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.

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.

Nesco American Harvest Fruit Roll Sheets for FD-27 & FD-50 Review

My mother has these and I used to make lots of fruit rolls with them - lots of fun, and a good treat! I recommend mixing applesauce with (thawed) frozen fruit juice concentrate of your choice to make whatever flavor you like. My favorite was mixing grape fruit juice concentrate with the applesauce. It makes a very deep purple and fruity treat. (Ratio was one can frozen concentrate to a big jar of applesauce. I'll edit my post and add specific sizes soon.)

These sheets allow you to dry liquids and semi-liquids in a dehydrator easily, without a big mess to clean up at the end. Make your own fruit leather with no added sugar or preservatives, it's so easy even a kid can do it (just pour fruit purEe, like applesauce, onto the sheet). You can even dry soups and sauces for future use, which might come in really handy for camping or travelling.

Nesco American Harvest Clean-A-Screen Tray Review

This is a pack of two screens that are supposed to be identical to the one that came with the dehydrator.
It seemed to me they were a little bit heavier weight than the orginal but thats a good thing.
The main reason I got them was for easier cleanup. I like to dehydrate jerky made from a jerky gun. When I would squirt the jerky straight onto the trays it would tend to swell into the grills of the tray. This made it harder to remove and made cleanup a real mess. So I ended up squriting onto wax paper and moving them to the trays.
With these screens in place I can squirt right onto the screen/tray and it doesn't stick hard or create a mess. What little mess it creates is much easier to cleanup since it is on the surface and not in between the grids. For cleanup I leave the screen on the tray and use a nylong scrub brush. Works better than sponge or pad.
Of course you can also use these to dry smaller items that might fall through. But thats not my big concern right now. I'm happy to have less mess.
The only drawback I see is that they are overpriced. [money amount]for [money amount] worth of plastic. Also to make sure you cover all of your trays you have to buy 2 packs.

These 12-3/4-inch screens (a set of two) can be inserted into the trays of Nesco American Harvest's FD-27 and FD-50 food dehydrators to prevent foods such as sugary fruits from sticking during the drying process. The fine-mesh screens are flexible, so they can be curled and foods simply peeled off. The screens are also useful for preventing small items such as herbs and spices from falling through the dehydrators' trays. As a bonus, they're dishwasher-safe.

Nesco BJX-5 American Harvest Jumbo Jerky Works Kit Review

If you or someone you know loves beef jerky and you also love to save money on this wonderful treat - then look no further because this is the extruder you want. Simply purchase ground sirloin with a 3% to 5% fat content, mix in the included two seasoning packets for each pound of beef you use, shove the meat into the extruder, pull the triger and BAM you've just made your jerky strips. I use the superb Nesco dehydrador and in five hours I have turned four pounds of sirloin into many, many strips of excellent beef jerky. Get this kit and make the jerky you love quickly and conveniently. Highly recommended. Enjoy.

Strips of meaty jerky make great snacks for day hikes, canoe trips, or around the camp fire--even at home on a Sunday watching the game. This complete kit provides the tools needed for making great-tasting jerky at home in about four hours. The large jerky gun features a stainless-steel trigger, a ratchet bar, and a see-through meat chamber that can hold up to a pound of ground meat, which will yield approximately a half pound of jerky after dehydration. Choose from three attachments to create jerky strips, sticks, or double strips. Five original-flavor jerky spice and cure packs are also included. The jerky gun measures approximately 11-1/2 by 3 by 6-1/5 inches.
