Answer: Yes indeed and it is delicious..bananas with whole oats (uncooked) ,raisins . I place on baking wax paper.. don't spread close to the edges.. when cooked and pliable place jelly or preserves lightly and roll.. leave in wax paper and secure with foil paper overnight.. slice into pinwheels..serve. you can leave the jelly off also.. it is just as nice...My sons Love it. Hope this helps. Blessings
Answer: Yes, but you need to line the trays. I used parchment since I had a box of pre-cut sheets. Because of the shortage of canning jars this summer I ended up drying most of my applesauce. Easy and delicious.
Answer: Yes!
Q:
Recommended insert for making powdered milk?!
Answer: I'm not sure how successful milk or broth would be in this machine. The trays are flat metal with no raised edges like the round trays that have the motor/fan at the bottom. You can certainly buy silicone mats to put on the shelves, but even with the 10 trays I dont think it would hold enough milk that making your own powdered would be worth while. I'd stick with the round stacking dehydrators for turning liquid to powder, those have trays intended for that.

Answer: Thank you so much for your attention. This food dehydrator can only work for 110V. We hope this can help you

Mine doesn't heat up at all......where can you buy the round relay inside the unit??? model lt 85. part # ksd 301, 250v 10a 100c
Q:
Will you guys have a 12 layer model again?
Answer: Yes
Q:
Is this machine energy efficient? Will my electricity go up alot?
Answer: I have not noticed an increase in electricity usage. Am saving overall by drying instead of canning.
Q:
I need to run it constantly for 70 days. Can I run it without the timer?
Answer: Hello, this dehydrator designed with a timer. It can't run without setting the time.
Q:
iwhat's the size of item?
Answer: Thank you so much for your attention. Its size is 16.92*18.3*15.74 inches.
Answer: Slightly less than 16 x16 inches in height and width, and 18” deep. Trays are 11x15 inches
Q:
Can the trays be seasoned to help keep food from sticking to the trays?

It can be used repeatable, and it is very convenient to clean after use. We hope this helps you.

