    Default Food safe screen from Home Depot?

    Is there any screen there that I can buy to cut for my food dehydrator?

    Do you mean like a wire rack?
    If so, I would imagine any stainless steel wire rack would work. The issue you'll have is cutting it.

    I have one of those round electric cheapo dehydrators and everything sticks to the hard plastic. I want to buy some plastic screen like window screen and cut it down. I know someone here mentioned getting some but I don't know what kind they used. I was wondering if the kind Home Depot sells by the roll would be safe for food...

    You could buy these.

    I doubt Home Depot would have them.

    I would not count on anything purchased at Home Depot to be "food safe".
    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

    FWIW, I've used regular window screen mesh quite a few times, and I'm still here ;p

    I would like to find a better solution, but it's what I had at the time and I haven't had any problems with it. Depending on what I'm drying, I've cut tray liners from parchment paper before as well.

    I'm not saying its dangerous.

    I'm saying I wouldn't trust it to be safe.

    Window screen tends to be galvanized or fiberglass so I wouldn't trust them.

    Plastic canvas maybe but you would need to find out what material they are actually made of.

    There are plastic food safe screens online (I searched for them last year) but I cant find the links right now. sorry.
