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
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.
Debra : Great for creating natural dog treats
Purchased this to create jerky treats for our diabetic dog. She loves them and I love that they are healthy all natural treats!
The Random Repairman : Not the same as in my new 75-a snackmaster
Not the same as the ones that came with the new 75-a. These are opposite angled and habe A cone thing in the middle. You will lose 1 tray in expansion because no room to use it since tray Sloaps almost touch. Assenine design change that isn’t backwards comparable.
Amazon Customer : There is no raised area in center
There is no "lip" or whatever you want to call it in the center where the hole is. Consequently when I use the yogurt/fruit roll up tray on it, it does not stay in place. My new dehydrator had different style of "lip", but it still had the raised edge around circle; this keeps tray in place much better.
JustTrustMe : It works
I accidentally ordered this for my FD-60, and was pleasantly surprised to find that they fit. There was even a note in the box mentioning the redesign, but saying that it will fit the 50, 60, and 61. I can't recall what other models were noted.
As mentioned in other reviews, the inner portion of the tray is bowed, so it is not good for liquids, like for making fruit leather. There is also a bit more space between the tines as others have said. I'm a big fan of the silicone mesh sheets for solving that problem. Makes cleanup much easier too.
Overall, it works. Not much to it, but it could be better.
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
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.
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!
Geminidream : Nesco LT-2SG Add-A-Tray for Dehydrator
I did try to support a local business to purchase this item first but Amazon totally had them beat by the price. Sorry, not sorry. These were packaged beautifully (the local ones were all a little-worse-for-wear looking) and fit my dehydrator perfectly.
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.
Web Shopper : 50% of the pieces are warped in the 1st order and replacement order.
With 2 pc's per box, I'm going to have to return 5 boxes in order to get 10 good trays.
I think the mfgr. had a bad batch and they are mixing them with a properly formed trays in order to get rid of the ones that should have been scrapped.
Frustrating.......
SmokinJoe : Different design
These aren't as well designed/built as the original ones that came with my dehydrator. Not that the trays are weaker, they just don't lock together with the base or older trays as nice. They still work otherwise.
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!
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
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.
ccat123 : Not the original....
Like the other reviews they aren't anything like the originals and they are really flimsy, I got a great deal out of the warehouse so I'll make them work.
SmokinJoe : Different design
These aren't as well designed/built as the original ones that came with my dehydrator. Not that the trays are weaker, they just don't lock together with the base or older trays as nice. They still work otherwise.
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????♂️
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.
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
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!
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.
Cindy : All 4 trays were warped
I have used my Nesco food dehydrator for years and have several times added a few extra trays. This time all four of the recently purchased trays were warped and one was totally unusable. Not sure if these were actually Nesco trays. They seen floppier than the rest and not as good of quality as Nesco has produced in the past. Perhaps it's better to order directly from American Harvest in the future. I'd like amazon to replace or refund me for these. Very disappointed.
Valerie : Sturdy
I had to return because l bought the wrong size but the trays are well made
Sammie : Perfect fit
It’s a perfect fit for my Nesco snackmaster dehydrator. I can always need more racks
JS : Yes, this fits the FD-50 model
I read conflicting reports regarding the compatibility of these trays with the older model FD-50. So I am confirming they do fit the FD-50. The only difference is these trays do not have the small plastic cylinder in the center found on the original trays I don't know what those do, but I can't see it effecting performance.
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????♂️
Michael T. Heine : new isn't better
my only complaint is that the new trays are alot thinner and not as sturdy as the older models, so you have to be careful when using and cleaning.
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.
scrap girl : A perfect addition to your dehydrator
I have a Nesco dehydrator that came with five trays. As I have used it, I realized I could dry so much more if I had more trays. The beauty of Nesco is you can add trays as you need them. My dehydrator will expand to 12 trays. I currently have nine, sometimes I will use all of them and sometimes I only use a few. But I like having the option to use see many as I need. They match the dehydrator perfectly and look like they came with it.
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 :-)
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.
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
The Dog Empire : These have been redesigned and are not the same as ...
