Questions about Nesco LT-2SG Set of 2 Add-A-Tray for FD-61/FD-61WHC/FD-75A and FD-75PR Dehydrators, Gray
Q:
Will these fit a FD 60?
Answer: Yes! I just bought a half dozen for my FD-60 and the main difference is that these are speckled grey, hence the LT-2SG in the name. You can get them in white, model LT-2W, but they cost over twice as much
Answer: They will fit into a FD-60 but they are not compatible with the trays that came with the original unit.
Answer: YES, they DO fit. The design is a little different, but they do fit. I ordered them after another customer posted the note that was placed inside the box which stated that they do fit the FD 60.
Answer: No. There is a 1/2 inch difference in size.
Q:
Is it 110v or 220/240 voltage?
Answer: The one offered on Amazon is 110v. That is normal current for the USA.
Answer: The dehydrator itself is 110v
Answer: It's neither - it's not electric, but an add-a-tray accessory for the Nesco FD-61 Dehydrator.
Answer: 110 v
Answer: 110
Q:
Will these trays fit the "old" Gardenmaster where the trays are 13" diameter and 1" high?
Answer: Tray dimensions are: ID - 12 3/4"; OD - 13 3/8"; H - 1 1/8". Fits Nesco American Harvest Models FD-61, FD-61 WHC, FD-75 PR.
Q:
Do these fit the FD-79, and what number is the bottom rack, which is flared!!
Answer: You will need LT-2GP trays for the FD-79 And if you are referring to the bottom base you would have to call our customer service department to place an order. 1-800-288-4545 8:00am-4:00pm Central time, Monday-Friday. Thank you
Q:
would this work in a cosori co165-fd dehydrator?
Answer: No. Too big
Q:
Will this fit the FD-62 model?
Answer: Yes, According to the paper work that came with my trays they will fit "new and older versions of the FD-40, 50, 60 and 70 series dehydrators."
Answer: I would like to help you, but I do not know the answer. My dehydrator is a FD-61.
Answer: Fits NESCO 60 and 70 Series Dehydrators
Answer: They sure will!
Answer: Yes
Q:
What is the difference between the four Nesco food dehydrator models?
Answer: Thank you for your question. Some of the models have a set temperature, others have adjustable temperatures. This is important based on the type of food you wish to dehydrate (herbs would be lower temperature than meat for example). Some of the units have a 13 1/2" diameter tray while others are larger and have a 15 1/2" diameter tray. Some also allow for a larger number of trays as well. If you would like more information, please call our customer service at 800-288-4545.
Answer: While these trays fit a Nesco American Harvest FD60
Q:
Will they fit an american harvester snackmaster fd 50/30 ?
Answer: It fits my American Harvester F050/30 very nicely
Answer: Yes it fits very nicely. I bought 3 additional sets and i am glad that I did. It fits my another dehydrator too.
Answer: Ok, in/above the description you can ask a question. I believe they sent me to a compatibilty page. Good luck.
Q:
What is the wattage
Q:
How do I start a return?
Q:
This is 6 trays, correct?
Answer: Also each box I order of these new trays only came with 2 trays.. so I got a total 2 boxes, 4 extra..
Answer: This is only 2 trays. When added to the original trays that came with the device, you will have 6 trays total.
Answer: The box contains two trays. They are identical to the drier trays that come with the food drier.
Answer: I only received two trays as well. Did you ever get the other four trays?
Answer: No mine came with 5, then I ordered 4 more..
Answer: Only three.
Q:
Will these work in my fd-1022sk dehydrator???
Answer: I do not think that they will, but I am not sure. Contact the company directly to find out.
Q:
My sliced carrots or onions fall through towards the end of dehydrating. Is there a different tray for smaller foods?
Answer: Yes! We do offer what we call a clean a screen. The model number for that part is LM-2.
Q:
Which add on trays fit the fd 78sk?
Answer: It would be best if you called Nesco' customer service. 1-800-288-4545. They are very helpful with answering your questions.
Answer: Sorry but I cannot answer your question. Suggest contacting Nebsco directly who should be able to help you.
Q:
Tray slope pointing up? Or down?
