Adventures in Freeze Drying

This channel started by following me learn the basics of freeze drying. Starting with setting up my Harvest Right Freeze Dryer, that first Bread Run, through all of my attempts, successes and failures, as I learned to freeze dry food. As the videos go, recipes are becoming more complex. Candy is being attempted, new recipes I am working on just for freeze drying, as well as using up produce from my garden.

Freeze Dried Queso 2 Ways! Part 1, Making the Queso
Nice demo of how to clean the freeze dryer. One thing I would avoid is the use of isopropyl alcohol as a cleaner since it is toxic. Mild dishsoap and warm water would be a safer choice.
That looks and sounds delicious
You'd probably be better to put paper towels down rather than the parchment paper. Parchment is coated so it wouldn't be as absorbent for the oils in the cheese as paper towels would be.
Too bad the Brussels sprouts did not rehydrate well... but the snack option sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing your experiment! 😄👍
Why are you concerned about the coating? Wouldn’t you be taking the peel off after rehydration?
Would it be ok to use canned peaches? Or would frozen be better if you can’t find fresh?
I think you can used canned or frozen, your results will be similar as usually the store bought canned and frozen peaches are not peak of the season peaches. Now if you have home canned peaches those might be a game changer over out of season peaches. :)
So glad you tried the onions. I wonder if you air fried then the freeze dry them '
Is the meal Spicy? Mild,medium or hot? My husband can’t eat really hot spicy food. Thank you for the video
Hi Judy, This isn't spicy, but you could use a quarter of a green pepper or just omit the pepper if you don't like the flavor of jalapeno.
Glad to see you back.
Thank you, I added a full time job I have to go to on top of running my candy business, UA-cam channel and two other businesses my husband and I run... UA-cam is on the back burner... but I plan to keep putting videos out as I find the time...
Thank you soooooooo much for making this video. God bless you.
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful
Awesome! This helps me, I have 6 pie pumpkins, just pulled two out of instant pot and wasn't sure how I wanted to FD. Thanks!
Glad I could help!
Great video! Straight to the point instructions, thank you 🙏🏽.
You're welcome thank you for watching
Do all dryers have candy mode
All newer models have Candy Mode, if you're model is more than 2 years old, it is included in software updates.
I have NEVER done ANY of this with frozen blueberries. I just take them from the 5-lb box and toss them on the trays. The. End. No problems whatsoever with frozen blueberries.
What temps
I freeze dry everything at factory settings if it's not candy.
spray it
It only takes my fd chicken about 5 minutes with warm liquid to rehydrate...
Very helpful. Thank you!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
What if i over full the oil in the pump?
Simply open the valve on the pump and drain some out. :)
Once you purchase a gallon of oil, does the new unused oil go bad? Does it have a shelf life?
I have not had new oil go bad, ive had a gallon sitting for quite awhile.
I made the mistake of unwrapping on and putting them on a little plate it was a huge chunk when I got back I'm talking maybe 5 minutes
room temp makes a huge difference, I made this video in the winter. Caramels and salt water taffy, really any individually wrapped candy you need to be careful with.
Why didn't you freeze them?
Candy doesn't need to be frozen, you are using your freeze dryer as a vacuum oven
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.
The containers I'm using have a gasket seal on them. Also some products take moisture back on more readily than others.
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.
Sorry, I used 2 Cups of shredded zucchini. :)
What are your settings?
Normal Factory settings with 24 hours extra dry time set as my default.
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.
I have videos of just the set up To keep my videos shorter I have separated them into multiple videos.
What will be the shelf life of the freeze dried dragon fruit
Hi the shelf life will be the same as other freeze dried fruit IF you got all the moisture out of the seeds. I would highly recommend a minimum of 24 hours of extra dry time on these.
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
regular freeze dryer cycle. Jello is not candy and will just melt if you try to use candy mode.
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
@@longhaircountryboy3559 Thats my problem. I keep trying pieces and when its done i'm left with little product lol
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
