NESCO Snackmaster Clean-A-Screens are ideal for dehydrating sticky fruits and small foods. Dry items like spices and herbs that would normally fall through the spokes of the dehydrator tray. Each removable mesh screen flexes for easy removal of sticky fruits like pineapple and is made of high-quality food grade plastic. To use, simply dry food on the rough side of the screen. To remove the food, use the finger notches on each side of the screen and flex toward the center with a curling action until the food becomes loose. If necessary, cool the screen in the refrigerator to aid in the removal of extremely dried-on food.

Questions about Nesco Snackmaster Clean dehydrator screen, One Size, White
Q:
will these fit Mr coffee dehydrator
Answer: No, they won't (these are 13 inches across), but the Presto liners I bought did. They were slightly inclined toward the middle hole, so they won't fit on the top rack with the lid. Just use the line that came with the Mr. Coffee on the top tray and use Presto (measures approximately 12.5 inches) liners in the others. Worked just fine so far. Don't use heated dry if you put them in the dishwasher.
Answer: The product states which dehydrators they fit on. I would contact Nesco directly to see if they can help you. Good Luck!
Q:
What is the diameter of the center opening? I have a different dehydrator I cannot find these for.
Answer: Based on the other answer with the diameter of the inside hole and the diameter of the screens given, this should work for my Oster. It has a 3 inch hole and an measurement from the edge of hole to the inside edge of the outer ring is 13", so 12.5 inch diameter will just leave a little space on the outside edge. I am going to give it a try.
Answer: Center hole is 3". OD of ring is 12 1/2".
Q:
Would this be the right tray for dehydrating sprouted grains, such as spelt, or would the grains fall through?
Answer: Try placing the fruit roll sheet directly onto your tray. Then place your fine gains and herbs onto it. If you see that they are blowing around and getting tiny , then I would place one of your screens over your grains so they don't fly around.
Answer: I don't know about that because I've never entertained the idea of dehydrating sprouted grains. I just looked at my Clean-A-Screen tray and I don't think they would fall through because they have puffed up a bit. I don't do any sprouting myself but am going to give it a try after the holidays. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Answer: I never thought of dehydrating sprouted grains but would probably try it on a tray instead of a screen.
Answer: I have never dehydrated grains so I am not sure if they would work on these trays.
Answer: I dry lots of herbs on their stem perfectly. You could loose items through the lattice / grates. I suggest the fruit roll up tray which I make flaxseed chips on.
Answer: These should work great for the grains!
Answer: I would think they would be fine for sprouted grains. When I've used mine for small items, my only concern was that they would fly around during the drying process. Using two screens with the items sandwiched in between does the trick for that! You might have to adjust your drying time, though! Good luck!
Answer: the screens are pretty tight but I don't know how small the grains are.
Answer: Sorry to say, but anything smaller than a popcorn seed would go thru the screen. I used it to dry popcorn that we grew and some of it fell thru.
Q:
What is the difference between a mesh screen and a fruit roll sheets
Answer: The fruit roll sheet is solid plastic and the mesh screen has small holes in it. I use the screen for diced vegetables, herbs, etc.
Answer: The fruit roll sheets do not have holes and are great for spreading fruit puree on for fruit rollups. The mesh screens have holes through which a fruit puree would seep through.
Answer: Mesh screen has holes in it and fruit roll sheets do not have holes in them
Answer: Fruit roll screen holds liquid for making fruit roll mesh screen doesn’t hold any
Answer: The screen is easier to clean the the tray is and the fruit rolls holds the liquid and helps make great fruit roll ups for the kids
Answer: I'm sorry , I can't tell you the difference , I have only used the machine to make jerky , and use neither to do so . I can say the dehydrator does do a very good job making jerky , and am very happy with it !!!
Q:
Will these fit a gourmia gfd1550?
Q:
Has anyone used this for drying soy pulp (okara)?
Answer: This is not a fine enough screen for Okara. I am returning it and ordered cheesecloth to use as a loner instead.
Answer: I have not. Sorry I cannot help answer your question.
