Side by Side Comparison of: MightySlip vs Nesco

These have solved the problem of having to scrub my dehydrator mesh every time I use my dehydrator! They are so reasonably priced, and the food slides off, or peels right off, depending on what it is. Especially great for tomatoes and strawberries, although the strawberries stained the sheets. The tomatoes didn't, surprisingly. Seem to be pretty strong and I think they will last quite a while. They wash up so much more easily than the mesh.

These are perfect for making fruit leather or roll-ups. We have 10 Great-grandchildren and these are perfect to be able to give them fruits that they love. We also are into prepping for hard times and these sheets fit into our dehydrator and then clean up easily.

Fantastic product. Easy to dehydrate loose food items and liquids and easy to clean.

These are literally 1/10 of the price of the name brand (Excalibur) silicone mats and they work FANTASTIC!! Makes fruit leather a breeze and clean-up of anything we dehydrate so, so easy. I can't even begin to express how pleased I am with these. I've recommended to several friends. Try it--you'l LOVE it!

I listened to another reviewer and tried sheets from Walmart. What a horrible mistake! Just did not work, wrong size, drying took forever, and had to turn items to dry the bottom. With these you still have to turn, but they are much easier to handle and fit perfectly. Most of the time unless I am making jerky, I put one on the bottom rack only to catch spills. These have been used more than a dozen times and while they do have some stains on them, they have no rips or tears. I love to dehydrate food!

These sheets are exactly the same as teflex sheets, just no printed words across the sheets. Work perfectly. Don't hesitate to purchase. This is truely a great deal, you wont be dissapointed.

Fits great in my dehydrater. is holding shape fine with using twice a week. Have not tried dishwasher to clean just do it by hand after hearing it can damage them. But that is not a big deal.

Bought these to make fruit leather (I use Danielle Walker's recipe in Against All Grain). They work perfectly and you avoid the hassle of cutting parchment every time. When done I cut or tear the large finished product into smaller pieces.

I think this is the best product I've ordered through Amazon! I have an Oster dehydrator. The normal "mesh" trays are 13.5" in diameter. These trays are 13" in diameter and fit perfectly on the mesh trays leaving 1/4" open all the way around for air flow. The center opening sits just inside the tray opening. PERFECT!!!!! I am so pleased with this purchase!!!

Just as product description says, have had rolling for two years now and still no issues.

I should have ordered these a long time ago! My friend told me to make fruit leather using Saran Wrap directly on the screen, or to use parchment paper. I struggled with both of these, didn't at all like the results. Finally broke down and purchased these. Love them! So easy to peel off and then transfer to Saran Wrap. Easy clean up. Make the investment in these and you won't be sorry.

Kids can't get enough of apple fruit rolls. Luckily Dad's apple trees had another great year. Peel, slice, cook with water. Mash or puree. Then spread over the trays and dehydrate until it easily peels off the tray. So many opportunities for flavors, adding raspberry, blue berry, peaches, etc. Healthy natural snack for the kids (and me too, ssshhh, don't tell them).

These are fabulous for dehydrating things that start out more liquidy than most (like leathers, crackers, etc.). I only wish they came in larger pieces because my dehydrator trays are much larger than the screens. But they work well and the price is excellent.

Although the item arrived on time, the package was not rigid. This resulted in the sheets folding over on themselves during transit, and creating creases. Serviceable, but still a minor annoyance.

These worked perfectly for my Excalibur dehydrator. I made the mistake of spreading some molasses way too thin on one sheet and there was no getting it removed. For the price I can afford to throw one or two away and order more. All other dehydrating with these have been great. Honey for honey powder is even an easy cleanup. Best word of advise though is the thinner the better when spreading out.Update: the wife ended up soaking them in hot water and what I thought was stuck on forever gobs of half dehydrated molasses and honey came right off. I couldn't believe it.

Can't really give these a 5 unless I tried the more expensive Excalibur brand name ones and found these to equal them in quality, but for what I've used these for and the results I've had, I couldn't see paying the much higher price for the brand name ones. I dried about 12+ pounds of premixed spaghetti with meat sauce and had excellent results in the 9 tray Excalibur dehydrator. The tomato did leave a slight stain on the sheets but, after washing with detergent, rinsing, and drying, I could detect almost no residual tomato-like odor on the sheets. The real proof will be if/when I someday attempt to make fruit leather or dry some other high moisture food that "soaks into" the stain on the sheets. They are waterproof even though they *look* like a mesh that would allow water to pass through.Mine arrived flat in the top of the package with the dehydrator so I experienced no bends or creases in the sheets due to shipping issues as other reviewers report. There is no question that rough handling or accidental folding would leave a crease in them as they appear to be almost like a fine copper weave (but I have no idea what the material actually is). I wish they could be dishwasher cleaned although I'm not sure how you'd position them so that they wouldn't curl up on themselves or stick to each other in the washing process. I cleaned them by holding under running water, washing gently with a soapy dish rag, rinsing off with the running water, dabbing off on paper towels, laying on dehydrator trays, and then running the unit on low for about 10 minutes.I plan on ordering more of these if the need ever arises. If and when this happens, I'll order 1 or 2 of the Excalibur brand to see whether they're worth the extra dollars and amend this review as appropriate. In the meantime, I'll just be a bit more gentle with these than I might have to with the brand name (as other reviewers noted).

