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.
Answer: Mine came with the unit
Q:
How do I start a return
Q:
Which add on trays will fit the FD 1040?
Answer: Add-A-Tray FD-1000, 1010, 1020, 1040-Set of 2 White, 15 ...
Answer: FD-1000, FD-1010, FD-1020 and FD-1040
Answer: look at reviews,mine is a fd 75
Answer: T-R 2
Answer: Sorry I. don't know
Q:
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
Kindle Customer : Versatile for making kale chips
I received the Nesco Snackmaster Pro Food Dehydrator as a gift and started experimenting with it. It came with 5 trays, which wasn't quite enough room for me to make kale chips from one bunch of kale I got from my farm. I got these 2 extra trays and it was perfect to use all 7 trays to make the kale chips.
Storage is easy because they just stacked and my dehydrator is just a little bit taller when being stored.
I did notice that it does take a little bit longer for the food to be completely dehydrated, compared to when I use 5 trays or less. Most of the time I can monitor it and rotate the trays once or twice, so it wasn't a problem.
WiseCrew : REdesign them AGAIN!! Not so much...
Okay, so these DO fit my VERY VERY VERY old FD-50.
AND they HAVE been REdesigned...sigh...
The GOOD:
They fit my very old FD-50.
The BAD:
The tines are MUCH FURTHER apart than my original trays.
There is NOT the center core with the notches in it, like the original & older replacement trays have; the downside to that is that they made the trays so that they are BOWED up in the center, which I assume is to keep whatever you are dehydrating from rolling through the center tray opening... SO if you are trying to make fruit leather, dry larger fruits (think strawberries, berries, cherries, etc.), etc. they ROLL backwards to the outer edges of the trays, & all cluster together, which INTERFERES with PROPER drying.
Had they just LEFT the center ALONE like the ORIGINAL DESIGN, the rolling would not be an issue... sigh... all to save a few cents in plastic (I assume that was the reason for the design change)?!
-------------------------
Overall assessment:
Do the trays work for dehydrating herbs, flowers, etc?? YES, they DO work for those things.
Do the trays work for things like sliced foods that won't roll like apple slices, etc?? Yes, apples, pears, peaches, tc. work fine, BUT something that is smaller, like bananas is a HUGE HASSLE unless you use the plastic mesh screens to be able to remove them easily.
The tines being further apart makes the smaller, stickier things HARDER to REMOVE from the trays & results in crumbled up food slices, slashes under your fingernails, if you are like me & get so FRUSTRATED trying to remove them that you use your fingernails not realizing how SHARP the banana slices can be... yes, I am a KLUTZ.
So would I recommend these trays if you're like me & don't have the money to replace your ancient dehydrator??
I'd say YES, but only IF you are aware that you may have rolling issues w/fruits, etc... & that making fruit leather will result in the center part of it being THINNER than the OUTER edge due to the trays being TILTED to the outer edges., which also means your drying time will need to be LONGER due to the outer edges being THICKER & that could result in the INSIDE edges being OVER dried depending upon how thick you make them overall. Regardless of how thick you make them, they will still require UNEQUAL drying time to get them COMPLETELY & EQUALLY dry. If you make them thinner, that will take less time, but it will also mean a thinnerfruit roll & less product volume in the end, so BEWARE of that!
If you are only using yours for drying herbs, flower heads, etc. that won't roll, you probably won't have any issues.
Overall I am going with 1 star because I think that the trays should be REdesigned AGAIN to bring back the center stem. One should not have to use a product in a different way, such as making fruit rolls thinner which results in A HASSLE of uneven drying, less product, etc., just to use the "NEWLY" designed product. It is doable for leaves, flowers, etc., but I think that this product is supposed to be for fruit rolls, jerky, etc. & no extra hassle should be required of the user to make their product function properly as it once did.
IMO these are DEFECTIVE & need a ANOTHER REDESIGN. I am forced to keep using mine until I can afford to replace my 20+ year old dehydrator though. I have a few original trays left & I also have some of the older model "replacemenr trays" which actually weren't raised in the center, so I can make fruit leather on those still, but the new ones NOT SO MUCH!
Isaac : Nothing like the older trays
The original nesco trays had much more room, these new ones are the same size but have half the occupancy, I can't imagine how you'd design something so simple so much worse the second time. I still overall like the nesco stackable design, but these new trays are oddly shaped towards the center and have far less capacity. I just use my old trays instead of the ones I ordered. Dissapointng because I bought three????♂️
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.
Jan Wieck : This new design is flimsy
I have a Nesco FD-61 that came with 4 of the original trays (the ones with the castle dome in the middle). I extended it to 6 trays and they had a changed design that isn't as convenient. They removed that castle dome, which helped putting the whole thing together with hands covered in Jerky marinade.