Q:
Will this fit nesco fd-37a food dehydrator
Answer: I own a Nesco Dehydrator and purchased those screens. They fit just fine. Just make sure that you own the round dehydrator with the center vent.
Answer: According to the Product Description, it fits FD-37.
Answer: Yes, they will fit.
Q:
How do I know what Nesco model I have?
Answer: Hello,
Answer: I'm not sure where your dehydrator model number is but mine on the head on the inside. Others may be under the unit.
Answer: The model should be on the box it came in or on the instructions pamphlet. Also, regardless of the model they should all take the same style of tray and screen.
Answer: The model number for my dehydrator is imprinted under the lid of the machine. It's hard to see, but the printing is molded into the plastic on the underside of the motorized lid.
Answer: I am not sure. I thought there was only one model. They seem to fit the round dehydrators.
Q:
Are these certified as BPA free?
Answer: as far as I know, they are bpa free
Answer: Yes they are!
Q:
why is California's Proposition 65 warning shown for these screens?
Answer: Not sure, but I can guess cuz they're plastic. Probably going to be illegal soon. Good luck
Answer: No idea, I'm in Oregon and didn't get any response about this item at all.
Answer: I am not a lawyer! My understanding of California Prop 65 is this: if there are any products or material in or used in the manufacturing of a product that are known to cause cancer. That item is required to have Prop 65 warning to be able to sell in California
Q:
Will these work for dehyrdrating sprout wheat? ty
Answer: Probably, even though I hate the screens.
Q:
will they fit fd-37A ?
Answer: Yes

Q:
what is the diameter of these?
Answer: Don't know the diameter but I have the American Harvester Snackmaster Dehydrator Model FD50 and they fit great.
Answer: My screen is 12 1/2 inches. My Metric tape is buried somewhere right now (condo reconstruction) so you will need to convert it if you are on the metric system.
Answer: 12-1/4 inches exactly! Hope this helps. They're great!
Q:
I have the fd-75a, it came with just two nice silicone mesh trays, but i need more, are these the same ones? would not warp if they are...
Answer: Yes, these are the correct screens for the FD-75A.
Answer: They are better then the one that came with the machine
Answer: I bought these because of their price, knowing they would not fit my dehydrator, I simply cut them to fit:-) They work great.
Q:
do these fit the nesco fd79?
Answer: Yes, according to NESCO website these LM-2 clean a screen fit the fd79 dehydrator - they are both 13.5" diameter rounds. purchase with confidence.
Answer: Yes! These do fit the FD-79. Happy Dehydrating!
Q:
Would these work for making fruit leather?
Answer: The clean-a-screens are used for sticky fruits or small items that would fall through the holes in the trays. To make fruit leather, you would need the solid fruit roll sheet (Check the model number of your dehydrator to be sure you order the correct size)
Answer: No. These are to keep fruit from sticking. They have ones specifically to make fruit leathers. I have both types. The ones for leathers are solid.
Answer: I would say no. The fruit would drip down the small holes and be extremely difficult to get off. I bought the 6 pack of the fruit roll up sheets and they work great!
Answer: No. Your liquid foods would drip through the clean-a-screen. There are trays designed specifically for making fruit leathers.
Answer: No, they have holes. You need the solid plastic trays
Q:
Will these fit my Nesco FD-70?
Answer: Sorry, but I have a different model number. According to the item description, i would think NOT because model -70 is not listed.
Q:
Will this fit on a nutrichef? i have the 5 tray pkfd19bk
Answer: They are 12.5" in diameter with a 3" diameter hole in the middle.
Q:
What clean a screen works for nesco snack master
Answer: Good morning! Nesco makes several Snackmaster models. The screens you are looking at would work for most of the snackmaster models. If you are not sure what model you have please feel free to contact me at 800 538 1442 and I will be happy to assist you further. Thanks, Jo-Customer Service
Answer: Yes, I'm quite sure it will work for all Nesco dehydrators.
Q:
Will these fit a harvest Maid fd 50
Answer: Yes! This will fit the FD-50.
Answer: I have no clue but I personally hated these screens. Had to trim them to fit my dehydrator but I wouldn't buy them again.