Answer: not sure what slope you might mean but center ring comes up about a 1/4 of an inch . And I face mine up so less falls into the bottom as I fill the tray
Answer: up
Answer: up works best
Q:
Will they fit a 2001 nesco american harvest snackmaster?
Answer: Don't know,but contact Nesco. They listed which trays fit, what models in the item description.
Answer: I think so... They seem to be the same size as my old American Harvest one.
Answer: Hello. We're inclined to say these will work, but there's an easy way to know for sure. The diameter of these trays is 13.5 inches. If your dehydrator trays are the same diameter, then these should work for you, as they are all built to work together.
Answer: I believe they are all the same
Q:
Can these dehydrating trays be used in the microwave?
Answer: We do not recommend using them in the microwave as they are built for the less concentrated heat of the dehydrator rather than the microwave.
Answer: Nowhere on the item does it say it is microwave safe, so I would not recommend. The trays are very thin plastic that work extremely well for dehydrating.
Answer: No they can't go in the microwave.
Answer: I don't know. I have not tried to use them in the microwave.
Answer: They are plastic, so I don't see why not.
Answer: Yes
Q:
Will a nesco snackmaster add a tray fit a snachmaster 2200?
Q:
Will they fit the AH 2200?
Answer: My box shows the number 2200 in the corner.
Answer: I'm sorry but I am unable to answer your question as I am unfamiliar with the AH 2200.
Answer: Im not sure. I have a FD 75 and it works.
Answer: I can not locate this model by Nesco. I’ve searched everywhere...sorry.
Answer: Yes they would!
Q:
Will these fit my FD 50/30 Nesco dehydrator?
Answer: These trays will fit your FD-50/30 unit. They are gray speckled in color.
Q:
Will this fit Nesco FD-37?
Answer: I have the FD61. My trays are 13.5” x1 1/8”
Answer: Thank you for your question. The add-a-trays for the NESCO FD-37 are item number WT-2SG.
Q:
Really take 1-2 months to deliver? All other trays normal shipping.
Answer: Got everything in about a week
Q:
Can I dehydrate blueberries or will thy fall through the holes?
Answer: Nesco Clean-A-Screens are round mesh screens that go on top of your dehydrator trays. The screens have smaller holes than the trays to prevent small items from falling through. These are also great for sticky foods. The item number depends on the model of dehydrator you have. The clean-a-screens for the FD-61/75 models is item number LM-2.
Answer: They will probably be ok except for the smallest of blueberries. But ever since I started using the Nesco LM-2 clean-a-screan I use those for everything. Nothing falls through, once things cool a bit just lift and twist the screen and most everything releases. Easy cleanup. Have six racks and six screens that we use together for all the fruit we do
Answer: My blueberries wouldn't fall through. I think it's safe to say you can dehydrate them without your concern.
Answer: yes, you can dehydrate blueberries on these trays
Q:
american harvest model FD 50/30 how many can I stack
Answer: I’ve stacked 13 but ideal is 5-7. I now use a 9-rack rear fan. I have a Gourmia and down Chefman. The Nesco is great for a hobby but not for a hundred pounds.
Answer: I found the machine works well up to 9 total. I bought 6 more so I have 11 with the original 5. After 8 or 9 it is too tall for the drying heat to reach all. Or it will take double the drying time.
Answer: I've done the 8 that I own before. The only thing I do is rotate the top 2 to the bottom every 2-3 hours. So things dry more evenly
Answer: You can use up to 12 trays on this machine!
Q:
Will this fit an fd-20?
Answer: Yes, the trays will fit that model dehydrator. They will be a different color.
Answer: They’re trash and don’t fit well on anything. Except the trash. Better to look for one at a yard sale and expand it that way. These are not like the originals
Answer: Check the NESCO Website. They have a listing for compatible dehydrators & models.
Q:
Are the lt-2sg add-a-tray for fd-75pr dehydrator dishwasher safe?
Answer: We recommend that you hand-wash the trays, however, they are dishwasher safe as long as you remove them before the dry cycle as that can get so hot it melts the trays.
Answer: I hand wash mine, but if you choose to use the dishwasher, I would place them on the top rack for fear of the thinner plastic melting. Hand washing the trays are easy and air dry quickly.
