...Unit has the stainless steel wire trays that I wanted (no plastic in contact with food)... Preparation before first run: 1) soak wire trays in hot soapy water about 15 minutes and rinsed with hot water. 2) sponged the dryer's interior with warm water. 3) Ran it for 1hr at maximum temperature (158F) - There was NO plastic smell during the 1hr dry run. The unit was then used, in a single run (8 hr;158F -timed run), to dehydrate 8.0 lbs of soupy meat (soppressata) in order to prepare just under 4 lbs of soupy jerky (it is maaaarvelous!). More about capacity: The total drying surface area measures 6.5 square feet (1.083 sq ft per 12"x13" tray). About 1.33 lbs of rolled soupy meat rectangles (~1/4" thick) fit onto each tray. The meat can be positioned right to the very edge of the tray; meat positioned close to the edge did NOT contact the walls or tray runners as each tray was slid into the drying unit (i.e., no mess!). In order to avoid annoying family members that don't relish the aroma of drying soupy, I set up the dehydrator in my basement shop (the soupy sensitive noses were grateful). In sum, I am a very satisfied customer with a great smelling shop (smell dissipates quickly once the dryer is turned off). I highly recommend the Magic Mill Pro dehydrator with stainless steel wire trays!