These are a must for dehydrating certain foods. When I ordered my Excalibur dehydrator it came with 1 dehydrator sheet which was the Excalibur brand. I purchased these generic sheets at the same time as I bought the dehydrator because I wanted enough for the 9 trays mine holds. In my opinion I think the Excalibur brand might be slightly better quality but they are more expensive than these generic sheets and I'm glad I saved the money. They basically do the same exact thing.While the Excalibur sheets and these generics are in NO WAY are like actual paper, the best way to compare the two kinds is like this: think of parchment paper (not the kind you cook with but the kind you'd write on) and compare it to regular paper. Parchment would be the Excalibur sheet - is sturdier than regular paper, and these generic sheets would be less sturdy- but that's not really a bad thing, just different. Again they're not like paper but just trying to describe the difference between the two in turns of sturdiness.If you put anything on these that has some oil on it, it will leave these looking kind of stained even after cleaning. The Excalibur sheet is more glossy and I can't really see any staining. But again they both do what they;re supposed to do and these are cheaper.

We just began dehydrating this past month. These sheets really should ship with the unit - you need them for anything that might drip. We dehydrate liver and other things for the dogs - thus we need these.Pros:Fit the trays very nicely.Shipped rolled so no creaseskeep the drips off the other trays and off the bottom of the unit.simple to clean - just hot water and soap and they clean right up.Cons:a bit light-weight - the dehydrator can 'flap' these around if there isn't much on there - or when the material being dried gets light.Overall very useful and no issues on this end. These are FAR less expensive that other options and do the job just fine.Hope that helps.

Like this product. Just needed to add more fruit roll sheets to my dehydrator as I increased the number of trays I had. They work as intended.

These are nice when using liquid things in the dehydrator. They don't allow the trays to fit snug when you stack them but with a little maneuvering I can make it work. I dried tomato sauce and spaghetti sauce on them and it peeled right off.

I haven't made fruit roll-ups, but I do use these for dehydrating pumpkin/squash puree. Spread the puree thicker near the outer edges since this area tends to dehydrate faster. After dehydrating my winter squash I pulverized it until it becomes a fine powder, in a coffee grinder. To use the powder, add equal part boiling water and stir. Add more or less water until the puree is the consistency you desire. Great in pies and breads.I have purchased enough of these for each tray in my dehydrators (I have both the square Nesco and an Excaliber).

I was hoping for the older style. Those I received are the newer style with a larger center opening and heavier plastic, which in my experience, tends to warp. My older style sheets are thinner with the smaller center opening and with years of use, they've never warped. I'm a serious dehydrating person. Since I use my American Harvesters (3) all year round, I prefer a higher quality product. The summer dehydrating season is just beginning, so I have not yet had the need for the new extras; they're still in the package. Also, I prefer the older style dehydraters with the motor on the bottom. Since heat rises, I've used 10 or more racks at a time & occasionally rotate the racks. The newer model with the motor on the top, I can only use about 4 or 5 racks; really less productive for the electricity usage.

These two sheets got only 4 stars because they are slightly smaller than the one which came with my Nesco American Harvest Gardenmaster dehydrator years ago. The center hole is also bigger; net result is less product, but not by much. Thicker plastic than the old one. All in all, I don't know why it has taken me so many years to order additional ones!Update: Just did the three plates of fruit leather with the same time/electricity I did one before. No plastic warping like others mention. Love them.

I bought these so more of my trays could have the liquid stuff for drying. It is probably my problem, but I am not really satisfied with making "leathers" using these. The stuff sticks at the edges. Trial and error on my part regarding getting the right depth of liquid/puree for drying so I don't have to use non-stick spray before pouring.I haven't had time to make enough leathers to get to the point where I really like these. I do make a lot of jerky so eventually I think I will be glad I bought extra sheets.

They're OK but i wish i spent little more for excalibur brand, these are adequate but flimsy

Now I kinda think I should've not bought them cos a piece of wax paper would do the job and help fruit leathers to store and unstick it. They fold/damage easily when wash and dry or trying to take the fruit leather off it. But they're the cheapest.