Answer: I never did read wheather they are dish washer safe but I would not try it. The dish washer would get too hot for the plastic tray and most likley damage it. I have a deep well sink in my garage. I let the trays soak over night in soap and bleach
Answer: The box said it was. I have not washed these specifics trays but the originals i have washed several times without issue. These appear to be made from the same material and i would not expect an issue.
Answer: Would not recommend it. They get really pliable with the jerky setting. I put mine in water to soak over night and then hand wash in hot soapy water. Seems to do the best job of cleaning. No problems as of yet.
Q:
Are these trays dishwasher friendly?
Answer: Top rack only. They melt and warp when placed in the bottom of the dishwasher. You can also air dry with will help.
Answer: Nesco says you can put in dishwasher on top rack, i have done it and they are fine, however you can only fit 2 at a time unless you have an industrial size dishwasher. I find it is easier to wash by hand and hose off outside on our patio table.
Answer: I have never put my in the dishwasher. I don't think I would. If you push on them hard they will break. I soak mine in Dawns and then use a soft brush to clean them.
Answer: You can wash them in the dishwasher, but need to remove them before the drying cycle or you risk warping them.
Answer: If you make sure that any moving parts in the dishwasher make no contact with the grate and if the heated dry is off and nothing else in the dishwasher is able to strike the grate such as utensils, then YES.
Answer: Yes, I only wash them on a light wash though.
Q:
Will these fit the FD-1040?
Answer: In the product description it should state which models these fit.
Answer: Yes it worked with my dehydrator very well.
Q:
Will these fit an FD-62?
Answer: It should fit with no problems. You will find that the tray has changed a little if you have an older version as I do, but I believe it to be an improvement. They only removed the little center piece that moved air in a more downward motion. I found that if I use my newer version trays on the bottom they dry as fast as the upper four trays. I will certainly be adding more before next garden season.
Answer: Pretty sure they will. I have found that most will fit together.
Q:
will these work with presto electric dehydrator?
Answer: I am sorry, I do not have any information regarding the Presto Dehydrator or the dimensions of the trays needed.
Answer: I bought mine specifically for a Nesco dehydrator. I am not familiar with the Presto unit.
Answer: Sorry, I have no experience with the presto electric dehydrator. I really don't know.
Answer: I can’t be sure. Nesco is the only dehydrator like this tha I own. Sorry
Q:
i have the fd-37 and there are two clips that fasten to the top lid and bottom tray. won't they be too short if i add the trays?
Answer: I got the one that was advertised for my model and even though they were not exactly the same, they worked and fit perfectly.
Answer: I got it as a gift so I'm not sure, sorry!
Q:
Will this fit Nesco FD-37?
Answer: I have the FD61. My trays are 13.5” x1 1/8”
Answer: Thank you for your question. The add-a-trays for the NESCO FD-37 are item number WT-2SG.
Q:
Do these fit the ronco model 187-04 dehydrator?
Answer: These trays are only approved to use with the great Nesco FD-75A, or FD-75PR. We cannot guarantee they will fit any other brands. It sounds like it's time for you to upgrade to a Nesco!
Answer: Sorry I own a Nesco dehydrator.
Q:
Will these fit a Nesco FD-37
Answer: I don't think these fit in FD-37. There is another item that may fit. Try http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003I4F7DK/
Answer: I don't have that size so I don't know.
Q:
will it fit the FD-77DT?
Answer: This is a replacement for the FD77GT. There may be a size difference. This is model is 13", the DT model is 13 1/2". I would recommend contacting Nesco to ensure it will fit properly.
Answer: Yes, per information on Nesco website: Add-A-Tray FD-61, 75PR, 77DT, Set of 2 Speckled, 13-1/2''
Answer: Yes it's fits perfectly, made differently than the original trays.
Answer: Pretty sure it will!
Q:
will these fit a pkfd12 food dehdrator?
Q:
I need taller trays for bigger pieces I need to dry. If I cut off the mesh like parts of these trays, will the dehydrator still work?
Answer: So you're thinking of buying these extra trays, cutting out the mesh innards, and using them basically just as spacers? If so, yes. It will still dehydrate.