Q:
Looking for sheets that will fit an Maxmatic Elite. Does anyone know if these will?
Q:
Does this fit model # FD-50?
Answer: Not sure! They are 12.5" in diameter with a 3" diameter hole in the center. I checked the Nesco site and can'tr find any reference to the FD 50. So I can't verify it will or will not fit, I think my first dehydrator was a FD 50 and I am still using the screens and trays and snack sheets.
Answer: Finally stumbled on the answer, Yes they will fit a FD-50.
Answer: mine is FD-60 so I can not answer tis question
Q:
What are the exact dimensions, please?
Q:
Hi. Do you ship international?
Q:
What are these screens made out of? Will they leech stuff if you put something acidic on them?
Answer: The screens are BPA free and food grade plastic.
Answer: Food grade plastic. Don't think you'll have any issues there. Have dried multiple fruits and veggies and haven't noticed anything that would make me wary of them.
Answer: I'm not sure of the exact material, but they're some kind of flexible plastic. Mine warped and distorted after two uses and melted to pieces after three uses, all while drying walnuts and cashews that I'd soaked in salt water.
Q:
hi i would like to know it screen fit to my nesco fd-1040 gardenmaster food dehydrator. thanks
Answer: These screens will not fit your FD-1040, but we do make Clean-A-Screens for the FD-1040. They can be found on Amazon here:
Q:
Can this item be used in the nutrichef pkfd12
Answer: I am sorry, I do not have any information on the Nutrichef product. The clean-a-screen fits the Nesco 13" trays.
Answer: Good evening and great question. These screens are 13" in diameter and I believe your machine is also 13" so these should work fine. If you want to verify you can refer to your users manual for specific tray dimensions. Thanks, Jo-Customer Serevice
Q:
Is there a small hole in the base of each book end?
Answer: Yes, there is a single hole in the base of each bookend.
Answer: Yes, there is a whole on the base.
Answer: Yes, they have a hole in each.
Q:
Will these fit a Nesco FD-39?
Answer: I am sorry to say that I do not know that answer. I have a RONCO and trimmed the trays down to fit it. I have never owned a Nesco and don't know anything about the different models.
Answer: If your unit has a temp. control the unit will need the larger screens. I could not find my model#, so I called Nesco and I was told the model 3 is stamped on the side of the motor head. Without a magnifying glass, I could not read my model #. I have been out of town or I would have gotten back to you sooner. I will add, the screens are not dishwasher safe.
Q:
Is the plastic certified as BPA free?
Answer: It does have a BPA free logo on their website, here:
Answer: I could not see it stamped on the screens, which would lead me to say not BPA free, but as suggested, call Nesco @ 8002684545
Answer: It does not say if it is BPA free. You can contact Nesco at 1-800-288-4545 and ask them.
Answer: I carefully checked the cardboard packaging that came with the screens and I do not see anywhere on them that it says PBA-free. I did put the question to the company on their website, so I'll respond again when I hear something from them. The website is www.nesco.com; number 1-800-288-4545. Hope that helps. You posed a great question...I'm looking forward to the answer.
Answer: They do say dishwasher safe, that is when the high temp. would melt off the coating (BPA) although mine screens warped in the DW.
Answer: I threw away the paper insert but I think it did have the "BPA free" advisory. I usually look for it when I buy things but I just can't remember for sure.
Answer: I don't know. Comes with scanty packaging which I've tossed. Probably need to ask the manufacturer.
Q:
does this fit the FD-77DT?
Answer: I don’t know all the models, check with the manufacturer.
Q:
Why aren’t these available BPA free?
Answer: No clue. My guess is you can't take BPA or BPS out of everything and still expect it to work.
Q:
Ordered and received solid ones want perforated. Are these perforated?
Answer: I know there are some that are solid. The ones I ordered were perforated, I would contact seller.
Answer: Yes, Fruit roll-trays are solid.
Answer: These are perforated but there are some that are solid. Make sure you read description.
Answer: Yes they are very small whole, so that when things dry they will not fall through like it would if it was on just the trays. Like, corn, green peppers, onions, etc.
Answer: Yes
Q:
Are these reusable? Also, I'm planning to use the dehydrator for making venison jerky. Will these extra screen trays be necessary?
