Hey Everyone!
OK! So I just bought my very firt dehydrator,it’s a total cheapo Ronco 5 tray (convex only—no fan) but it only cost me $17! I’m hopeful it will work good enough to get me started and somthing to practice on.
Anyways, I was reading the manual (that was only 3 pages..) and it said you could lay down plastic wrap for the fruit roll up liquid, so I was wondering if anyone knew if I could use wax paper? Just seems like the wax paper would be easier to work with for breads and such, any help would be appreciated!

Wax paper does not work well. Things tend to stick to it.
I would use parchment paper.
Good Luck!
Yeah…the wax paper did not work out at all! It fused itself to my tortillia chips—which were actually pretty yummy from what I could taste…
I’m a little scared to try parchment paper now, isn’t it practally the same thing as wax paper?
What about foil? Does foil work in a dehydrator?
get the “if you care” parchment paper off amazon…it’s a great price and a better product.
I’m trying out foil with a bit of olive oil right now for some oatgroats I’m dying and it is working good for that—but I don’t know if liquid-ey things would come out well or not.
No better not to use wax paper in the dehydrator. For more information, you better check out that post. I explained little in-depth there.