Answer: never tried that way before, but it should be, just slower due to the size of the pieces... functionally speaking, the dehydrator will still work normally
Answer: I think that it would work fine. As long as the trays you alter still fit with the trays which are above and below them, the warm air will continue to flow. FG
Answer: Yes it'll work but drying large pices like that are very time consuming and may not dry the centers completely
Answer: You can also buy the convert-a-tray kit which will accomplish the same thing (added height), but will allow them to also be used as regular trays with the mesh put back in them. The part number for these is CT2SGP. I believe they can be purchased directly from the Nesco website, if not here on Amazon.
Answer: I don't see why it wouldn't. The heat source is a separate piece.
Q:
Are these trays EXACTLY like the trays that come with my Nesco FD-75A? I see reviews that they are different and not as good. Thanks for the help.
Answer: I think the question is do they have the raised center hub (kind of a collar an inch high) with the slots in it? There are some of they trays that come without that and are kind of floppy in the middle. The FD-75A comes with the weak, cheapo trays.
Answer: For me, it's exactly the same. Color, texture, build, etc. All the same. I purchased my dehydrator almost 2 months ago. Maybe those who purchased their dehydrator a long time ago have current style trays.
Answer: I really can't tell you that. I do not have that model, like I said, my dehydrator is from 1993. I really don't know how someone could say they aren't good. All you do it lay food on them to dry. They worked fine for me, and my trial run with them was jerky. I even used ground meat and didn't have any trouble with it sticking or falling through the slats.
Answer: As far as I know they are!! I don't notice any difference between them and the ones that came with the dehydrator!
Answer: Slightly but I haven't had any trouble
Q:
where can I find the convert-a-tray for the FD-61?
Answer: Nesco LT-2SG Add-A-Tray for FD-61/FD-61WHC/FD-75A and FD-75PR Dehydrators, Set of 2
Answer: The part number for the convert-a-tray kit for the FD-61, 75A, 75PR, and 77DT Nesco dehydrators is CT-2SGP. If you can't find them here on Amazon, I'm pretty sure they can be ordered elsewhere or on the Nesco website.
Q:
How many trays can be stacked at one time?
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: This is from the manufactures website for the FD75-PR which is the correct model number of this unit.
Answer: The box actually shows 12 in use. I’d agree with Kevin. However, I’d check temperature at the bottom to ensure 160 degrees as well as swap trays half way for even drying. Temperature is important to kill bacteria and swapping for even airflow and drying time.
Answer: 10 trays.
Q:
i just bought my Nesco dehydrator also ordered 2 trays. Do the screens come with trays?
Answer: Screens came with the dehydrator. But when I ordered more trays, I just got trays. (Which was what I wanted.)
Answer: The screens are built-in, just like the regular trays that come with dehydrator
Answer: No screens come with these extra trays, it is just the trays.
Answer: The screen comes with the dehydrator. A screen and a solid for fruit leathers. I love my machine!
Answer: I am going to say yes. They are a one-piece unit, just like the trays that came with your dehydrator.
I'm planning to purchase four more trays. Will I need to rotate trays now (heat element at the top...more trays cause less heat transference)?
Answer: I rotate my trays. If I can dehydrate something in 10-12 hours versus 18-24 to save energy costs, then I will rotate trays. The way the trays set traps the heat somewhat so it is not necessary. The unit does put out heat into the room so my thought on rotating is it will enable quicker drying and eliminate the heat output into the room.
Answer: I have 7 trays and I always rotate them whether I use them all or only 2. After about 30 minutes of drying time, I take the bottom tray and move it to the top. I do turn the heat up some, when using all the trays. If you are drying fruit and vegetables, if you take too long to dry them, they will mildew. (they will in the south) I dry a lot of herbs fresh from my garden and they always turn out very good. I always try to fill all the trays to save on electricity.
Answer: Nope! I have 11 trays, and have never had to rotate. I live in HI and the relative humidity never drops below 60 %.
Q:
Will these fit the Nesco Jerky express? Thanks
Answer: If you have the Jerky Express with the red top, no these will not fit. You will need WT-2
Answer: I have a Nesco press as well and I use these trays in my Nesco dehydrator. I line the trays in the beginning drying time, to prevent any mess or dripping, and when set, I remove paper and put directly on trays.
Answer: Yes i bought 2 and they work great
Q:
Why are these trays priced at 76.85 when others new are here for 10.99. Please tell me what I am missing so I don't buy the wrong thing?
