Nesco LSS-2-6 Snackmaster Fruit Roll Sheets Instruction Manual

1. Introduction and Overview

The Nesco LSS-2-6 Snackmaster Fruit Roll Sheets are designed to enhance the functionality of your Nesco Food Dehydrator. This 2-pack of sheets allows for the dehydration of liquids and semi-liquids, such as fruit purees, sauces, and soups, preventing them from dripping through the dehydrator trays. They are also ideal for making homemade fruit rolls. Constructed from high-quality, BPA-free, food-grade plastic, these sheets are reusable and easy to clean.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Making Fruit Rolls (Fruit Leather):

Prepare Fruit Puree: Puree your desired fruit in a blender until smooth. Each sheet can hold up to 3 cups of pureed fruit.
Pour onto Sheet: Pour the fruit puree onto the fruit roll sheet, spreading it evenly to a thickness of approximately 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch. The "No Spill" lip helps contain liquids.
Dehydrate: Place the loaded sheet into your Nesco dehydrator. Follow your specific dehydrator's instructions for drying times and temperatures for fruit leather.
Remove and Store: Once dried, remove the fruit roll from the sheet while it is at room temperature. For storage, vacuum seal or wrap in plastic and place in an airtight container.

3.2 Drying Sauces, Purees, Soups, and Other Liquids:

The exclusive "No Spill" lip on these sheets makes them ideal for drying various liquids and semi-liquids. This feature prevents spills and ensures the liquid remains contained during the dehydration process. For easier cleanup when dehydrating particularly messy foods, consider placing a fruit roll sheet on the empty bottom tray of your dehydrator to catch any potential drips from the trays above.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning Instructions:

To maintain the quality and longevity of your Nesco Fruit Roll Sheets, hand wash only. Do not place them in a dishwasher, as this may cause damage or discoloration over time. Wash with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Allow to air dry completely before storing.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Food Sticking to Sheets:

If you experience food sticking to the fruit roll sheets, lightly coat the surface of the sheet with a small amount of cooking oil (such as canola oil) before pouring your puree. This can help with easier removal of dried foods.

5.2 Uneven Drying:

Ensure that food items are spread evenly across the sheets and that trays are not overcrowded. Proper air circulation is crucial for consistent drying. Rotate trays periodically if your dehydrator does not have a fan that circulates air evenly.
