Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 ok I have soem dehydrator questions: I bought an excalibur (yeah--love it) it didnt come with any teflex sheets...it only came with the mesh trays, so... for doing crackers, chips or any " batter " type recipies...can I use wax paper to line the sheets? Where can I get teflex---im not sure what it is I have the plastic trays from my old dehydrator, one of the circular ones with the hole in the center....and I used that to make corn chips the other night...and it worked, but it took 24 hours. So I am guessing these plastic sheets dont let the air move properly... So what whould be the best, cheapest solution? Thanks! SV <shavig wrote: How about truly raw tortillas? Here's the one I use from Cousen's " Rainbow Green Life Food Cuisine " : 1 C golden flax seeds, soaked 1/2 ripe avocado Celtic salt to taste Water for consistency Blend ingredients in Vita-Mix or blender, adding water to create a smooth batter. Spread 1/2 C batter evenly on Teflex sheets--to a thickness of about 1/4 " and 6 " in diameter. The thinner your batter, the less time it will take to dehydrate. Dehydrate at 95 degrees for 2 - 3 hours, flip the tortillas over and remove the Teflex sheet, and continue dehydrating 2 - 3 hours more until the tortillas are soft and flexible. Remove the tortillas from the dehydrator before they are crisp. Makes ten 6 " tortillas. Shari Quote

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Posted March 22, 2006 I only have two teflex sheets. When I need more, I use parchment paper. I think that things actually dry a little faster on it. Only problem is you can't reuse it, or at least I haven't tried to reuse it.