Answer: 2 months ago I bought 2 extra trays for $13 and 2 clean-a- screen for $6. This was through amazon services
Q:
work on a Ronco round dehydrator?
Answer: I don't think so, probably too big.
Answer: Not sure
Answer: Sure does
Q:
Can these trays be used in an oven?
Answer: I wouldn't try it...they are plastic trays intended for use with a nesco food dehydrator.
Answer: Absolutely not. They are made of some type of durable plastic fine for dehydration but not for the oven.
Answer: i'm not sure...i only use them in the dehydrator and it's highest temp is 160
Answer: That's not what they're made for, and I'm sure the manufacturer would say NO!! I wouldn't hesitate to do it though, as long as you keep the temperature 190 or below.
Answer: Absolutely Not There made out of Plastic!
Answer: No, they are plastic.
Q:
What are the dimensions of this item?
Q:
I've got a fd20, yes its a zillian years old but it still work perfectly....the trays are 13.5 inches acrosss and 1 1/4 deep. Will these trats fit?
Answer: The current info that comes with these trays does not list the FD-20 series as compatible. Please call NESCO customer service at 1-800-288-4545. They will be able to answer your question authoritatively.
Answer: For the FD-20 you will need LT-2TV, they are white trays now not clear but they do fit correctly. Thanks for asking!
Answer: Sorry but I cannot answer your question with confidence. I know these trays fit my Nesco.
Product reviews of Nesco LT-2SG Set of 2 Add-A-Tray for FD-61/FD-61WHC/FD-75A and FD-75PR Dehydrators, Gray
Tammy Peterson : Great product!
I've had this dehydrator for over a year and I LOVE IT!!! It does everything I need it for, however, I have just started eating more RAW foods and need it for warming foods, but I find I need "spacer trays" to raise the top so I can get deeper plates of food in the dehydrator. I might just have to "gut" a couple of my trays to achieve this since I'm not finding trays without the middle. I bought it mainly for making beef jerky, but have made apples and other fruits and veggies with it. I like that the heat is on the top and rotates thru a large stack of trays very consistently.
Kent Kellersberger : good but could be improved
Product works good in dryer but would be better if there was a lip of some kind around the center hole in the tray similar to the original tray. That would help prevent spillage into the center bottom fan.
Glim : The trays I received lack the middle support. Corn falls thru hole in middle.
The redesign is a flop for these trays. I order 2 so I could use 9 trays. The problem with this design flaw is the original trays had a support in the middle that had a 1/2 inch border to keep food from falling down the hole. They would work for jerky but if you are dehydrating small vegetables like corn...any movement in the tray and the corn goes straight to the bottom of all the trays. Not happy but will have to dedicate these to only potato slices
mariah thomas : would buy again!
Needed a little more room for meat so I bought these trays! Almost exactly like the ones that came with my dehydrator. They work good and are easy to clean.
David P. Houle : Substandard.
These trays are nothing like the originals to save a few cents. riser in middle is gone, tray surface is angled so stuff runs to the outside don’t fit well to the older trays. It’s stupid. Not aftermarket. Same mfgr. I’ll end up buying a new dehydrator and it won’t be Nesco. They only screw themself with greed. These aren’t with it if they were free. Sad
Stephen F Hurst : Quality accessory
The number of trays supplied with the dehydrator were insufficient. Inexpensive way to expand
Sherryl york : Replacement trays
I already had the dehydrator but needed more trays for making apple chips. They added to my old machine perfect. I spray them w cooking oil first and they are very easy to clean!
Shannon Martin : Fits FD-50
After reading negative reviews, I was pleasantly surprised to receive these in perfect condition in a sealed box. The quality is not the same, but they fit my 20 yr old FD-50 and will work perfectly fine for my needs. They do bow upwards due to the lack of center stem, but this will not impede the drying since the majority of produce lies flat. I still have my old trays for items that must lie perfectly flat. I would recommend these for anyone who still has the FD-50.
Shawn Davlin : Works great
Wife uses these for dehydration of food. Is very pleased with the trays. They work well.
