Tips On How To Keep Food Dehydrator Drying Racks Clean

The best method for getting and keeping food dehydrator drying racks clean is to minimize the amount of food, juices and drips that get onto the drying trays. Parchment paper or non-stick dehydrator sheets can be used to line the dehydrator drying racks and prevent food from sticking to them. Dehydrator sheets are especially useful when making fruit leather. Another trick is to spray the food dehydrator drying racks with a vegetable spray prior to drying food. This will help keep food from sticking to the trays. If the drying racks do get sticky, gunky or otherwise caked with food, follow these cleaning tips:

  • Fill a sink with hot water and dishwasher liquid
  • Lay all the trays in the sink
  • Let the drying trays soak in the hot soapy water
  • Use an old toothbrush or other kind of brush to get the food off the racks
