If you already own the wonderful Nesco food dehydrator, then this is your next logical and sensible purchase. You might as well be able to produce more of your favorite dried food in one process. For me, I like to make a lot of beef jerky at once. The added trays make it possible to dry four pounds of ground sirloin in five hours. The trays are exact duplicates of what you are now using. Just be certain of your Nesco's model number pryor to ordering this useful addition to you machine.

Nesco FD-75PR 700-Watt Food Dehydrator Review

Nesco FD-75PR 700-Watt Food Dehydrator
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had been researching dehydrators for months and finally decided on this one. I am happy I did. I have dried veggies, fruits, made jerky and fruit leathers so far. It is easy to use, has great recipes and works well. It is nice to be able to give the kids snacks that are not full of sugars and things no one can pronounce. I only wish it had a timer. I will probably use a regular timer and plug it into that.
Pros: *fan not in bottom of unit - allows for more uniform drying
*temperature control
*size - fits nicely on a kitchen counter
*availability of accessories
*ease of use
Cons: *no timer
*no on/off switch - you have to unplug the unit to turn it off

Dry fruit, vegetables, and jerky in hours instead of days with this 700-watt food dehydrator. The unit's patented Converga-Flow drying system forces air down the exterior pressurized chamber, then horizontally across each individual tray, converging in the center, for fast, even, and nutritious drying. Flavors don't mix, and there's no need to rotate the trays. Its top-mounted fan eliminates the worry of liquids dripping into the heater chamber, and an opaque Vita-Save exterior helps block harmful lights in order to retain more of the food's nutrients and vitamins during the drying process. The unit's adjustable thermostat ranges from 95 to 160 degrees F, providing the flexibility needed to ensure excellent results. Five trays come included, but the unit can be expanded to up to 12 trays (additional trays sold separately) for drying larger quantities at one time. Accessories include two fruit roll sheets, perfect for drying semi-liquids like soups, sauces, and fruit rolls; two Clean-A-Screen flexible screens, which allow for easy drying of small items such as herbs, spices, and potpourri; and three original jerky spice packets for making jerky. A 52-page recipe and instruction book also comes included. With a sleek, contemporary design, the food dehydrator measures approximately 13 by 13 by 10 inches. From the Manufacturer

Nesco SQT-2 Add-A-Tray Square-Shaped Dehydrator Tray, Set of 2 Review

Not much to say, these are made for the square shaped FD-80 Nesco dehydrator and fit just like the ones that came with the unit. They are slightly lighter colored than the original racks, but really not a big deal to me. Since the FD-80 can go up to 8 racks total, I will probably ended up buying one more set.

After a hunting trip or a day spent picking, washing, and slicing produce, it can take a lot of time and effort to process and cure pound after pound of wild game, fruits, and vegetables. Speed up the process with this set of two handy dehydrator accessory trays. Designed for use with the Nesco FD-80 Square Food Dehydrator (sold separately), the trays combine to add a generous 200 additional square inches of drying space to the dehydrator, enabling larger batches and consequently less wasted time and energy. Even more, the units' square design provides 40-percent more drying space than traditional round dehydrator trays, and their strong, break-resistant construction features a patented Converge-Flow drying system that distributes heat quickly and evenly--no tray rotation required. The set of two dehydrator trays measures approximately 14-4/5 by 14-4/5 by 2-1/5 inches.

Nesco American Harvest Clean-A-Screen Tray Review

Nesco American Harvest Clean-A-Screen Tray
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a pack of two screens that are supposed to be identical to the one that came with the dehydrator.
It seemed to me they were a little bit heavier weight than the orginal but thats a good thing.
The main reason I got them was for easier cleanup. I like to dehydrate jerky made from a jerky gun. When I would squirt the jerky straight onto the trays it would tend to swell into the grills of the tray. This made it harder to remove and made cleanup a real mess. So I ended up squriting onto wax paper and moving them to the trays.
With these screens in place I can squirt right onto the screen/tray and it doesn't stick hard or create a mess. What little mess it creates is much easier to cleanup since it is on the surface and not in between the grids. For cleanup I leave the screen on the tray and use a nylong scrub brush. Works better than sponge or pad.
Of course you can also use these to dry smaller items that might fall through. But thats not my big concern right now. I'm happy to have less mess.
The only drawback I see is that they are overpriced. [money amount]for [money amount] worth of plastic. Also to make sure you cover all of your trays you have to buy 2 packs.

These 12-3/4-inch screens (a set of two) can be inserted into the trays of Nesco American Harvest's FD-27 and FD-50 food dehydrators to prevent foods such as sugary fruits from sticking during the drying process. The fine-mesh screens are flexible, so they can be curled and foods simply peeled off. The screens are also useful for preventing small items such as herbs and spices from falling through the dehydrators' trays. As a bonus, they're dishwasher-safe.
