Nesco MS-2-6 Large Clean-a-Screen for FD-1010/FD-1018P/FD-1020 Dehydrators, Set of 2

A cheaper solution for FD 35s, too.
I got these clean screens for my smaller FD 35 NESCO model since the other size are twice as much money. Great news: you can cut down the screens for the FD 1010 quite easily to fit the FD 35. They work great and I saved a nice bit of money.

Quite useful.
The clean-a-screen is great for drying herbs,flowers or anything sticky.With sticky items,it's easier to clean the screen than it is the tray itself.They're flexible,so you can soak them in hot water in the sink.Another great product from Nesco.

Poor quality control
We have a Nesco Gardenmaster model FD1010 dehydrator and have thirteen trays and only eight mesh screens, which really means we were only using eight trays. Using the other five trays without screens was so annoyingly difficult to remove the dried tomatoes etc. that we didn't use them. We ordered 3 sets of the MS-2(two screens per set) to remedy this non-use problem. The new screens are not the same as the ones we have. The new ones look as if they were cookie-cutter hot-pressed stamped from a sheet of plastic, and only three of the six screens had all the mesh openings completely open. The other three had maybe twenty-five per cent of the openings closed with a residual very thin plastic film on the back side of the screen, as if the press didn't press deeply enough to clear all the openings. These closed off openings are around each of eight equally spaced half inch solid plastic circles that are half way from the big opening in the screen center and the outside circumference...

The Clean-A-Screen fits FD-1010, FD-1018P and FD-1020 Gardenmaster dehydrators. The flexible screen makes for easy removal of sticky fruits like pineapple. Perfect for drying small items that would normally fall through the spokes of the trays;i.e. herbs and spices. Comes with 2-screen per pkg.Increase your dehydrating repertoire with this removable plastic mesh screen from Nesco American Harvest. Perfect for sticky fruits and small foods, this screen dries mangoes and papayas mess-free, and keeps berries and fresh herbs from falling through the dehydrator tray's spokes. Strong, smart, and easy to handle, the two screens in this set have a smooth and a rough side--the smooth for comfortable handling, the rough for easy removal of sticky foods. To remove the food once it's dried, just flex the screen with a curling action. There's a finger notch on each side of the screen for better control. The screens are safe in the refrigerator and dishwasher. --Emily Bedard