Kate Douglas : Perfect for the job
I have a dehydrator and don't really have room to put a second one, so adding a couple of trays makes a huge difference in the amount of fruit I can dry. My fuyu persimmons were all ripe at once, at least the ones the bears and foxes didn't eat, and I was able to get them dehydrated before any of them went bad. We have a small orchard in the foothills, and I did apples, pears, and the fuyu persimmons. The extra trays made it go so much faster. They fit perfectly, and though it says not to put them in the dishwasher, they do fine on the top level without using the dry setting. I never use it anyway as everything dries just fine without wasting the electricity.
leenelson : Just what I needed
I have these already and they are great with my food dehydrator. I found them a bit difficult to clean because of the size in the dishwasher so I use parchment paper with or without the mesh screens on top of the racks then soak them in a tub (like they use for horses, with the rope handles which I was able to find on Amazon) of soapy water for a bit with great results. I highly recommend them.
Cally : Fits super old Snackmasters.
A few weeks ago I was gifted an early 1990's Snackmaster food dehydrator from a friend. It's basically brand new aside from being almost as old as I am. Even though the model of my dehydrator wasn't listed as being compatible with these trays, I took a chance on them. They are a different style, but the same size. I can place them UNDER my old trays and they fit perfect! Quality of the plastic seems to be comparable to the early 90's ones that came with my dehydrator.
John P. : Extra trays
Purchased these trays to expand the capabilities of my nesco dehydrator. They fit as they should and work very well. They came in protective padding and were adequately boxed for delivery. I would recommend these to anyone who is looking to expand their nesco dehydrator.
Cortney : They Shipped me a visibly damaged product
These trays would be working great. I ordered 3 sets (6trays total) they came in boxes of 2 inside a larger box. The shipping box was completely Undamaged. Not so much as a scuff. Inside 1 of the 3 boxes was ripped open. Upon removing the trays from the damaged box I found that the tray it’s self was damaged. Due to the fact that the shipping box was undamaged that means they were shipped from the warehouse in the condition I received them. Hopefully they will make it right. Other than the damaged trays they fit great and work well. I made fruit roll ups today and just started a batch of jerky.
Amazon Customer : Fun Hobby
Dehydrating herbs, meats and fruits is a nice healthy hobby and great use of excess garden produce.
eridon2002 : Fits FD50/30 models
Fits American Harvest FD50/30, while not as good as the original trays these ones will work. I cut out the spokes to create enough height for fitting small jelly mason jars to make black garlic.
Jax D : Soak to clean
We make a lot of jerky and these have worked great! I hate cleaning the trays though. I have to soak them over night and they take a lot of scrubbing to clean the grates. I love the jerky though!
Jessica : Expand your Nesco's dehydrating capacity!
Bought 2 packs (4 trays) of these to add on to my FD-75 700 watt unit. They fit perfectly and dry flawlessly. I've so far dried elk jerky, apples, and pears. They have a slightly darker mottled color to them than the originals. But the color is close enough you can't tell unless you really inspect. They redesigned these recently and the middle air hole has a solid plastic ring (the older design has separations in the ring). I personally find the new design easier to clean but they work all the same for me. I will be buying more!
JoArDar : Not a good replacement, it barely passes.
The plastic is warped and flimsy. The attached pictures show a close-up of the tray. The other picture shows the flimsy new tray on the left and a tray I bought a few years ago. Its embarassing that this is what made in the USA has come to. I pray that these are not being exported to other countries.
KDA : Convenient way to add more drying space.
Great to have the ability to add extra trays, but here's a tip: if you go to the Nesco site you can buy trays with removable middle sections. This allows you to dehydrate thicker items, or if you stack enough of them you could use the unit to raise bread dough.
I do find that adding more trays increases the drying time, and I get better results if I rotate the trays. Still, it's worth it to have a few extra.
Amazon Customer : Cheaply made but they fit fine.
Very cheap quality. First time I used them they warped and a couple of the tray vent pieces broke. I've bought trays in the store that are quality like my original 18 year old trays, but these are definitely made much cheaper.
Brian M. : NESCO dehydrqtor "Add-a-Tray"
The order went smoothly and the trays arrived in a timely manner. There were no surprises, except that I received two trays that were slightly different color than the other two that I ordered and all of the previous trays I have purchased from Nesco American Harvest for both my FD-60 and new FD-61 dehydrators. Both dehydrators come with only 4 trays, but can handle up to 8 trays at a time without needing to rotate the trays for even dehydration. So, I purchased 2 sets of 2 trays each to fill up the new dehydrator to capacity. The trays worked just as expected.
