Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

A honest comparison of Dehydrator sheets. I tried to take photos of the different dehydrator sheets I have purchased over the years. The best quality for the Excalibur is the sheets sold by the company. You can get them for less at Harvest Essentials. Out of the sheets sold by Excalibur, the newest, thickest one is the best quality. They have the brown band around the edge. The photo also shows an older thinner Teflex sheets. They are around 20 or more years old and still work fairly well. Some were lost in a move, so I replaced them with the generic ones sold on Amazon. I have two batches of the Amazon variety. The one that is about a year old is fairly thick, like the Excalibur sheets. What it lacks is the slickness. It worked for about a year. Food started sticking to it. They are wrinkled looking from washing. In comparison the Excalibur sheets are still slick, non-stick. The newest ones from Amazon were used once. They are so thin. Its like trying to wash a piece of plastic wrap. As a result they are wrinkled. They are terrible to work with. They are so light they don't stay in place when spreading out stuff like wraps. If you don't cover every square inch with food, they flap in the breeze from the dehydrator fan. They are going into the trash. The feel like use once and toss. I have not tried using parchment paper. This is an example of what you pay for is what you get. Excalibur makes a quality product. 1st photo new sheet. 2nd photo is a 20+ year old sheet. It's still in good quality. 3. The newest generic Amazon dehydrator sheet. Very poor quality. Sure to frustrate the most dedicated dehydrator. 4. Dehydrator sheet thickness sided by side. Excalibur and generic. Generic is very thin. Not very slick. 5. Excalibur to Excalibur sheet. I had purchased these sheets hoping to save money. Instead I found it a waste of money.
