Laura McDonough says: 2 years ago We bought one around the Y2K crises which never happened, ended up using it some, then selling it. I will not clutter up my place with useless crap of all kinds in the future, me and friends said (been there done that).

I will place a piece of parchment over the baking sheet and add another layer of fruit. After it is frozen solid, the fruit can be taken off the tray and placed in freezer bags if needed.

The current and emerging food crisis in the United States has millions of Americans very concerned about the future. From supply chain shenanigans to food processing plants “inexplicably” being compromised to bird flu decimating the poultry industry, it’s pelo wonder there has been a sharp rise in the “prepper” food industry.

In fact, my son’s friends often comment that they wish they could have his freeze dried meals rather than whatever they are eating!

The good news is, their collection of home freeze dryers for sale are high-quality and possess so far delivered great results across a wide spectrum of buyers.

In freeze drying technology investment, a business needs to factor in its productivity, dependability, and industry regulatory compliance. Collaborating with pharma machinery manufacturers or freeze dry manufacturers allows the business to obtain high quality freeze driers which improve production processes as well as product stability.

The Celiac diagnosis was the real catalyst that made up my mind to purchase a freeze dryer. I can now freeze dry my son’s favorite homemade gluten-free foods as well as a few pre-made gluten-free foods that are safe.

The unit can also connect to and communicate the freeze dryer cycle data to a nearby PC through an ethernet cable.

A couple of other points: There are obvious and easy improvements that could be made, such as using a container with a dispensing faucet (think of a lemonade jar, for example). Also, for the technically savvy, Automóvel-mechanic-type person who may be wondering about it, there is an anti-backflow seal that has to be removed from the oil filter, but that can be removed by cutting through it and pulling it out with needle nose pliers, which is easily done.

I personally have a medium Harvest Right Freeze Dryer and love it. I actually wish I had gotten the large! But for our family of 4 (almost 5), it’s a perfect fit, we have it running constantly and fill bins full of homemade freeze dried food.

Lean meats work very well. Meats can be freeze dried either raw or cooked. If you are processing beef or pork, be sure to remove as much fat as possible first.

5 Posted September 16, 2015 Thanks dsheidt. I was afraid that the AN8 fittings I could find might not be long enough to provide the space needed so that the oil could flow over the top of the filter, especially given my "disk" method of holding up the can.

It definitely helps to have a freezer nearby. You’ll cut time tremendously by freezing the food first rather than having the freeze dryer do it. It’s also cheaper.

And therein lies the best piece of advice I can offer on this topic: Keep your freeze dryer running. Downtime is wasted time. Some items take a get more info while. Others are quick. But keeping the freeze dryer going almost non-stop is the key to getting the bang for the buck.