JWalker : Tray Area Badly Warped
I ordered a pair of these trays to increase the drying capacity of my Nesco FD-61. The two trays that arrived both had serious warps in the flat food area, with a bulge up on one side and dip down on the other. Would probably have worked for jerky, but i do a lot of foods with sauce like pizza sauce, chili, stew, etc, which would run and pool on these. I submitted a return request and Amazon told me to keep those two and sent two more. Of the second pair, one was as bad as the first two and the other still lumpy. I returned all 4. I was disappointed to see "Made in America" on these given the poor quality.
Kindle Addict : Only 50% happy
I ordered two boxes of these trays and was so happy when I opened the first box to find the old design, opened the second box and lost my smile when I found the new design. Not sure what Nesco was thinking when they redesigned these but I hate them. It use to be so easy and fast to dump a bag of veggies like corn or peas on, spread them out and off you go, not now, now you pour them on and watch them roll down the center hole grrrr. It also use to be so fast and easy to take the tray of dried food and tilt it on its side and just brush the food off into a bowl, not now, now it rolls out the hole and all over the counter top before it gets to the bowl. The center raised piece that use to make these trays really sturdy is now gone and what we are left with is a tray that warps upward as soon as they get hot. Give me the good old days when a company made things and didn't mess them up by trying to make them cheaper.
Farm-girl : Recommend
I have the older model Nesco and these fit perfectly. I’d buy a newer model but mine is still working wonderfully after 20 years.
Gray Surfer : Better than original
I have had an American Harvester dehydrator for almost twenty years and have love it. With 25 fruit trees in my orchard, fall means lots of canning and dehydrating. I needed more trays, though, so as to do more per session. These are a perfect fit, and the finish makes is far easier to remove fruit and jerky, as well as clean, than the originals. Will be purchasing more.
Mark Twain : Nesco trays
There's no support in the middle compared to the older trays I have, but they worked just fine.
PamB : Very poorly manufactured
These fit my old American Harvest just fine. The issue is with the drying areas of the trays. They are wavy beyond belief. The inconsistencies seem to center around what appear to be gates in the center ring of the trays (gates are where plastic flows into the tool). The only other thing I can guess is that they sat for way too long in an overly hot container and partially melted. I'm going to hit them with a heat gun and see if they'll go back to their intended form. They'll work for drying herbs and stuff, they're just all wonky.
Valerie : Sturdy
I had to return because l bought the wrong size but the trays are well made
Shawn Davlin : Works great
Wife uses these for dehydration of food. Is very pleased with the trays. They work well.
Josh : DO NOT BUY... So cheap they look like knock offs!
Nesco definitely downgraded their quality on these from the original and dropped the ball.on the new design. They are made extremely cheap and 7 of the 8 I bought are warped. 2 are so deformed that they touch each other!
Highly disappointed in this product from Nesco and the lack of quality control. Maybe these were all inspected on a Friday at 4:45pm but to ship to sell these is unacceptable.
JimTexK : Nesco American Harvest LT-2SG Add-A-Tray
These trays match my model FD-61 perfectly! At first I thought maybe I made a mistake in ordering these trays and that I would never need them. Wrong!! I found out real quick that the FD-61 will handle the extra trays and you will need them as soon as you find out all the things you can do with the FD-61. I dry fruits, vegetables and make beef jerky (including some made from lean ground beef with a jerky-gun). Originally, I bought the FD-61 to make chicken jerky treats for our dog because the Chinese-made chicken jerky treats we were giving him, were making him itchy and he was butt-scooting all the time. With the chicken jerky treats we make with the FD-61, he no long itches or butt-scoots. And, the treats are so easy to make with cheap frozen chicken breasts from Wal Mart and this dehydrator. I know I kind of got off subject here but you will not regret getting these extra trays as they fit and work perfectly with the FD-61 as well as some other models of Nesco dehydrators. You will find you need them and they are worth buying, trust me.
Elizabeth Davis : works like a charm
I use this product to dry fruits, vegetables and herbs and spices. This dehydrator does a great job of drying the items I have dried so far. The only drawback is the fact that there is no on/off switch. In order to start or stop the process, I have to plug or unplug the machine.
