Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nesco American Harvest Clean-A-Screen Tray
Customer Review: I Love it!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved the tray that came with my Nesco Dehydrator so much; I had to have four more! I buy a lot of fruit for my kids to eat, and I used to throw away a lot of fruit that would over ripen before they could eat it all (especially bananas). Once I got my dehydrator, I started making Fruit Leathers with the leftovers. my kids actually preferred it to the fresh fruit!
All I do is remove the peel from any fruit that is past its peak, throw it in the food processor, liquefy it, scoop it onto the Clean-A-Screen Tray and place it in the dehydrator. When it is dry I take the tray out- and give it to my kids to peel and place in airtight bags - they usually eat it all and never put any in bags! I have even used it as "treat when you finish your homework!" Can you believe that - they are eating fruit with no sugar added and think it is a special treat! AWESOME!!!!
Customer Review: Great for dried sticky fruits
Summary: 4 Stars
We have an apricot tree at my parents' house and my dad used to love to make frozen apricots. The problem with drying them however, is that they stick to the dehydrator as the sugars concentrate in the fruit.
If you do dried fruits (we do apples, pears and peaches) you know that they stick to the normal trays. Berries fall through. If you are into dehydrating your produce, these tray inserts come out so you can scrape off the dried product and wash them easily. I wish these and the jerky-fruit-leather sheets came with the dehydrator but they don't. If you grow vegetables and fruits, this is very useful for processing your crop.
Customer Review: A must for dehydrating sticky foods ...
Summary: 5 Stars
These screens are a must have if you're dehydrating sticky foods! My Nesco dehydrator only came with two of these, so I ordered more so I could have them in each tray. They allow you to pick up the clean-a-screen when you're done hydrating and flex them so the stuck items just pop off. They are very, very handy. I actually use them with everything I dehydrate. Plus they seem to hold up really well ... I've been using mine for a few months now with several trips through the dehydrator and washing (hand washing) and haven't had a single break, tear, crack, etc.Customer Review: A "Must Have" item for your dehydrator
Summary: 4 Stars
Clean up is simpler with these Nesco American Harvest Clean-A-Screen Trays, but hand washing them is not so simple. They are especially difficult to clean after making jerky, but they do come clean nicely if you toss them in the top rack of the dishwasher.
Don't believe that food won't stick! It will. But you will find that removing sticky items from these is much easier than removing it from the bare dehydrator racks.
So far, they seem relatively durable, and well worth the price.
Customer Review: screen saver for your dehydrator
Summary: 4 Stars
Tried to use my Nesco Amer harvest without it, what a mess. The strawberries stuck to the tray, which resulted in needing to place them in the dishwasher. Ordered extra screens within days - what a difference - the food pops off very easily and the screens may go in the diswasher top rack if necessary! Only thing that could make the screens better is a smoother surface. The Nesco unit came with 1 and I am glad that I ordered four more.
