A friend gave me her dehydrator, but she doesn't have the owner's manual. I was looking at a bread recipe which requires dehydrating instead of baking - it's a raw food bread recipe. The recipe calls for the use of teflex paper in the dehydrator. I don't have any and was hoping to use wax paper instead.When using a food dehydrator, can you replace teflex paper with wax paper?
Since you asked this in the V%26amp;V section you should know that wax paper is made with wax that almost always contains ingredients made from animals! It is NOT veg-friendly!
You can use lightly oiled baking parchment paper to replace the plastic sheeting without any problem at all. If you can't find parchment paper you can use (abuse%26lt;g%26gt;) sheer drapery cloth. Seriously! That's what we used before those fancy teflon sheets were invented (and I still use it on occasion).
BTW; your dehydrator should NEVER get hot enough to make anything smoke inside it! And the paper or cloth won't blow around because the food will weigh it down.When using a food dehydrator, can you replace teflex paper with wax paper?
it doesn't get hot enough for it to catch fire, but it could smoke a bit which wouldn't be nice, also as it's too light it will make a mess and be blown about inside
You can get the sheets for most the popular models on amazon - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H6WC94/?tag鈥?/a>
that's the one for the excalibur, but if it's a different model these are the biggest sheets and you can cut them easily to fitWhen using a food dehydrator, can you replace teflex paper with wax paper?
Under no circumstance use wax paper, it will mess it up.