Answer: Also, although they are not necessary for making jerky, I would still recommend them. The foods release from the screens easier than the trays themselves. I have had to 'peel' jerky off the trays, but the screens are flexible and release the foods without effort!
Answer: The Clean-A-Screen trays are definitely reusable. I've used mine many times. For making jerky, I would be more likely to use the solid fruit leather-type trays, but these would probably work fairly well.
Answer: Good morning and great question! No, these are not necessary but they do make cleaning your dehydrator trays easier if you are drying sticky items. Jo
Answer: They are reusable. I would recommend using a screen tray for jerky for even drying.
Answer: Yes, they are re-usable. I have used them probably 50 times (so far) and they are in perfect condition. Some are a bit stained from dehydrating red peppers, but perfectly good for me! I would recommend them for anyone with the appropriate dehydrator!
Answer: we dried herbs and jerky sticks and was pleased with the outcome. the are washable I thought very easy to use.
Answer: Yes they are reuseable. And i would not think you would have to use these to make jerky. Good luck
Answer: IF I even purchased these it was any years ago and as a gift, so I don’t know the answer. Sorry.
Q:
How many in order?
Answer: Two per order.
Answer: There are two
Answer: 2
Answer: 2
Answer: Mine were all in pairs.
Q:
Will this fit open country sportsman kitchen dehydrator? it says open country is made by nesco. they look the same size.
Answer: Hello,
Answer: I have Nesco dehydration system it fits perfectly
Answer: Probably. Buy it and if it doesn't fit you can always return it
Q:
hi i ordered 3 sets of 2 clean a screen tray for FD-75pr my order number is 029517123002 i got only 3 not 3 sets
Q:
Has the product been re-engineered to solve the warping issues in the last few years? Complaints seem to end around 2015.
Answer: i used these many times over while drying herbs this year and they are wonderful. no warping.
Answer: I bought mine in April and have used repeatedly with no warping issues.
Answer: My screens were bought new about 8 months ago and both warped on first use with different foods in them.
Q:
Can the dehydrator trays br sprayed with non stick spray prior to dehydrating meat, fruit or vegetables?
Answer: They don’t need to be... Once the fruit/meat has dried sufficiently, it doesn’t stick at all. Additionally, spray seems to “gum up” over time (I did this previously.)
Answer: I've never had to use anything on the trays because nothing really sticks to them! If anything sticks all you do is bend the flexible piece and it pops right off. I have dehydrated watermelon, papaya, carambola, etc and nothing has stuck enough to worry about.
Answer: Yes , I always spray my trays with “pan non stick” when making jerky ! Makes it a little messy , but makes a world of difference getting strips of ground meat off !!
Answer: I did not get to use mine as they did not fit the the racks on my dehydrator.
Answer: It is not necessary to spray the trays and not recommended since it will negatively affect shelf life of your food and eventually the spray will begin to stick to your trays. Instead of spraying non stick spray I recommend purchasing screens for your dehydrator trays. I purchased screens and absolutely love them. I use the fruit roll up screen on the very bottom to catch any juice from dehydrating. Food doesn't stick to the screens like it does directly on the trays and clean up is a lot easier. I hope that answers your question to your satisfaction.
Answer: Yes they could be, but I never found it necessary. Works quite well without spray. I just lay meat pieces on a paper towel and blot the excess moisture. Works very well trays are easy to clean.
Answer: I have sprayed trays before for other foods. No problems arose
Q:
Is this a 1 pack or 2?
Answer: Pack of two. I personally wouldn't buy them again. They warp from the heat and there are better options out there.
Answer: 2
Answer: 2 if my memory is correct
Answer: It contains two screens.
Q:
Will these fit the Snackmaster Jr. (Nesco FD-20)?
Answer: My guess is yes, but I don't have a Nesco FD-20. If you have a ruler or tape measure, we can figure this out.
Answer: Sorry, I'm not sure. However, I looked up the Snack Master and believe that they should. I personally would go for it.
Answer: I do not know. You will have to call the company.
Answer: Not sure
Answer: Sorry, I'm not sure either.