Product reviews of 10 Layers Commercial Stainless Steel Food Dehydrator for Food and Jerky Fruit Dehydrator, Professional Jerky Maker Dryer with Adjustable Time and Temperature Control and 67 Recipes
Preston Bonney : Great dehydrator
Stainless steel and easy to use
zebra : cheap
painted stainless ?? bogus front cover is chipped paint on all ther units ...try lead paint .
anamaeted : I like it!! makes good Jerky!!
I really like this dehydrator, I have only used it a few times but it turns out a mighty fine jerky. Haven't used it for anything else yet. When you receive it, there is a card that tells you to email them and you get 5 free silicone mats and a lifetime warranty, I contacted them, they had trouble finding the order and asked me to screen shot the order, within 5 min. I got an email, the mats are on the way!! 5-6 emails within minutes. Very prompt response time, excellent customer service!! I would recommend this dehydrator!!!
The dehydrator is straight forward and easy to use. I dehydrated halibut, flowers for tea. I plan to dehydrate deer meat.
MRTN : Stay Dry
This review is for the 10 Layers Commercial Stainless Steel Food Dehydrator. We really love this dehydrator. We ordered it on July 24, 2021 and received it Aug 2, 2021. It arrived in very good condition. The fan blades were not bent as was reported in other reviews. We followed the instructions of things you need to do before using it such as removing a steel wire that is in place during shipping, wiping excess oil off of the stainless steel, removing any tape or plastic coatings that were there to protect it during shipping. Then when you first use it, you have to run it for an hour at high temp to burn off the oil and it is best to do this outside if possible because just like turning on your electric heating for the first time in the winter, there is a burnt odor with the heating elements heat up for the first time. But after that, there was no odor from the dehydrator other than the heavenly smell of the items you are dehydrating. In other reviews, it was said that this was cheaply made. I would tend to use a different term. I would use the term inexpensively made. I am not sure what order the pictures will end up in this review, but if you look at the pictures, you will see that the walls are fairly thin stainless steel. When I first saw this in a review it gave me concern, but after seeing this device in person, my comment would be why would you need any thicker stainless steel. You can see from the side and front views that they are not dented. It would not make any difference in the operation of the device if they were, but they are not. This is not a box that was built to be super attractive, but I don't think that the front looks bad at all. I think it looks very commercial quality which it is. It has both front and side air vents, but I am very happy that they are just at the front end of the machine and not all along the sides. This makes the air flow come completely from the back to the front and evenly over all of the items in the dehydrator. There was another dehydrator that we considered before we purchased this one and the front was very attractive, and it appeared to be a very solid dehydrator, but it was much smaller and could not accommodate the amount of food we need to process. And although it received great reviews, I was not as pleased with its design as I was with this one. The other dehydrator from back to front was constructed with the intake air vent, then the heating element, then the fan, and then the food compartment. This dehydrator is a little different. You have the intake air vent, then the fan, then the heating element, and then the food compartment. I would think it would be better for the fan if it could bring in cool air from the intake air vent to keep the fan cool and then pass that air over the heating element and then to the compartment. With the other dehydrator, the air would come in, be heated and then drawn over the fan. I would think that the fan life could be shortened by being exposed to the heat all the time. So that was one reason that we decided on getting this one. Having 10 stainless steel shelves is great and you can put a lot of food in this machine and still get a lot of good air flow. The shelves have a fairly close spacing between the mesh, but if you have even smaller size items to put in this, you can purchase some silicon small mesh screens and put them on top of the shelves. I have pictures of fresh items in the dehydrator before the process and then after the process. I have close up of the final products and you can see that they are evenly dried. My wife loves to dry herbs and give them to our children for Christmas. These turned out great. I have pictures showing the control panel both off and then showing time and temperature. You can see the temperature in both Fahrenheit and Celsius readings. I am including a video so that you can see the machine in operation and hear how fairly quiet it is. It makes less noise than a hair dryer and less noise than our air conditioner. You can hear my voice in the video and I am just talking normally so that you can see that the sound of the machine is not louder than me. Since we just purchased it recently, we cannot say how long that it will last, but from the operations so far, it looks really promising. This is going to make our dehydrating process so much easier. I love that it automatically shuts off after the required time. We have two round dehydrators and you have to watch them all the time. This one, you set it and come back when it is finished. The outside of this does get hot, so put it in a place where people will not go up and touch it. They warn you about this in the information. When we registered the device with the company, it appears that their customer service is very friendly and want you to be happy with their product. So we have not yet found any negative items with this device. I hope this review helps you decide on a dehydrator. This one is big and does a lot and does it very well. Enjoy!
Eric : Best dehydrator ever for making venison jerky.
Simple to use, easy to clean, and reaches high enough temperature to kill harmful bacteria for raw venison. Enough space to make a big batch of jerky.
Marie : It worked well for Me.
I used the dehydrator to dry apple slices. I love it. It did a great job on the apples. I haven't used it for anything else yet. It does get warm so I put a piece of plywood that was a little bigger than the dehydrator and put it on my good table. It works great.
Ryan Campbell : Great product. Great company.
This is a great dehydrator. It came with a protective skin to keep it shiny on its travels. It came packaged very well. It also included detailed setup instructions and a great cookbook. The only suggestion I have for the company would be to add F to C temperature switching.
Ryan jessop : Well worth the investment
The only problem I had is the wire that secured the heating element was a little difficult to get off I think a zip tie would work better than the steel wire