First of all they did not arrive on the guaranteed arrival date, then I was a little skeptical because they are so thin, but they work pretty good. They are easy to wash, they may wrinkle a little which is no big deal but they serve their intended purpose. What I fine not so good is they are so thin that they flap in the back of the dehydrator from the air of the fan, and the fruit leathers are a real pain to get off unless they are over dehydrated. The fruit leathers stick to the surface requiring major effort getting them off without tearing the leathers apart in the process. I will try putting plastic wrap on top because the leathers don't stick to plastic wrap as much as they do these "non stick" sheets.

I bought these sheets because the thicker "lipped" inserts for my Waring Pro dehydrator are ridiculously expensive ($8.95 each), and the dehydrator only comes with one. These sheets are thin, which makes them easy to "cut to fit", but have not figured out a way to put a lip on them. They are probably too thin for that, but for smaller veggies like peas and fruits like shredded coconut, sliced strawberries, and bananas, they work just fine for the price. The non-stick surface works pretty well, and they are not difficult to clean by hand - not a dishwasher item.

I don't think these will last long. I didn't realize I wasn't buying the Excalibur brand, and I haven't had the other brand yet to compare, but they stained after the first use- don't really care that much- but they are now curling up at the edges at that eventually will be a problem. I've used them maybe 10 times now.

In the description of most dehydrator sheets for sale, the sheet thickness is omitted, usually because the sheets are thin, and thin is not a selling point. These sheets are approximately 3 mils (.003 inch) thick. The dehydrator sheets for a few dollars more on Amazon are 5 mils (.005 inch) thick. I ordered both. For reference, a sheet of 24 lb copy paper has a thickness of 5 mils (typical), and a sheet of 20 lb copy paper has a thickness of 3 mils (typical). I have never seen a mil thickness stated for the Excalibur brand Teflon dehydrator sheets, but for generic Teflon sheets, 3 mils is the thinnest I've found and 5 mils is the thickest I've found.These dehydrator sheets have a woven mesh synthetic fabric core, with a Teflon coating on both sides, and are tan in color. The sheet edges are cut cleanly, square, and are not sealed, so water can probably wick into the fabric if left submerged or exposed to water. These sheets fit the 15 x 15 Excalibur trays perfectly. The sheets are made in China and came shipped in a plastic bag placed in the box with other items ordered, not rolled in a cardboard tube. There was no significant creasing or edge damage, just some impact marks that should not affect performance. These are OK, but the next time I buy dehydrator sheets, for a few bucks more I'll go with the thicker 5 mil sheets.

These do not actually fit the nutrichef dehydrator, as suggested. But if you don't mind that, and can stack well, these won't bother you much.

Seem to be a little thin and the side lips not very high. After the first use at 140 degrees they were a little warped. wouldn't be a problem if the material your dehydrating is a thicker consistency and heavy enough to hold the sheet down on all sides, but for a thinner fluid it will perform poorly. the dehydrator i purchased these sheets for did not have any from the manufacturer to compare to but I just purchased sheets for my Presto dehydrator and they are thicker, have higher lips, and have not warped at all.

I like the idea behind these sheets and I've tried several times to make them work, but always with the same result. The sheets apparently don't lay flat enough in the dehydrator to allow for uniform thickness of the puree, so my fruit leather is always too thick towards the center ring and too thin on the outside. This means that in order to get the center completely dehydrated, you have to over-dry the outside and it turns to rock. If anyone has found a solution to this I would love some advice!

Yes they do the job of not having any spill overs if your'e careful, but IMO just poor design. It's very difficult to remove properly dried items off these sheets, and IMO the sides could be considerably higher. They should look at manufacturing wax paper inserts. 3-stars only because as a solid flexible piece of plastic they do what they are intended to do because they don't let things seep through, they're easy to clean. Otherwise not impressed, but I also doubt you'll find better. It's the nature of the beast. Also the Nesco dehydrator I purchased already had a few (didn't say in description, nice surprise) so before you buy these as an add-on be sure you're not already getting some. Love my Nesco dehydrator anyway!

It's okay. A bit hard to get clean entirely. Bought them because I was tired of cutting circles out of parchment paper for my dehydrator to dry herbs, tomatoes, broth to make bullion etc.Maybe after a few uses they'll 'unstiffen' and quit smelling like plastic so much.

