when using the silicone trays. I also noted reviews mentioning that some areas pooled so that there were thicker areas of egg that took longer to dry and I did have this happen to some degree the first time, but in doing some research I found that this is usually due to the dehydrator not being perfectly level. I checked mine and it wasn't so I used cardboard under the dehydrator to adjust until it was and the next batch came out even. My chickens lay fairly large eggs and I found that each sheet held 6 beaten eggs with room to spare, but I wouldn't want to add more as it would increase drying time and I didn't want to risk making a mess in the dehydrator. The easiest way to fill was to pull the whole tray asembly most of the way out and pour onto the sheet at the dehydrator rather than try to carry liquid filled trays to the dehydrator. Removal of the eggs was extremely easy and cleanup is easier still.

I absolutely love these silicone dehydrator mats! Mess free and so easy to use! Perfect for fruit leather making. Good fit for Excalibur.

I use in my Excalibur dehydrator. They have held up well.

I am real happy with these sheets. My jerky and cinnamon apples came right off. Might need to order more. You just need a deep sink to wash these though.

I use these at least once a week to dehydrate different purées. The dried food comes off easily when done and they are super easy to clean.

I've used these several times to make fruit leather and they work well but these are so 'floppy' that they must be placed on a tray to keep them flat and prevent spilling of the fruit mash. The dehydrator shelves work well for this. The other 'skills' needing practice are keeping the tray level so that the mash doesn't run over the side of the 1/4" high side wall, and then re-leveling the mash to be an even thickness. Uneven mash is probably the biggest challenge to a successful batch. If the mash thickness is even, the leather dries consistently and easily peels off the silicone. If the mash is uneven, then the thin areas will dehydrate much quicker than the thicker areas and then become quite 'crispy' if left in the tray until the thick areas are dehydrated enough. I found it best to cut off sections of the dried thinner mash while the thicker mash continued. The trays are easy to clean and I store them in the dehydrator between runs to help prevent them getting damaged.

These trays made a great addition to our dehydrator. Good quality finish and perfect for making fruit leathers. Bought along with the pack of six, leaving us one tray short of filling our machine.

These Aulock 6 Pcs Silicone Food Dehydrator Sheets with Edge are excellent and worked exactly as hoped. The silicone material feels durable, flexible, and easy to place inside the dehydrator trays. The raised edge is a great feature because it helps keep smaller foods, fruit leather, sauces, herbs, and sticky items from spreading or dripping over the sides. Cleanup is very easy compared to using plain trays or parchment paper. Food releases well, and the sheets can be washed and reused, which makes them convenient and cost-effective. Having six sheets in the set is also a big plus, especially when dehydrating larger batches. Overall, these are a great addition for anyone who uses a food dehydrator. They are practical, reusable, easy to clean, and the edge design makes them even more useful. I would definitely recommend them.

the edges on these ones are flimsy and do not hold liquad well, you cannot smoothe down sheet edges just flop. Other brands we use are much better

Ideal for liquids and wet, sloppy stuff going into the Excalibur dehydrator!! Fit is perfect, the little walls around the edges ensure your wet stuff doesn't dribble out. I am very happy to have found these trays!!

Exactly what I wanted. Used them in our dehydrator immediately and they worked great, cleaned up well.
