@@christiangirl133 I leave my freeze dryer at the factory preset 125

@@ChefHat4U thanks for watching!

Would you share temp settings? Candy mode etcm

@@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

@@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 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

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

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.

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

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

Viola, that is a great idea about putting the fruit on top...

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.

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 :)

Yes you can freeze dry miso soup

@@adventuresinfreezedrying thank you !!!!

Thank you for watching! So so yummy. Please let me know how yours turn out.

I see you are an Armageddon fan, so maybe name her Dotty? Thanks for watching :)

I do not know if it will hold up outside in the summer…

Thank you for watching!

Thank you! Wish you the best

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.

There was some liquid, and it will help the meal have the right consistency when rehydrating.

I bet that turned out delicious!

This is for short term to send to my son a college who lives in the dorms :)

Thank you! I wish you the best of luck when you get started

I have found a warmer temp is necessary, the freeze dryer will only warm to 150

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.

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.

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?”

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 don’t need to clean the demister every time…I clean mine about once per year

You won’t regret it!

They are from www.freezedryingsupplies.com I get my dividers, precut parchment OA's, stackers, lids all from them.

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.

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.

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.

That’s a great tip! Thanks for sharing

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.

Thank you for watching! Let me know how it turns out :)

Awesome! Let me know how you like it!