These have been redesigned and are not the same as the original trays. They are now higher in the middle so the whole tray is angled, so whatever you are placing on the tray has to be completely flat so it doesn't touch the tray above. Don't buy them! Get online and find a second hand dehydrator and use the trays from that one.
Mandy Bee : Works for Jerky
I ordered these replacement racks to replace two that were accidentally melted in the bottom rack of our dishwasher. The color of the plastic is noticeably different, but they fit our NESCO FD-61WHC perfectly. The other reviewers have already pointed out that the redesigned racks are higher in the center than the old ones, but my husband only uses our dehydrator for jerky, fruit and nuts, so he's not affected by the difference. It was a good purchase for us and I'll order more in the future if we need them.

Dani : I've been dehydrating for a long time and I highly recommend do not use these trays find another one
Do not buy this item. It does not fit a DF 51 Nesco dehydrator- well. First of all when I use it I have to finagle with it to fit my dehydrator from Nesco. Meaning I have to twisted it & turn it & flip it upside down to make it fit correctly'ish. Also it's missing the Rings in the middle. Which means it doesn't support the trays above .... I will keep them. But I will never buy them again. The plastic is cheap too.... I've been dehydrating for a long time and I highly recommend do not use these trays find another one... And make sure.. it has the Rings in the middle and it fits the dehydrator correctly. My bad it was.... I did not pull these trays out of the box fast enough and use them right away to know there was a major difference from the trays that I purchased from Nessco.... Had I use them right away I would have returned them!!!!
Jesse Knott : These are the same racks that came with my FD-75A I ordered at the same time
I don't get all the bad reviews? I got these the same time I ordered my dehydrator, and they are indistinguishable from the ones that came with the machine. They hold up really well, clean up beautifully and serve their intended purpose perfectly.
I was worried when I had some strawberries and bananas stick to them. It seemed they were stained by the strawberry juice, and I was concerned they were going to break when I cleaned them. But nothing doing... they cleaned up beautifully, and I now know to make my fruit slices thicker (that is why they were sticking so bad... too thin)
Michael T. Heine : new isn't better
my only complaint is that the new trays are alot thinner and not as sturdy as the older models, so you have to be careful when using and cleaning.
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.
Sammie : Perfect fit
It’s a perfect fit for my Nesco snackmaster dehydrator. I can always need more racks
Debra : Great for creating natural dog treats
Purchased this to create jerky treats for our diabetic dog. She loves them and I love that they are healthy all natural treats!
Desert Hiker : More volume for favorite fruits and veggies - easy to clean
The best thing about these dehydrator trays is they are the same as what comes with the Nesco Dehydrator and the fruit and veggies do not stick, they are easy to clean, and rotating them during dehydration is a breeze. We bought two to add to our Nesco that came from Amazon with 5 trays. Our tray stack is now 7 high, so we rotate about halfway through the drying process. 7 trays holds a lot of fruit and our favorites, apples, mangos, kiwi, bananas, peaches .... just slice, place them on the rack, and dry. I would buy again. Recommend!
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.

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.
Valerie : Sturdy
I had to return because l bought the wrong size but the trays are well made
Chief Cynic In Charge : Doesn't really fit a Cosori CO165-FD ... but ...
I looked at the reviews for these and saw that a couple of people asked if these would fit other machines. One person responded with a snarky comment that was no help at all. In any case, I thought that I'd gamble a few bucks and see if they'd work on my machine.
Not really ... but kinda.
They are larger than the Cosori trays, and they don't fit together with the Cosori trays, but if you put these as the bottom of the stack, they can be made to stay aligned on the machine. Likewise, the Cosori trays will line up on top of them. It works out so that there's a little bit of "lip" to keep them aligned, so they'll work. They don't seal really well together, so there's some loss in efficiency. Also, I wouldn't put them where they might get bumped.
But you can make them work in a pinch if you really need the extra space.
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.
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.
you can compare the product price from Costco, wayfair, bestbuy, lowes, target, homedepot, Walmart, ebay, amazon to find the best price for you