This is the 3rd design and in one word: flimsy. Apparently someone who doesn't use a food dehydrator for real figured out how to save some plastic in the manufacturing process.
They still fit my needs because I cut out the inner part to use them as spacer rings to dry 3D printer filament spools. I would not recommend getting these if you intend to go berserk on Jerky production.
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.
cjlizzard : Ok, a little flimsy.
Not very robust and not a perfect fit. Time will tell on how well they stand up. Good price.
cjlizzard : Ok, a little flimsy.
Not very robust and not a perfect fit. Time will tell on how well they stand up. Good price.
Geo Haas : love them
have added to existing stack of these-new design deleted the raised area in the middle -only down side stack not as secure when it gets tall(15+ trays) but i alternate them with old style -not a problem
S. Emery : I love my Nesco dehydrator !!
I love this line of products. I bought the dehydrator to help with building my food storage and was apprehensive because I had never used one before. But the price was VERY good so I decided to take the risk. I'm so glad I did.
Awesome product! I've had so much fun and my food storage is growing very quickly, with entirely different food options. Now I cant wait for my garden to start producing.
Unfortunately the unit only comes with four of the tray screens, so I've had to order more. This order makes twelve in all for me and I will be ordering even more in the near future so that I can keep expanding my food storage. I have zero regrets and highly recommend this product.
Love this dehydrator! Thank you Nesco for making a quality product and thank you amazon for getting it to me cheap and FAST!
Benjamin Thompson : Not sure why people are complaining.
Have no Clue why people are complaining about the new design of these.. haven't noticed a difference i predominantly use these for making collard green chips. have 11 shelves on my unit now and it works just as well as it did before.
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.
Amazon Customer : Changed from original
The design has changed from the original design. Upon first use both of the trays warped. The center ring has been removed, leading to a less rigid tray. The trays were only at the 125 degree setting when they warped. Once the trays warped, they are difficult to use.
GuyD : this is the 2nd order of these, and they ...
this is the 2nd order of these, and they are not the same as the dehydrator they were bought for, FD-61, even thou the box said they were the right ones. not happy right now
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!
JJE : Not what they used to be. Disappointed.
Do the trick! But every time I have ordered replacements they get worse and worse. These do not have the center raised ring and also seem to slope to the outside at a downward angle. Probably to make up for no ring. Making fruit roll ups might be difficult with these. Thankfully I have the older style and original ones. I will not be buying more.
CheriM : These work fine for beef jerky, but they seem a little "off" in manufacturing.
These are good extras/replacements for my dehydrator, however they seem a little "off". They don't sit exactly flush when stacked on each other like the originals do, and two of them are a little warped on the grates. However, I made a batch of beef jerky on them this weekend and the result was the same as the originals. The tiny gaps didn't affect drying time or results, at least for beef jerky. I can't guarantee they would work the same for more temperamental substances.
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.
Tricks and Treats : New (Bad) Design
I purchased a "used" set but the box was entirely sealed and with little damage to the box.
That said, I will not be returning them because the price was under $9 and they are not completely useless.
I WILL be purchasing differently designed ones in the future, and I will have to accept the higher price, as these cheaper version were not designed to stack with the original Nesco trays that came with the dehydrator (mine is FD-75)
These trays are flimsier plastic and they do not have the center "wall" like the original trays do. They also do not stack with the others so I am likely losing some heat but I primarily use my dehydrator for pet food so I am not very concerned however I do intend on purchasing more trays (of better design) to optimize my pet treat capabilities.
These are a pain in the butt to clean, but I don't know how to alleviate that (aside from silicone liners- I.E. more purchases)
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.
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.
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.
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.

Jan Wieck : This new design is flimsy
I have a Nesco FD-61 that came with 4 of the original trays (the ones with the castle dome in the middle). I extended it to 6 trays and they had a changed design that isn't as convenient. They removed that castle dome, which helped putting the whole thing together with hands covered in Jerky marinade.
This is the 3rd design and in one word: flimsy. Apparently someone who doesn't use a food dehydrator for real figured out how to save some plastic in the manufacturing process.
They still fit my needs because I cut out the inner part to use them as spacer rings to dry 3D printer filament spools. I would not recommend getting these if you intend to go berserk on Jerky production.
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
Randall W : Makes more Beef Jerky in one batch
It increases the drying time but that's to be expected. I also rotate the trays throughout the process. Who doesn't love more beef jerky in a batch?
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!
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.
dpetto : What they gave me is not what was in the photos on Amazon or what's in the photos on the box they came in! Thumbs down!