kyle dean : Decent buy
Fan did not work. Easy fix, just had to bind a few blades. was noisy, was able to fix that too. For the price, its huge and works.
juanandres64 : Recibi los equipos con voltaje 110V habiendo solicitado los de 220V.
Recibí los productos con voltaje diferente. Estoy en espera del envío del pedido correcto para seguir con la devolución de los primeros recibidos.Llego con buen embalaje y los equipos completos y en buenas condiciones.
Mary*Angel : Very nice quality dehydrator
Believe me this is the 3rd one I have tried, it works great, dries fast and is pretty quiet. I returned the first 2 brands I purchased. I wish I had purchased this one first. Well worth the money!
Bhuyck52 : Works great so quiet.
Works great so quite. I love my food dehydrator. Top of the line. Works perfectly.
Paki : Easy to use ,easy to clean.
This machine is just what i want , easy to use and easy to clean . I use it to dry my fish and it works perfect . I will make dry fruit in the future,Just love it.
Colleen Thompson : Makes great dog treats
I love that it dehydrated almost everything. I can make lots of dog treats and treats for my grandchildren. Super excited about my new dehydrator.
Sister claudia : Very Large equipment -- This is my first Dehydrator.
When removing packaging material -- part of it was stuck to the door.. Other wise ok
phil : Not worth the price.
Cheap, flimsy box. Doesn't dry evenly. Difficult to set temperature and timer. Typical chinese garbage.
Gerhard Maier : Very loud. Took raspberries 4 days straight to dry
I like the capacity
Dodgecook : Great dehydrator!!
It arrived today, which was very fast!! It’s very good quality, has a decent starter cookbook, and I’m very pleased with its size and capability's!!
Ashley Jennings : It works great
I ended up getting a replacement due to damage to the fan during shipping the first one. the second one works great and I would recommend.
phil : Not worth the price.
Cheap, flimsy box. Doesn't dry evenly. Difficult to set temperature and timer. Typical chinese garbage.
william kilpatrick : It works like a charm.
For the money this is the best deal. It works good. Easy to clean.
c : Worth it
Huge capacity, quality construction, delivered pretty quickly. Dried 10lbs of halved plums in 12 hours. Recommend it.
Jackie : look forward to many seasons of preserving my harvest
As described, love that the racks will go into the dishwasher and a lifetime warranty to boot!
Terri J. Wilton : Perfect for making Beef Jerky
We have used this to make a few batches of beef jerky. WIth my nu wave ove,n I was only abe to do do about 2.5 lbs at a time. With this, I do 10 lbs (before drying). 12 sticks per shelf x 10 shelves. Depending on the meat, it takes about 4 to 4 1/2 hours. The unit is fairly quiet, and dries consistently (you dont have to move shelves, or flip the sticks). I would recommend this.
Greg Killian : Gross
Came used and filthy
Ivy : Great dehydrator but has less room for taller items
Great dehydrator overall but unlike our other dehydrator the edges of the racks slide into these metal slots that are not very tall. This is fine if you are drying flat items but we were drying mushroom caps and essentially this meant that we had about 3/4” less space than we anticipated around the perimeter of each rack and it made the trays a lot harder to use. But it has good drying, we like the digital settings and great dehydrator overall.
panama8800 : Bent Fan Blade and Twisted Cabinet
We were so excited to get this dehydrator after returning a broken-on-arrival Excalibur 3926TB-9 tray dehydrator. It took over half an hour for my husband and me to remove the plastic film the front and bottom. Then we turned it on. It heats right up but it smells bad. Maybe it would out-gas over time, but the first time stink was horrible and that was on our open porch. Anyway, after listening to it run for a few seconds, I thought "Wow, this is so quiet!" I asked my husband, "Is the Fan working?" "No." After checking, we could see one of the fan blades is bent. And the cabinet is twisted, so when you latch the door, it's off by over a 1/4". The instruction book is a bit of a trick to decipher. Oh, and this unit came with a spare fuse, but my husband couldn't find where it might go should the need arise.

