How are you keeping the product dry even days later when not in a sealed package? My products rehydrate within minutes (15) of being exposed to the air.
You told how much of everything except for how many cups of zucchini to use for these. Can you let us know how many cups of grated zucchini you used? Thanks.
What are your settings?
Elsa and olaf
Why didn’t you show the actual first time starting it? I want to know step by step how to start it up for its initial run. I’m confused about you opening the door when it was running or was the pump running? I’m still lost.
What will be the shelf life of the freeze dried dragon fruit
What did you set the freeze dryer?
@@christiangirl133 I leave my freeze dryer at the factory preset 125
."😅
thanks for sharing! ❤ stay connected!
@@ChefHat4U thanks for watching!
What settings did you use?
Would you share temp settings? Candy mode etcm
How long are you preheating in the oven?
@@SmoochiesCandies that is something to play with, from ovens to freeze dryers there are too many variables from machine to machine… however you should be able to smash with your finger easily, but the red hots aren’t melted globs either
Thank you for your video. I would like to know setting machine temperature.
@@shuyanyc I use -10 for freeze temp, I prefrezze so no extra freeze time, run at factory default of 125 and always have 24 hours of extra dry time set for convenience
@@adventuresinfreezedrying thank you for your comment back !! Really helpful.
I would have loved to see a close-up shot of you a: breaking and b: rehydrating a piece
So - is this in the basement and would it drive you out with the stench or is it ok
I did it in our basement… as far as stench… depends on your senses…
@@adventuresinfreezedrying I think we will be fine - in 6 years I haven't tried it since Betty's freeze dryer site said her husband said she could never do garlic again lol - I love how you cleaned it
Can you freeze the fresh blueberries defrost them and then refreeze them again before freeze drying to get the same effect as you did with the store-bought?
I have not had as much success with fresh assuming it’s because commercially they flash freeze, and I do not have a flash freezer
We had no idea about the bread run and ran the first batch with chicken, rice, and blueberries. Is it okay to eat them??
I would not. The bread run allows the adhesives inside the freeze dryer to off gas.
@@adventuresinfreezedrying thanks. Too late on the chicken. It was a small serving and I ate it. We freeze dried 4 gallons of fresh picked berries. :( ugh. I hate the thought of tossing those. I have no problem tossing the rice. Rice is pretty cheap.
Does sugar free work better?
In my opinion, no. They are very different textures.
@@adventuresinfreezedrying I really doubt that
@@whatthefunction9140 I’ve done both… aspartame does not have the same structure as sugar… totally different texture is the result. Don’t take my word for it, experiment for yourself and find out. One is crunchy the other is like styrofoam consistency of packaging peanuts.
@@adventuresinfreezedrying and let the communists win? No thanks
You said you rotate the trays? When do you do that and how long
I rotate my trays when my extra dry time is midway. The bottom tray is where a issue is most likely So try a piece from middle tray then compare to bottom tray And then decide if it’s needed You get a opportunity to add more extra dry time at the end of a cycle Hope this helps It works for me
Once I am into extra dry time I stop the load rotate add more dry time for 4-6 hours
Or you could mix it together but save out some of the fruit to put on top so you would have the best of both. Thanks for this recipe. I am going to make it for my grands.
Viola, that is a great idea about putting the fruit on top...
CAT 6:50, hands down best video ever.
Thank you!
Question please. You said how many grams of water you needed but do you know what the weight of freeze dried strawberries you used was? Thank you
I don’t remember. I prepared the strawberries for jam then freeze dried. I kept track of the mass lost during the freeze drying process. That’s what I added back. You can use your favorite jam recipe to know measurements for strawberries and keep track of water loss and add back when to make the jam.
What time did you set you freeze dryer to?
I always have 24 hours of extra dry time set, I don’t always need it, but it has saved me on more than one occasion :)
Thank you for your video. Is this machine possible to use for miso soup ?
Yes you can freeze dry miso soup
@@adventuresinfreezedrying thank you !!!!
I’m definitely trying the freeze dried brussel sprouts! I know freeze dried asparagus is a winner. Thank you for this idea!❤
Thank you for watching! So so yummy. Please let me know how yours turn out.
I am looking to buy one. I will name mine Marsha after my x wife because she was cold which heated me up and drained me dry. She sucked the life right out of me. Great video thanks.
I see you are an Armageddon fan, so maybe name her Dotty? Thanks for watching :)
Can you share the recipe and will that frosting last outside in the summer ??
I do not know if it will hold up outside in the summer…
Thank you for the valuable tip! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for watching!
Great video with good info like those lids I have become quite creative on the past making separation between trays in the freezer Excellent cleaning video something I’ve not seen much thank you for your time and energy..stay blessed
Thank you! Wish you the best
This was fantastic--just what I needed to see! Thank you so much! One quick question is: how often do you recommend completely washing out your freeze dryer?
