Great for making fruit rolls for the kids and for other messy foods. Exclusive "no spill" lip allows you to dry liquids and semi-liquids. Dry up to 3 cups of pureed fruit on each sheet. Make fruit leather with no added sugar or preservatives. It's as easy as pouring applesauce on the Fruit Roll Sheet. Also great to dry soups and sauces.
Outside diameter is 13.75 inches and the diameter of the inside hole is 2.87 inches. Fits FD-1000 series Nesco/American Harvest and Open Country dehydrators with trays that have an outside diameter of 15.5 inches including the FD-1010 and FD-1018A. These round sheets can also be used in the square FD-80 series dehydrators.
When drying any sweet fruit, either on standard trays or fruit leather trays, release will be improved by drying your food thoroughly, then letting it cool fully to room temperature before removing from the tray or sheet. For particularly sweet fruits such as berries, strawberries or apples (as well as anything you add sugar to), further cooling in the fridge can also be a big help.

I love to dehydrate my fresh chicken eggs..... a great way to assure we have enough in the winter when hens lay fewer eggs. Lightly mix 4 first-day eggs per solid sheet and carefully spread evenly. Use only 4 sheets per drying time. Dehydrate fresh eggs until totally dry (about 8 hours or more). Then pulse in blender a few times and store in sterilized quart jar. All steps need to be as clean as possible.
A 1:1 ratio of water to dried eggs works well. For large eggs use 1 and 1/2 Tablespoons of both dried egg and water.

Does what it's supposed too. I use it mainly to make jerky. I'd recommend this product to anyone looking for a quality dehydrator that doesn't break the bank.
The American Harvest 1018 is a great machine for first time users. Love the stackable trays. It comes with a recipe book that was really handy. I would recommend for anyone looking to invest without spending a lot of money.
I dehydrate all of our meals for backpacking; breakfast quiche, minestrone soup, chili, spaghetti sauce, pineapple, cantaloupe, you name it. I bought this second dehydrator for our summer house to take advantage of all the fresh produce in Colorado.
I've bought three of these over the years. They serve very well for drying all fruits, veggies and herbs. And the folks at Pleasant Hill Grains are very friendly and helpful. They will give you as much individualized attention as you need to be satisfied.
Very Happy with the unit made several batches of deer jerky already. Unit has good heat/fan power, more then my older units. I like that unit comes with 8 trays. Only issue is this unit is bigger diameter than my older unit and trays wont fit in dishwasher for easy cleaning. But really like the product. Cant wait to dry some fruits and pumpkin seeds next year. Won't take as long for making jerky as some other machines.
The Nesco FD-1018A is by far the best dehydrator I've ever owned, regardless of price.
We're drying apples with trays stacked 16 high and they dry as fast and evenly as if we only had a few trays.
I've been drying chiles and tomatoes for years, in a very kludgy homemade dehydrator. It was always a race between getting them dry and keeping them from getting moldy.
Not a problem now. This dehydrator does everything I want it to. Experimenting with sprouted grains, fruit leathers, and can't wait to see what this thing does with a belly full of chiles.
This is a tad larger diameter than the other Nesco dehydrators... which is very nice. We have a couple other smaller ones so we’re hoping to use their trays on this one, but they won’t work. Not a huge issue, just a disappointment.
This model is awesome! Love that the base is metal! The books that come with are are super helpful. It’s doing a better job than the smaller models.