Q:
How many?? basic information conflicted/ missing! 1 or 2? wth?
Answer: Both times I ordered they were a 2 pack
Answer: I got 2
Answer: I got 2
Answer: It comes with 2 screens.
Q:
Will these fit a Ronco dehydrator?
Answer: I have the Ronco Beef Jerky Machine (12 1/4" diameter trays) and these 12 1/2" screens have a bit of give and will fit snugly in the Ronco trays. Just push it down a bit and it's a snug fit. The fit is good enough that I will purchase more for my trays.
Answer: Hi Blueangel, I don't have a Ronco dehydrator to try it on. I was thinking of purchasing Ronco but I read the reviews on Nesco they were better and it had features Ronco didn't have. Sorry I'm not able to answer your question more fully for you.
Answer: I have owned a Ronco and I think that they would.
Q:
can you use seeds on this
Answer: The Clean-A-Screen has diamond shaped holes which measure 6/16" by 1/8" so larger seeds would work well but tiny seeds would fall through the openings.
Answer: I recommend the fruit roll up screens for seeds. I use these trays mainly for drying herbs.
Answer: It would depend on how big the seeds were. If you want to dry pumpkin seeds (or any seeds about this size), yes I think it would work quite well. What type of seeds did you have in mind?
Answer: It would seem that it would be easy to dry seeds for planting, if that is your question. It has temp control but tiny seeds may be affected by the "wind" . I was always told to toast seeds for eating, however. This is just speculation based on my limited knowledge and experience, though.
Answer: Absolutely, just flick the screen and they go flying.
Answer: Yes, absolutely
Q:
One reviewer stated the trays melter...........has anyone else had that problem? Could they of left the temp. too high too long?
Answer: I usually keep one of the solid trays in the bottom of the dehydrator all the time to catch bits that may fall through the screens, so it has been in there on all different temps and for hours at a time without any problems. I just recently dried some roasted garlic on a tray at fairly high temp over several days (turned it off at night) with no problem either.
Answer: I have never had a problem with any of my trays melting. I use them at all temps and when I'm done with a tray, I wash and dry them for the next usage. Perhaps you had a defective one? I would certainly contact the company and let them know what happened.
Answer: not had this problem
Answer: I have never had this problem. It has worked perfectly every time I have used it.
Q:
Are these trays made of silicone, nylon, or teflon?
Answer: After looking everywhere, the only description I can find is "Made from a BPA Free Food Grade Plastic." Hope that helps!
Answer: it is a type of slick plastic. Polyethylene i think?
Q:
Are these good if your drying beef patties on sliced meat to make jerky ?
Answer: I've dried meats without the screens and it worked fine. The screens provide two main benefits: they are flexible which makes it easier to remove your dried product at the end. They have smaller holes than the trays which prevents smaller items from falling through.
Answer: I suppose it should be have yet to use them. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Answer: yes!
Q:
would these work for a weston dehydrator, mine is round?
Answer: while I do not have any experience with Weston dehydrators, the Nesco clean a screens are approx. 13 inches in diameter edge to edge... and the center hole is approx. 3" if these line up with the Weston unit these might work. Thank you .
Answer: I don't know about your brand, but when I bought a new dehydrator, which was a bit smaller than the old one, I just cut off the outer ring and they work fine.
Answer: It may, we do not have any information on compatibility.
Q:
Would this mesh work for bee pollen?
Answer: Probably, depends on how big the balls of pollen are. If they are big then this should be fine, but medium or small may fall through the holes. As a guide, things that are the size of bought dried oregano flakes will probably fall through, things the size of pepper flakes will probably not fall through.
Answer: I have no idea since I don't know what would be involved with bee pollen.
Answer: I purchased this as a gift and the recipient never provided any feedback to me, so, sorry, I can’t help.
Product reviews of Nesco Snackmaster Clean dehydrator screen, One Size, White
Brenda B. : feedback
works great
Momo : Highly recommend
Works very well. Made clean up a breeze. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a food dehydrator.
Cwas : Product was in fine
Did not fit the FD-75. Idk where else to find a smaller one. The ones I got were too big. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks.
