solid sheets?

“if you don't have a solid sheet
for your dehydrator, and you want to try dehydrating something and can't get to a store to get a solid sheet, if there something you can use?
I'd like to try doing some pasta sauce but forgot a sheet. (hay remember im a gimp this weekend)
so what do you think?”

“that wax type paper! i forget what its called but it works.”

“other than that its all solid sheets from me!!!”

“does it have to be special wax paper? or the reg. kind (you know the kind martha stewart uses)”

“regular! curl the edges so that it doesnt run off thow.”

“cool, thanks prowler

martha would be proud of ya!!

can you tell im bored? all I want to do is dehydrate anything I can get my hands on!”

“Just watch out for that 'Consorting With a Known Felon' thing...


Hmmmm, I would think that the wax might melt offa there, but what the heck do I know?”

“I'd be concerned about using waxed paper, it's apt to melt. Parchment paper (the kind bakers use) is a better bet.”

“is parchment paper something you can get in any super market?”

“That's where I buy it. Not sure if a small mom & pop would carry it. I find it in the same area of waxed paper, plastic wrap, etc.

I found parchment paper can stand higher temps than waxed.

Best”

“thanks guys. Now if I can get my husband to go to the store and hope he finds it...”

“You can use cling wrap too. Make sure to allow ventilation. Four trays with cling wrap may not dehydrate before the food spoils. I do one or two solid trays at a time.”

“my wax paper never melted! da, its a dehydrater not a micro wave! I use mine just to keep from having to clean the trays! Im lazy!”

“i'd like to see about dehydrating some leftover ribs and french fries with my american dehatvestor
do i need to take the bone out first..or leave it in? Prowler..can you use your dehydrator as a microwave?”

“uhh...if your husband is going out to buy the wax paper why don't you have him buy the dehydrator ring...almost everywhere has them
target, walmart, k-mart, macy's, rich's, etc etc etc”

“oh yea...and yours didn't come with 1 plastic ring?...every one i've seen sold has come with one...you didn't happen to throw it away thinking it was packaging did ya? And what number thread is this about your dehydrator..why not keep it all on one THREAD!
*big smile*”

“it would be just as cheap to buy the little disk that fits in!”

“mine was a hand-ne-down....ok i stole it from my mother-in-law!


but it didn't come with a ring. what does that do?”

“that means i have to wash my bedding, it's so uncomfortable.”

“good point simer!”

“Mapleleaf has been torlled....”

“...and everytime I see the title of this thread I think, "As opposed to prints?"”

“the solid disk that allows you to dehydrate fruit to make roll ups, speghetti sauce to prevent spilling to the bottom etc.”

“. . . and more. The plastic sheets allow you to dehydrate stuff that would fall the spaces. I use the sheets to dehydrate pasta premavera (sp?) which includes small veggies and cheese that would fall through the cracks. Also, I have heard, but not tried that you can use the sheets to dehydrate orange juice concentrate!”

“Isn't that called tang?”

“I would have answered to this thread earlier, but looking at the title I thought it was about bedding.

Aluminum foil also works well. Lay down two sheets perpendicularly. That should cover the entire surface area. Roll up the excess around the edges (so it looks like pizza crust). That's been working good for me.”

“Opie, if my threads bother you then please don't respond.

It was an honest question and I was looking for an honest answer. If you don't have one then thats ok. I don't want to be lied to.

as for a plastic ring? I didn't see one so im thinking I didn't get one. So I need to get in touch with the company. thansk for the advice!
Ps how was your weekend?

"smiles"”

“artex said perpendicularly.......



wow opie, she bit yer head clean off!”

“No I did not

please don't get me into trouble
I get myself into enough trouble

JOKE HHAA LOL

peace baby”
