Fruit dryers with plastic trays

Plastic

— plastic is a cost-effective and practical material commonly used for trays in dehydrators. While it may not be as strong or durable as metal, the difference is typically not noticeable during regular use of the device. Plastic trays can be designed as separate compartments with transparent walls, allowing users to observe the contents without disrupting the drying process or compromising the temperature control. However, over time, the transparent walls may become cloudy due to the plastic's susceptibility to scratches. Nonetheless, it takes a significant amount of time for this to become a significant inconvenience. As a result, most modern dehydrators use plastic trays.