Product was in fine condition
Connie Brinkmann : What dehydrators these fit?
According to the product dimensions these should have worked in my Ronco dehydrator. They curl when heated and are very hard to use. If you have the dehydrator these are designed for, they will probably work okay. Not very happy with them but the mesh type liners weren't available.
Momo : Highly recommend
Works very well. Made clean up a breeze. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a food dehydrator.
Laurie : Work great
I love that you can buy this two pack to add to the ones that come with the Nesco Dehydrator.
Brenda B. : feedback
works great
Terry : Great add to my dehydrader.
Well made and good value.
Michael : Clean-a-screens make drying small sized items easier and less time-consuming.
We liked that the Nesco LM-2 clean-a-screens actually do the job well .... meaning small nuts or seeds do not fall through the screen in drying, and they are quite easy to clean. We dried walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, all of which had been soaked 24 hours prior to drying. As summer approaches, we will dry more garden veggies than we used to. It seems these screens will make drying moist veggies a less messy project.
leenelson : Great all the way around
Have older products and these are just a great as them. They serve the purpose and do the job wonderfully. I would recommend to anyone. Not to mention you actually get to talk with a live person if you have questions.
Medic : This makes it really annoying to dehydrate foods because the parts that warp up ...
These trays really open up the variety of foods and herbs that can be dried. However, my first time using them, they warped! This makes it really annoying to dehydrate foods because the parts that warp up are not usable because the food will just roll of of them. This has happened to all my trays no matter what I had on them - filled or not. So now I have 4 warped trays that still work, just not as good.
Sara V. : Sent wrong sheets!!!!
Got sent the wrong sheet & it didn’t fit into my Nesco dehydrator.
Katie Heeder : They work great! Easy to use
They work great! Easy to use, easy to wash. I have the Nesco FD-75A Snackmaster Pro Food Dehydrator, and they're a perfect fit.
Ryan K. : Great addition to the dehydrator
The screens do not get in the way of the airflow and make it easier to dry smaller items that may fall through the standard trays. The screens clean up very easy after use and make it much easier to dehydrate a variety of items. Try small marshmallows using the screens for a treat.
Mary : They don't fit.
So disappointed. These were to order with a dehydrator that I bought. And they don't fit.
Travis P. Hatfield : Great addition to any dehydrator!
When I purchased my dehydrator it came with two of these screens and after my first use decided that I was definitely going to purchase more. They make a big difference in cleanup and keep most of your dehydrated foods from sticking to the trays. They are easy to clean and can be thrown in the dishwasher for a quick wash.
If you are going to be using your dehydrator much I definitely think that picking these up would make the process a little bit easier and would gladly recommend them to anyone.
Just for some details I have the Nesco 75-PR and the trays fit perfectly.
Kay Woodward : Nice liners for small foods to be dehydrated.
Just what I needed. I needed more liners for my trays for dehydrating foods that were small. Grand!!
SouthernTransplant : Used within hours of shipment arrival
These plastic flexible trays are absolutely the best addition to my Nesco food dehydrators.
If you are dehydrating small pieces eg. chopped vegs....these trays will keep your food from slipping thru the drying racks and ending up on the bottom of the dehydrator. The trays are food grade plastic and are flexible so that you can (carefully) pour your dried items into containers without spillage.
Now I just need to purchase several more sets.
Highly recommended!!
Momo : Highly recommend
Works very well. Made clean up a breeze. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a food dehydrator.
virginialea52 : clean a screen a must have
I purchased a food dehydrator last year and decided to see what was available to go with it. I didn't know what the clean a screen was so I just ordered a set of two. These are a must! I loved them and ordered enough to use on every tray I had. They are so great. It keeps small foods from going strait through the tray holes. Some tiny things still go through, but it is still very helpful. I process my cabbage, carrots, onions, etc. to a ground up consistency for making cabbage soup and dehydrate them so it makes it fast and easy to make the soup. These clean a screens lets the air and heat circulate around the food while it dries. They clean up sooooooooo easy. I just wash them by hand with a few wipes of the dish cloth, the small amount of food left on them comes right off. I do spray them with a small amount of cooking spray and the food doesn't stick to them.