R. VanCamp : Not as sturdy
They seem to be a cheapo version of the original Nesco trays. They are lighter weight, not as easy to seat on top of each other, and worst of all there is no raised lip around the middle circle so your small foods fall through to the bottom. However, they do work and I use them.
D. N. : Can't have enough trays
Even if you don't use all the trays at the same time, you will find if you do a lot of food prep for drying, you can never have enough trays.
This grouping brings my count up to 20 of them and I'll be adding more when I get the third dryer.
I do tremendous amounts of drying and these dryer systems and the trays make my life SO MUCH EASIER!
Stock up on them, as you can also use them for other things as well. Like if you have delicate sweaters that you need to dry, put out a few trays and lay you sweater on them to let the air circulate. So many uses and possibilities.

Kate Douglas : Perfect for the job
I have a dehydrator and don't really have room to put a second one, so adding a couple of trays makes a huge difference in the amount of fruit I can dry. My fuyu persimmons were all ripe at once, at least the ones the bears and foxes didn't eat, and I was able to get them dehydrated before any of them went bad. We have a small orchard in the foothills, and I did apples, pears, and the fuyu persimmons. The extra trays made it go so much faster. They fit perfectly, and though it says not to put them in the dishwasher, they do fine on the top level without using the dry setting. I never use it anyway as everything dries just fine without wasting the electricity.
mariah thomas : would buy again!
Needed a little more room for meat so I bought these trays! Almost exactly like the ones that came with my dehydrator. They work good and are easy to clean.

hc : New trays fit perfect for old machine
I have an old American Harvest Snackmaster that I got when my kids were little over 20 years ago. I recently pulled it out of storage and have been enjoying dehydrating again. I wanted to get more trays to be able to dehydrate more fruit at once. I was pleased that these trays fit my 20 year old model perfectly and I will be getting more to expand my machine.
Rondee Fuchs : Works with old-style Nesco Harvester
works with my dehydrator. these trays are not as sturdy as the original trays but they work. I just use them with lighter foods.
Mistress Y. : Handy
It's nice to have the additional capacity for the dehydrator when doing large batches.
Eugene : Compatible with older Nesco dehydrator and good for drying 3d printing filament
Older reviews complain about the product photos not matching the trays, but the photos have since been updated and the trays I received did match the photos, so I am happy with what I received. The box still has pictures of the old trays, and there's still a note inside saying the trays don't match the box. Manufacturers should not be changing their product without changing the model number and SKU.
Even though the manufacturer acted poorly in the past, I got what I expected, and I'm completely satisfied with it. The trays are light gray with a darker speckle texture. The trays are dished in the middle and support plenty of weight. Unlike the older trays, these do not have the "pizza box table" support rings in the middle. These perfectly match my ~15 year old Nesco dehydrator mechanically, and they're the same height, although the color doesn't match the older white trays. These are a great value, and I'll be ordering more. I also want to note that with the mesh cut out, two trays provide enough space for a 1kg spool of 3d printing filament.
Ant-B_28 : No issues
Needed extra trays when making beef jerky. There not the original trays that came with my market machine but I have no issues with them and it does they job. My customers have no complaints and now that I have more trays I can get more orders filled and that means more money haha
Donald T : Expensive, but cheap replacement for original trays
Missing center raised lip to direct airflow and screen is warped. It works, just not as well as original trays. I expected a lot better quality for the money.
jabbadehut60 : They warped 1st time in dishwasher
I bought four of these to expand my older Nesco dehydrator (two packs of two). They fit fine into the older dehydrator when initially purchased. They are certainly not the same quality as the original dehydrator rings. All four were put in the dishwasher on a normal cycle following the first use. They warped and never provided a tight seal again in the dehydrator again. Cheap junk. Buyer beware.

J : Works pretty great
I got this dehydrator as a newbie. So far I've used it for maybe 30 hours or so, and love it. It works great, is quiet, and easy to clean. It's not super high quality (it's no excalibur), but for the price, it's a steal!
you can compare the product price from Costco, wayfair, bestbuy, lowes, target, homedepot, Walmart, ebay, amazon to find the best price for you