Personally I do mine after every load… I don’t want there to be a chance that there is any bacteria inside my machine from the previous batch contaminating my next batch.
Nice recipe, I need to add this my my MRE’s. Question 🙋♂️ why add the corn starch if there’s really no liquid to thicken? Don’t know if you’re a “ Prepper “ because what’s going on around the world like me 😉👍. But make sure you have a plan B & C to boil water when there’s no power. Keep up the good work 👍
There was some liquid, and it will help the meal have the right consistency when rehydrating.
I made Clam chowder, I substitute heavy cream with milk.
I bet that turned out delicious!
Looks good, but I don’t know how long will it stay good Freeze Dried since you fried it in oil, you left fat on the meat too. It need to be lean. Plus even tho you did just two trays, 20 something hours is way to short to freeze dry anything. Be careful. Remember one thing… just because the machine finished the process, doesn’t mean it’s dry. 👍
This is for short term to send to my son a college who lives in the dorms :)
I love it! Thank you! I hope to start freeze drying soon.
Thank you! I wish you the best of luck when you get started
Can’t you just warm trays in freeze dryer
I have found a warmer temp is necessary, the freeze dryer will only warm to 150
thank you. will definitely have to try them. my friend is diabetic.
Can you use sugar free jello?
Yes, however the texture is totally different and it gets quite tart instead of sweet. Assuming it’s the Aspartame which is horrible for you any way I would recommend trying sugar free Jolly Ranchers if you want a sugar free sweet.
Could a person do the same process with dehydrated strawberries?
I don’t believe so, because dehydrating damages the cellular structure of the strawberries and freeze drying does not. However, I could be wrong. Try placing a couple of dehydrated strawberries in water and see if they become the consistency of thawed frozen strawberries, if they do then this might work with them.
@@adventuresinfreezedrying okay, thank you.
My Grandson makes that from scratch. I took portion leftovers home and froze them. Eventually freeze dried them. Was great for a snack. Not rehydrated.
i looked through both of the books and I can't find this recipe. it isn't in the index file either. How can I get it? P.S. I love all of the recipes you have put on You tube and look for them in the books!
Hi Cherie, Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate them. Since this is a new recipe it will be online only www.freezedryingcookbook.com until the next print volume (volume 3) is released. It will be live on the website tomorrow under the section “What’s New?”
Wow! Would not have thought to FD green bean casserole! This is a game changer. 😁 Have you FD sweet potato casserole? Thank you so much for doing this video.
Judy, I really appreciate your engagement and questions! Keep your comments and questions coming! Not a huge sweet potato casserole fan, so I have not tried it yet.
You didn’t take the filter out and clean it
You don’t need to clean the demister every time…I clean mine about once per year
Looks great. I’ll try this for my husband’s birthday!
You won’t regret it!
Where can I get the tray dividers?
They are from www.freezedryingsupplies.com I get my dividers, precut parchment OA's, stackers, lids all from them.
How much ice do you have when done? I ran a jello batch and had so much ice i had to stop the run at 29 hrs with mT900. I froze them so im going to rerun the batch. If your getting it done in under 24 hrs that is great.
Depends on how full I fill my machine, there are times I’m definitely getting close to the limit.
So filling my med FD is to much?
@@usha777 if the ice is building to the point that the machine won’t freeze dry then it is overloaded.
What does having extra dry time do? Can it ruin the candy or? I’m not fully understanding
You can’t over dry the candy. Extra Dry Time is technically how long the machine will run in Candy Mode. I leave mine at 24 hours to give me freedom for when I’m going to deal with the load of Candy.
The great recipe looks delicious indeed. Have you considered weighing the trays prior to freeze drying then afterword to determine the exact amount of water that was removed? I assume you rehydrated with hot water. You said you have added an extra 24 hours to our dry time, so rechecking is probably not required.
I used to, but for meals I’ve gotten pretty good at knowing about how much water or Chicken Broth to add… I needed 1/4 C more than my guess for this one… because I weighed out what went into each bag, I know from this first rehydration how much to add to those.
I’ve been putting some bouillon in the bag so I only need the boiling water.
That’s a great tip! Thanks for sharing
I would love to make this but does anyone know what can be subbed for the broccoli. I can't eat that but never know what to use for a replacement. Maybe mixed veggies?
Mixed veggies, maybe cauliflower for the texture, extra Bell Peppers… asparagus or even Brussels sprouts
@@adventuresinfreezedrying Thank you!!!! Those are good ideas. I think I will love this and I thank you for the recipe!
@@lyndabuchholz1216 YW! Let me know how it turns out!
@@adventuresinfreezedrying I will try. It will be awhile so I may forget.
This looks great. I will try really soon and thank you.
Thank you for watching! Let me know how it turns out :)
Nice! I’m going to make this this week. Thank you for video!❤
Awesome! Let me know how you like it!