Mary : They don't fit.
So disappointed. These were to order with a dehydrator that I bought. And they don't fit.
Kay Woodward : Nice liners for small foods to be dehydrated.
Just what I needed. I needed more liners for my trays for dehydrating foods that were small. Grand!!
scrap girl : A must if you have a dehydrator
I love my Nesco dehydrator and I use it all the time. These screens make it so easy to remove the dried food - you just bend them and the food comes off great. They are easy to clean either by hand or dishwasher top rack. I can’t imagine using my dehydrator without them.
Rebelhen : Dehydrators Best Friend
Clean-a-Screen at first glance they seem thin and flimsy; however, they proved me wrong. I have used them for a couple years now. They are sturdy. You can put in dish washer. Be aware that some things you dehydrate may discolor these screens, it does not stop them from doing their job. They hold no grudges. Product is easier to remove from the screens than from direct contact on trays, plus small items do not fall thru the holes as with the trays. Don't get me wrong you do need the trays to hold the screens.
Laurie : Work great
I love that you can buy this two pack to add to the ones that come with the Nesco Dehydrator.
Vicki A. Darnell : good purchase
very easy to use and clean
Giancarlo Croce : A "Must Have" item for your dehydrator
Clean up is simpler with these Nesco American Harvest Clean-A-Screen Trays, but hand washing them is not so simple. They are especially difficult to clean after making jerky, but they do come clean nicely if you toss them in the top rack of the dishwasher.
Don't believe that food won't stick! It will. But you will find that removing sticky items from these is much easier than removing it from the bare dehydrator racks.
So far, they seem relatively durable, and well worth the price.
Amazon Customer : Functional and practical
These work great for the small pieces of fruit/veggies. Really simple to clean and easy to remove the items when they're done.

AH : Hot water and a bottle brush cleans them really easily. Wouldn't dehydrate without them
Use for home made beef jerky as well as fruits and vegetables. Makes the process a lot easier. I use these on the top trays and one of the solid sheets on the bottom tray to catch drips. Hot water and a bottle brush cleans them really easily. Wouldn't dehydrate without them.
CaptainBlackton : Makes the dehydrator much easier to use and clean!
These make the dehydrator trays a lot easier to clean and re-use. The food peels up or pops off pretty easily once dried, and if it sticks, all you have to do is lift up this mat, and the food will pop right off by itself. I don't even clean my trays anymore until the end of the harvest season when I put the dehydrator away for the winter. Feels a little over-priced for what you get though...
Judi W : Easy to use, easy to clean!
I have a really old dehydrator and wasn't sure if these would fit or not, but they fit perfectly. I cleaned them and used them the day they arrived. I dried some banana and pineapple slices and they popped right off when I flexed the sheets. No more getting stuck on the hard plastic. Cleanup has always been the hardest thing about drying food. These will make drying anything much easier. Not sure why I waited so long to get these but sure am glad of them now.
Steve H : Problem solved!
I've had my dehydrator for about 10 years, but I only used it about twice a year, because it is so much trouble cleaning it up. That' gonna change now! These things catch 95% of the stuff that used to get stuck in the slots in the frames, reducing a 45 minute clean-up to 5 minutes. I use them flat side up, and the jerky just about slides right off!
Spike : Make Cleaning Your Dehydrator Easier
I’ve been using the Nesco FD-75PR Food Dehydrator since August 2012. These Nesco LM-2 Clean-A-Screen liners are invaluable. I dehydrate meat, peppers, herbs (basil, mint, oregano) & fruit (bananas, mangos, pineapple & lots more). The dehydrator gets used every couple of weeks.
Cleaning the grates in the unit can be a PIA. You can soak them in hot soapy water until the stuck on jerky softens, then lightly scrub off & place in the dishwasher. Even better, get these Nesco LM-2 Clean-A-Screens. These are soft plastic liners that you place on the grills of each section of the unit. The screens will keep the majority of the marinades, meat & fruit bits from sticking to the grates & are far easier to clean. They also make removing the dehydrated foods easier. Some foods tend to really stick to the plastic grates. With these, you will just peel them off the mats. When it comes to herbs, it keeps the small leaves from falling through to the bottom of the unit.
