    Really good idea for the pizza I'm going to do that thank you. On a side note $2.78??? I just looked and it is $4.97 now 😮 I can't believe some people would actually vote for Harris and Walz!! Harris hasn't done a dang thing since she's been in office and I had to leave Minnesota because Walz destroyed my family's life. If you feel like you have to vote for Harris and Walz because you hate Trump, do us all a favor andjust stay home.

    Oh no! I have several bags if grilled chicken and strawberries that were cold when I bagged them. I had condensation on the outside of the mylar bag. That was several days ago. I opened one a few minutes ago and my chicken was still crunchy. Do I need to open all these bags and put them back in the freeze dryer? Are they ok? I pray I didn't just ruin all our food.

    • @FreezeDryingMama
      @FreezeDryingMama Місяць тому

      I hope it's okay. I'm not sure if they're good or not. I have a hard and fast rule that it has to be warm going into a bag or jar, but that doesn't mean your product isn't good! It's still crispy! It's gotta be good, I'm hoping it's good!

    You didn’t dab the oil off the top with tissue? You know oil don’t freeze dry. And did you pre freeze first, because 38 hours is kind of short time if you had the freeze dryer doing the freezing. Good luck

    Pretty sure chili is the sauce and carne is the meat and frijoles are the beans. You made chili con carne y frijoles. I too am keto, so no beans in my chili (husband can add them before eating). How does your keto mushroom soup freeze dry and then reconstitute? I have freeze dried my chicken spaghetti (using spaghetti squash) with homemade mushroom soup, but have not reconstituted yet. Am enjoying your videos. 🙂

  • @lizchilders4154
    @lizchilders4154 6 місяців тому

    Have not freeze dried spaghetti squash or Brussel sprouts, but will definitely put them on my list to do so. Will do some meatballs too. I eat keto as well, xso I love those veggies. Your kids are adorable and so helpful. Thanks for sharing your video. I made a cauliflower kielbasa soup the other day. The remaining half of my soup is in a tray in my freezer to freeze dry later. I have apple slices in the FDer currently. I sprinkled some cinnamon on top. One of my SILs and the all the gkids love them.

    My batch finished early this morning and the trays were cold. Long story short like others here, I realized I cant bag cold. I have a new oven with a dehydrate option, so the ttrays are in the oven at 150.

    Hi, I have an issue. I hope you can give us some advice. So, here's the dilemma. I need immediate advice and help or else my 10 L of milk that I freeze dried will go to waste. How do you add time to the freeze dryer after you cancel your cycle completely? We freeze dried milk, and my husband let the cycle stop. It's been stopped for hours and completely cold, and likely has excess moisture again. It was sitting in a cold chamber with the ice for hours. It definitely is not as dry as it should be prior to packaging. How do I heat it up and extend the drying cycle for a few hours to get the last of the moisture out? He has no idea about freeze drying and went and shut the cycle off completely. He didn't put it on defrost. It's completely shut off with ice sitting in the chamber. Please, can anyone help me salvage this milk and tell me how to add more drying time since it's completely shut off now? Do I have to start a brand new cycle again and do this all over? I can tell you for certain that there is some moisture back in it. It was sitting in the chamber for a few hours when he removed it. UPDATE: We didn't get any answers quickly enough, so we had to make a fast decision on what to do. We ended up putting the cool powdered milk into mylar with O2 absorbers. It was really powdery and dry. No sign of moisture, but it was cool when we bagged it. My freeze dried milk is now all in mylar bags with O2 absorbers. It is crushed up into powdered milk (I put it in mylar bags and then carefully squeeze the bag against my chest to "crush" the freeze dried milk into powder to get more powder into each mylar bag. If I don't do this, it just kind of stays in small chunks, taking up space. If I put this powdered freeze dried milk in the freeze dryer again, will it hurt the machine? It's literally powdered milk now. Can I put the powdered milk back on trays and place parchment paper over each tray to keep the powder from going into my machine? Is putting parchment paper over the top of each tray of the powdered milk enough to keep this milk powder from going everywhere in my machine? I don't want any milk powder going into the air and into my pump. Is that a possibility or will it be fine? The finished milk had an extra 10 hours dry time that my husband had added over and above the regular dry time recommended. It would have been really dry when complete, drier than usual. Is it really that serious that we bagged after 1 hour of the FD shutting off after it finished the cycle? If it really is serious, I will do it again, but I just don't want to potentially ruin anything in my freeze dryer by putting literal milk powder that is now all crushed up back into my machine. Will this hurt it at all? IS the milk I put in mylar safe? What would you do if you were in this exact situation? I wish I would have just left it on the trays, but we had no room in our deep freezer to put them back in for the milk to refreeze, and it would have taken 12 or more hours for the freeze dryer to manually dethaw. We didn't know what to do, and we thought it was okay to bag cool (it wasn't cold, just barely cool). The cycle had just finished over an hour before my husband got the trays out of the machine. Ice wasn't melting at all. Milk powder wasn't warm anymore, and the trays were cool to slightly cold. The milk felt slightly cool to the touch. Absolutely no sign of moisture. It was really powdery when packaging. Thanks, again.

    We have been doing freeze dried cheese for some time now...we prefer the block cheese and shred it ourselves... as the shredded cheese has cellulose (wood pulverized) and a antifungal that is used to treat pink eye...in the mix..NATAMYCIN not what we want to ingest with our cheese. Plus, it tastes so much better.

    When I shred my cheese, I LIGHTLY dust the cheese with corn starch...it helps to keep the shreds as separate shreds. Grocery store shredded cheese keeps separate by cellulose or potato starch.

    Great video! I've been freeze drying for almost two years now, but I'm always looking for new ideas. I love FD cheese, too!! I recently learned how to rehydrate shredded cheese back to normal, and there's no going back. Lol You lay it out in a single layer on very damp cheesecloth (but not dripping wet) and let it sit in the fridge for a least a few hours, up to overnight. Unroll, shake it off the cheesecloth, and viola!
