I bought a dehydrator to preserve veggies and meats . I'm wondering if there's a way to keep the trays from getting nasty . I ask because I borrowed one from my neighbor and the trays had a build up of "stuff" that had been processed in the unit - mostly residue from making jerky . Cooking spray ? Line the trays with screen or hardware cloth ? Cheesecloth ? Or did he just not clean his properly after use ? This unit has a fan plus the heater , Nesco model FD-37 400 watt . Supposed to process a LOT faster than the straight convection units . I'm going to try some tomatoes early next week , and probably some deer jerky this weekend .