What is pictured in the photo on Amazon and on the box is NOT what they give you. There is a slip of paper inside the box that says that these have been re-designed to fit several models, but in my FD-61 the only way they fit is by turning them upside down. The problem with that is that the slope of the tray goes upwards instead of downwards like my original trays and they can only be stacked on the top of the old trays because of the opposite angles of the trays. Pretty poor deal all around. Feel like I've been a victim of false advertising. I will make them work, but I'm not very happy. BTW-This is the first one star review I've ever given.
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.
Kindle Customer : Versatile for making kale chips
I received the Nesco Snackmaster Pro Food Dehydrator as a gift and started experimenting with it. It came with 5 trays, which wasn't quite enough room for me to make kale chips from one bunch of kale I got from my farm. I got these 2 extra trays and it was perfect to use all 7 trays to make the kale chips.
Storage is easy because they just stacked and my dehydrator is just a little bit taller when being stored.
I did notice that it does take a little bit longer for the food to be completely dehydrated, compared to when I use 5 trays or less. Most of the time I can monitor it and rotate the trays once or twice, so it wasn't a problem.
Sammie : Perfect fit
It’s a perfect fit for my Nesco snackmaster dehydrator. I can always need more racks
Geo Haas : love them
have added to existing stack of these-new design deleted the raised area in the middle -only down side stack not as secure when it gets tall(15+ trays) but i alternate them with old style -not a problem
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
Yaakov Shlomo : You get your money's worth!
There really is a lot to say about this dehydrator....It is very easy to use, the desired temperatures are Fully adjustable to whatever temperature that you want...you are not restricted to the click, click, click thing...you can dial it right in. The handle tucks away down into the top of the unit. The heater / fan unit is extremely well built and the fan design, along with they tray system gives all levels equal flow of heat. The trays can be taken out of the holders and larger items can use that space for drying. The loudness of the fan is low (probably like a small desk fan) and is really non-irritating. The unit is very easy to clean. It is just a very good dehydrator. I have owned one other one of a different brand and it did not compare to this one. It comes with 5 racks, but I purchased 2 more and it accommodated 5 lbs of muscle meat cut into 1/8 + inch strips. The Jerky came out just fantastic. I used Hi Mountain Jerky Seasoning. I was supposed to get three packages of the Nesco brand seasoning with the unit, but only received one. Not the end of the world, but hey... I am not going to die over it. All in all, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. It has me smiling :-)
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.
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.
Amazon Customer : Item depicted is not what you receive.
The item depicted is not what you recieve. The trays I recieved do fit my dehydrator, but they lack the middle support (dipicted in the image, and even on the box I recieved it in). Without this support these add-on trays noticibly weaker than my original trays. Additionally these add-on trays are noticibly sloped and even (due to the angle) prevents the fruit leather add-on from working properly. I will say that I do love my Nesco dehydrator professional, and if you are looking into buying one, you can't beat the FD-75PR. I have even purchased the flexible screens and the fruit leather add-ons and they are both subpurb. These add-on trays, however, are just horrible. If you need new or additional trays do some research and hopefully NESCO makes a different model with the center supports that match the discription.
amylou : Fits dehydrator, but warped
Trays fit my dehydrator just fine, but were warped upon arrival. I hoped they would flatten out after using them, but they have not. Still works for some things, but can't use these trays with my fruit leather trays.
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.
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
JJE : Not what they used to be. Disappointed.
Do the trick! But every time I have ordered replacements they get worse and worse. These do not have the center raised ring and also seem to slope to the outside at a downward angle. Probably to make up for no ring. Making fruit roll ups might be difficult with these. Thankfully I have the older style and original ones. I will not be buying more.
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.
Stephen F Hurst : Quality accessory
The number of trays supplied with the dehydrator were insufficient. Inexpensive way to expand
Isaac : Nothing like the older trays
The original nesco trays had much more room, these new ones are the same size but have half the occupancy, I can't imagine how you'd design something so simple so much worse the second time. I still overall like the nesco stackable design, but these new trays are oddly shaped towards the center and have far less capacity. I just use my old trays instead of the ones I ordered. Dissapointng because I bought three????♂️
cjlizzard : Ok, a little flimsy.
Not very robust and not a perfect fit. Time will tell on how well they stand up. Good price.
Amazon Customer : Item depicted is not what you receive.
The item depicted is not what you recieve. The trays I recieved do fit my dehydrator, but they lack the middle support (dipicted in the image, and even on the box I recieved it in).

Iggy : Perfectly functional but cosmetic imperfections.
The trays are slightly redesigned from the original ones that came with my Nesco American Harvest Food Dehydrator & Jerky Maker (I don't see a model number). That being said, they are a perfect fit and are fully functional with my machine. I deducted a star because the outside of the rings (the visible part when using it) do not have a smooth finish like the originals, they have wavy imperfections throughout that looks like the plastic mold was imperfect. In the photo I attached the top three are the add-on trays and the bottom four trays the original.
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.