If you own a Nesco Dehydrator (FD-28JX, FD-37, FD-39, FD-60, FD-61, FD-61WHC, FD-75PR, and FD-75A) order these Nesco LM-2 Clean-A-Screens, they’re worth every penny.

Sandykayak : Good product.
This is the second set I've ordered. They're a bit too large for my dehydrator but I was able to trim the "rim" quite easily. I used them to dry peas/carrots/corn to add to Ramen soups.
Mary : They don't fit.
So disappointed. These were to order with a dehydrator that I bought. And they don't fit.
Amy Martinsen : Made in the USA
Fit my Nesco dehydrator perfectly! I also love that they are made in the USA!
Donna Schoen : works great
these work great , especially for small items, like herbs and little seeds and such. other reviews said that it melted on them with pictures. Well mine have worked fine for me. I have a nesco brand with a knob for heat settings. Not just on or off as some other ones do. And i even turned the heat up after a couple of hours and it did not melt at all. so i am not sure what happened to other people.
Bob : Makes cleanup quicker
Makes cleanup quicker and keeps small things like thyme from falling through.
L. Lavender : Not good for fruit rollups or anything with liquid.
Horrible to use with any type of liquid consistency, like Fruit Rollups, etc. Not only did the pulp leak through the grates, but it then stuck to the drying tray, which caused everything to stick. Washing my trays then became a huge chore. Worked great for Ground Meat Jerky, which I will only use for.
Amazon Customer : These work great for my dehydrator
These work great for my dehydrator. They are much easier to clean than the original trays. The food peels off these Clean-A-Screens better than the original trays as well. I don't dehydrate anything using just the original trays any more! Wonderful for small items like diced onion, garlic, peppers, or rice or beans.
Grammy05 : screen good
Fit nicely and easy to clean. Herbs stayed in place.
virginialea52 : clean a screen a must have
I purchased a food dehydrator last year and decided to see what was available to go with it. I didn't know what the clean a screen was so I just ordered a set of two. These are a must! I loved them and ordered enough to use on every tray I had. They are so great. It keeps small foods from going strait through the tray holes. Some tiny things still go through, but it is still very helpful. I process my cabbage, carrots, onions, etc. to a ground up consistency for making cabbage soup and dehydrate them so it makes it fast and easy to make the soup. These clean a screens lets the air and heat circulate around the food while it dries. They clean up sooooooooo easy. I just wash them by hand with a few wipes of the dish cloth, the small amount of food left on them comes right off. I do spray them with a small amount of cooking spray and the food doesn't stick to them.
Saundra : On my knees...
I have only used this twice so far, but my results have been mostly good.
My only complaint is that there is no power switch. When you plug it in, it immediately comes on. The only way to shut it off is to unplug it. In my tiny kitchen, this is not an easy task. To access the only available outlet, I have to get down on my hands and knees and reach down under a table. I don't think a power switch located on the unit itself would have been too difficult to add to its settings. Nesco, are you listening?
LoLo : Item fits my Open Country dehydrater perfectly
I was so pleased that this fits a different model & works perfectly. Zero issues so far. I used them to dehydrate garlic, took about 8 hours & the trays were fine, no warping.
Kindle Customer Breezy : Nesco LM-2-6 Clean-A-Screen Tray for FD-28JX/FD-37/FD-60/FD-61/FD61WHC/FD-75A & FD-75PR, Set of 2
I was not sure what or how to use these sheets. I am an amateur when it come to dehydrating foods. I read and re-read instructions before I was willing to try this. I was happy. No mess and everybody thought I made the best dried apple chips in town.
I picked up the tray as directed and simply rolled the edges inward. The apples slid right off, and there was no mess at the bottom of the dehydrator to have to scrub. I had turned canning into drying and did not have half the fuss.

MD : Good mesh, fits perfect
The same that came with my dehydrator,
Pliable, easy to get food off.
Small mesh lets air through but catches small bits.
Great for lots of little foods.
Glad I have extra of these every time I make small items
