A useful and necessary accessory for drying sticky or small foods in your Presto 06300 Dehydrator
The nonstick mesh screens are lightweight, washable, and the only way you can dry small fruit/veg/food in the Presto dehydrator. Small fruits or foods in small bits (smaller than, say, 1/2" before dehydration) have a knack for falling between the coarse plastic ribs of the trays that come with the dehydrator. With foods that tend to become sticky, these nonstick screens save you a bunch of time. Rather than scraping the food off the trays, pop the food on one of these nonstick screens and when it's dehydrated, you can easily move the food. The directions suggest for really sticky foods that you flex the screen to loosen - this works quite well.
Even though they are nonstick, you may need to brush stickier bits of residue from the mesh holes when doing cleanup. A quick brush and a pop into the dishwasher (I don't use the heat dry feature on my dishwasher but presume that these screens might be fine, given that the dehydrator itself gets to around 160