Liz Z : Great dehydrator for the price but instructions/cookbook are worthless
Works great so far. Replaced old round plastic model. Very easy to program and dries evenly. Large capacity. Have done a variety of vegetables, fruits and fruit leathers. Instructions/cookbook is worthless-Nothing basic, most recipes and ingredients strange to the average U.S. user, and very poorly translated. Temperatures only Celsius.
Satisfied customer : Portability
It’s lite weight and easy to move and store. The recipe book temperature suggestions are all in Celsius and could have a Fahrenheit temperature suggestion also.
cs : Works good
Rattles and makes noise. Set some weight on top of it and that pretty much eliminated the vibration and noise
Honey Bee’s : Cheap product made in China
Bought it last year July 2019 today the machine burned out today August 2020 I need a replacement
Greg Killian : Gross
Came used and filthy
Alissa : Broken
Came with a broken door...
Lesia m. Gray : Good product, great price
Arrived on time, packaged well. Easy instructions, light weight, quiet. only wish it could do both Celsius and Fahrenheit
Amazon Customer : Awesome
I gave the noise a four star just because the little handle on top vibrates off and on. So I set my big frying pan on it so it doesn't vibrate. Aside from that absolutely love this dehydrator. I can do a double batch of jerky and fruits.

JP : Fast Dry
Easy to use
Deborah : Convenient and easy to use. Lots of space!
If you only have some trays filled and you leave the empty trays in while it’s running, they will rattle. Simply remove them before starting and it will be pretty quiet.
Sister claudia : Very Large equipment -- This is my first Dehydrator.
When removing packaging material -- part of it was stuck to the door.. Other wise ok
Nan : Simple to use
Already dried zucchini, squash, green beans and the best beef jerky. I cut up a 5 lb eye of round and it all fit in the oven on one run. Takes 4 to 6 hours for jerky.
Heath Eikman : Damaged and instruction manual not the right one
The dehydrator came dented, therefore the fan wouldn't work. So heat was not circulating and meat wasnt getting done. Instruction maual was not helpful. It said you could adjust layers...there was no option for that. Third party so Amazon could not offer a replacement. If it worked it would be a good machine ...however it's a headache
Mary W. : The LARGE area for Dehydration!!
The LARGE area for Dehydration!!
Karenu002 : So far so good!
So far so good! No issues with fan or quality. It seems to dry efficiently and effectively for what I have done in the first week+ (potatoes, apples, bananas and fruit leather). Noise is minimal ( just a little rattling now and then due to being all metal as expected).
Coachwhip : Works well
Good capacity, runs quietly. I've only tried peppers and fruit so far, and it worked fine. (If you're drying berries, use silicon mats, as they stick to the metal racks.)
The features said "It allows you to switch the temp unit between ℉ and ℃," but I don't see a way to do this.
chris petterson : It's stainless steel and easy to clean
I do a lot of dehydrating. I am pleased with the stainless steel, it's durable and easy to clean. It's very quiet. There are 10 racks with ample space between so you can dry large quantities.
Camille : Noisy
This holds a good amount and would be a great dehydrator if it wasn’t so noisy. The motor rattles A LOT! Way too loud for inside my house, I had to try it in the garage because it was so loud. Frustrating since I have been looking for a large all metal dehydrator for a while. I guess I will keep looking.
panama8800 : Bent Fan Blade and Twisted Cabinet
We were so excited to get this dehydrator after returning a broken-on-arrival Excalibur 3926TB-9 tray dehydrator. It took over half an hour for my husband and me to remove the plastic film the front and bottom. Then we turned it on. It heats right up but it smells bad. Maybe it would out-gas over time, but the first time stink was horrible and that was on our open porch. Anyway, after listening to it run for a few seconds, I thought "Wow, this is so quiet!" I asked my husband, "Is the Fan working?" "No." After checking, we could see one of the fan blades is bent. And the cabinet is twisted, so when you latch the door, it's off by over a 1/4". The instruction book is a bit of a trick to decipher. Oh, and this unit came with a spare fuse, but my husband couldn't find where it might go should the need arise.
