Mom has an Excalibur Dehydrator and she is always bringing it over so that we can use it. There is nothing more frustrating than when the veggies or fruit start to dry and shrivel up and get stuck in the dehydrator trays. She had a few dehydrator sheets but not enough for all of her racks.
I was contacted last week about trying these dehydrator sheets in exchange for an honest review which I was tickled to do.
These are as advertised and work great. They are reusable so will last a long time.
However, I also wanted to mention what I discovered is how many things these are very useful for. I will probably have to purchase more just to be able to have enough for everything that I want to do with them. :)
They have a beautiful washable surface that just wipes clean (or you can toss them in the dishwasher). They are BPA free to use in your cooking (of course since these are made for your dehydrator).
Some of the other uses I found this week for them was
1) Lining my bathroom drawers with them (they can be cut very easily to the size that you need). This makes for quick and easy wipe off whenever you need to wipe the drawers out -- it is a breeze. If you don't get your nail polish lid on tight and you have some spill you will not be messing up the inside of your drawers -- and who knows it might even wipe off of these (don't know yet -- thankfully) -- but even if it doesn't you can just pitch and recut a new liner piece and your drawer is as good as new.
2) When I am making the polymer clay canes I can roll out my clay on these mats and work the polymer and it cleans up very nicely afterwards without messing up my countertops.
3) Works great as a painting palette mat. They protect your work surface and you can also just drop your paint right on the mat and use it as a palette. You will want to make sure any you use for your crafting are marked so they do not get mixed up with any of your cooking or dehydrating mats. I do still need to find a good pen that will "write" on them because my sharpie I don't think is going to stay :)
Here is some info from the seller on Amazon

I have several other things I am anxious to try these out on to see how they work. Who knows I may have another review later on. As mentioned above they can be used for pan liners when baking cookies etc. I have not gotten to try this yet, but several have mentioned on Amazon they have used theirs for this as well and cookies sound good -- so I am anxious to give that a whirl.
So -- my overall opinion on these are they work great not only for what they were created for but several other uses as well -- you get 9 of them and if you think outside the box I am sure you can come up with some awesome uses for them as well!!!!
I want to thank Lucky Star LLC for giving me the opportunity to try out these dehydrator sheets.