These are cool inserts that allow you to make fruit roll ups etc in the dehydrator, but they also bend which is a real bummer. That means whatever you put into them doesn't lay flat so you get a high spot in the circle. That makes whatever you're preparing either thinner, or bare altogether. That's my only complaint otherwise. I tried to make one of them flat by using my home iron and that worked somewhat...but it was a bit dangerous and the results were still lacking. I almost put that bad boy in the oven and then pressed hard on a flat surface to get it to dial in, but....meh....Out of all the ones I have...I use only one of them religiously because it's the best and most flat of them all. But having said all that...I'd still opt to get these as they give you a real convenience..and what are the alternatives?

I purchased these and another set from a different brand and these are by far my favorite. Very heavy duty. Unfortunately 2 of the sheets were damaged and had been cut up. Sending them back isn't an option because I have the undamaged ones in use and need them.

Not as thick as I would have liked.

I don't like it; it is complicated to wash it and product still stick to it. The regular plastic bag is better. I would not buy it again.

I purchased these to make fruit leathers but I had a hard time removing the leathers from these sheets. I have no experience with the Excalibur branded ones, so I can't say whether these fair any better. I ended up using silpats and they worked great.

One of the nine sheets had a big hole cut in it. Quality control was bunk.I needed to use the other eight immediately. Fruit was ripe.Amazon or the vendor should send me another replacement sheet.I can't find a way to connect on the amazon website for what I need. A disappointment.

The first time I bought these I received a wonderful product as pictured. I ordered 4 more sets and received something different. I have included a photo to show that I did not receive what is pictured in the listing.

I don't know that I even got these. The clear ones I got don't fit well in my machine. Not real satisfied.

2 stars because they do fit my machine fine, but as others have mentioned they warped like crazy after the first use.

The quality is nice but they do not fit all dehydrators. I read the reviews stating it fit in the model I use and it absolutely does NOT.

dimensions listed where off by almost and inch making so it didn't even come close to fitting my dehydrator.

Cheap plastic.. they chipped and cracked when trying to take the fruit leather off the trays.

I ordered2 sets of 2 fruit roll sheets. I received 1 set of fruit roll sheets & 1 set of mesh like sheets that were too large for my dehydrator. Rather than go through the hassle of returning the wrong sheets, I just cut them down to size & used them. They work OK but aren't what I ordered.

These simply do not work unless you constantly flip the food you are trying to dehydrate. I have been trying to dehydrate banana slices for over 16 hours with the sheets and very frustrated. Also, the banana slices do stick to the sheets and have to be peeled off everytime I flip the slices. I do not recommend this product.

Tried product soon as I got them....loaded trays and started dehydrator....after about 3 hours the sides of the sheets started to flap up like a waving flag in the wind and the veggies were moved to the center bunching up....after the drying was done I noticed the sheets had stained were the veggies were....I immediately requested a return under the premise of not as described and or labeled "Premium" as they are not even close.Save your time and money and by the real deal "Excalibur Parallexx" Sheets....found on amazon! I Did!

Poor quality. I absolutely got what I paid for in this case. Should have ordered the ones from Excalibur. These are super flimsy, & arrived with creases. They look like laminated sheets of super thin fabric. I expected more of a Silpat type sheet, but these are total crap. Could have run some cotton through my laminator for the exact same effect, sigh...

I am returning this product. The sheets are very thin, and with one use of making jerky they stained completely. I will buy the original parallex sheets from the manufacturer to replace.

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.

I was so happy to receive my Non-Stick Dehydrator sheets. They were at such good price, I bought 2 packs. I thought, there, now I don't have to cut parchment papers any more. However, they worked grate the first time around. The second time I used them, the fruit rolls got stuck on each and every sheet. I don't think I got my moneys worth. Now they are sitting in my pantry. The only time I can use them is if I am dehydrating pieces of fruits. Even then, I spray them with non stick. just to make sue I don't have to spend hours peeling the fruits off. They are useless to me.

These do not look like REAL Nesco. They are milky white, thick, and warped. There are no labels that have a brand stamped. Looks like a bad generic import. Nothing like my other genuine Nesco products.

I bought a food dehydrator and these showed up as an add on item. It lookd like something my kids would like to help make so I went ahead and bought it.It doesn't fit in my machine :(

These do not lay flat, and they has a stinky plastic smell when they are in the machine.

came cracked and very cheap, I am not impressed with the product verses value

Before getting a dehydrator, I made fruit leather/rolls in the oven on a silicone mat. I bought these and figured it would free up oven space... but the fruit leather didn't dry evening and stuck to the tray so much, that I had to waste it all and scrub it off. The tray is good for drying herbs or leafy greens so they don't fall through the cracks, but for fruit rolls, I'll have to go back to using my silicone mats.

I ordered this with my ronco food dehydrater. It was a package deal that ppl that bought this also bought that. This does not fit in the ronco dehydrater and was a waste of my money and time. I emailed for a return and they sent me the same thing that still didn't fit. Not pleased...
