Great job! You saved at lot more $ than that. If you divide the cost by oz, you figure how much you paid per freeze dried oz. Yours was less than $0.09 per oz... Amazon was just under $1.37 per oz. Also you had 20lbs start weight.. the Amazon container would only reconstitute to about 11.57 lbs (guessing that the original potatoes were the same.. and also excluding the energy cost). Regardless.. this video was exactly what I needed to see. Thanks!
Lol. Good job on cost figuring also once the #10 can is open they food slowly starts to rehydrate/reconstitute so time is ticky. So by doing it yourself ,you control portions and not having to worry about waste. Thanks for watching
Actually he said he was doing 2 5-lb bags
@@evalynnholt5816 I did do 2 5lb bags.
My bad! I misheard 😊 Pretty sure he still wins.
@@mariaha3844 5lbs 10lbs. Pre weight post weight. It doesnt mater. I saved a bunch of money. And was able to share it so others may learn and hopefully save money too.
Even if it costs a little more, I don’t freeze dry to save money. I freeze dry to save food for when it is not available at any price.
That's Great reason too.
Exactly!
Exactly
Excellent! I do it for the same reason. Bank failures and Multi trillion dollar bailouts equals hyperinflation. If food is availabe will we be able to afford it? Over 50 food processing plants burn down, Bill Gates the largest farmland owner in the country. Multiple train derailments polluting the land , air and water. Keep on prepping!
You can load frozen trays of food and then push start and the cool down is much faster
Yep. I did a video on that little hack. It cuts down on time quickly
Great video. I love vidoes with the numbers 😊
Numbers always help. Thanks for watching.
Potatoes are at least $5 for 5 lbs here. You did a great thing.
I usually try to buy items on sale. And as much as I can to save for later. Anything I freeze dry I put up for a rainy day.
Great video, thanks for sharing
Thanks. This is my most viewed video. It is also my most informational too. I guess. Lol.
Great information, thank you for sharing!!
Please offer a link to the stack corners
Sorry I don't have one they were gifts.
Hello and thank you To everyone who has watched this or will watch it. In this video I freeze dried 10lbs of potatoes! That I only paid $2.60 for!!
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching. Hope it helped!
Thanks for the back on prefreezing. I'm still trying to figure out what all the times are on my machine!
Welcome. Thanks for watching. Everything will FD at different times. I prefreeze everything plus I have stuff ready to go. I keep 3 to 4 batches in the freezer at all times now I do have a very big freezer too
they are now in 2023 5.50 for 10 lbs.. thx joe bidum
Right.... I'll never get taters for that price again
I want to try them!!
Yes, FD'ing is a great way to save huge amounts of money over buying the commercial FD #10 cans... HOWEVER,.... be aware that not all is great.. The FD units.. coming to you from the factory.. dont always work great..out of the box, or they do for the first few batches, then problems start. Yes, a few people have success right out of the box.. but a HUGE number of customers experience the dreaded INADEQUATE VACUUM error. This unfortunately entails you, the customer, to do some repair work.. WORK DIRECTLY WITH HARVEST RIGHT on this.. so you dont void your warranty. Vastly, it ends up being a solution of re-taping joints and or faulty hose or faulty valve. Definitely work with HarvestRight on this if your unit is new/under warranty. Not sure why Harvest Right is still shipping units with this issue, as it's NOT A NEW ISSUE..it's been a problem for a long time.
I've had mine for two years. One problem I couldn't fix without harvest right's help the other were my mistakes that I fixed easily
Great job on freeze drying, only thing I would not have done is cut the mats in half as they are made of glass and they say do not cut because of that.
Thanks for the hack. I'll do that in my next batch. Do you have a hack on defrosting?
Thanks for the great question Turn off the machine and open the door. Or a hair dryer or put a fan in front of it blowing into the machine to move the air.
I think I've used defrost mode maybe 2 or 3 times in the 8 months I've had my machine. I usually just leave the door open.
Just by the 7x7 and that will fill the tray almost up. The channel Schoolreports does it and uses two 7x7 plus he divides one to fill one tray completely. Check him out.
Our local Krogers had 10-lb bags for $1.99. We grabbed 5 of them. First batch quartered and sliced a little more than 1/4" thick, blanched, and pre-frozen. Took a tick under 24 hours to freeze dry, trays were packed fairly full - enough left over that we had fried potatoes for supper - ha! They came out beautiful! Tasted one for the heck of it, not bad! I saw a hack for pre-freezing the next batch when your trays are in the freeze dryer - use quart zip lock bags. Fill them and lay flat on a cookie sheet in the freezer. Two fit really well. I haven't done it yet - a bit busy with Thanksgiving preps right now. After that, planning on doing hash browns and mashed potatoes (just mashed with no butter or milk). Have you tried bigger potato chunks? Like for use in stews? I've had my freeze dryer for 3 months, still learning! 100% on cost savings! And it's getting harder to find a variety of store-bought freeze dried items. My fav trials so far: chicken fajitas and chili mac. One last thought (sorry for babbling): husband is pre-diabetic, controlled with meds and diet. Freeze dried fruit helps so much with his sugar cravings 👼
That's was an exciting read thanks for that. Love the fact that you comment hummm where to start. Quart size bags are amazing. Also you can get brownie trays from dollar tree if you have them. I've done whole baked potatoes cut down the middle. And you can put milk in the mashed potatoes it'll FD! A low fat milk. If there anything I missed. I'll add more or just remind me or ask again. Congratulations on having a harvest right. One the best investments I've even made. Thansk again
@@blueoutside3394 Thank you! Saved for 3 years to get the Harvest Right. Our garden harvest provides most of our veggies through the winter. Freeze drying is so much better than dehydrating!
@@gsdalpha1358 I waited 6or 7 years for mine. And yes its way better than dehydrating!
Hello, if you haven't heard of Dr. Eric Berg on youtube, he promotes the healthy Keto, has thousands of videos, I think the changing of the metabolism from burning , carbs , sugar to fat Ketosis can reverse diabetes.
I don't have a food processor I just got old school chapomatic
As long as it gets the job done. I should probably look into something like that
Great haul, well done :)
Well, your figures aren't entirely accurate because you didn't add in the cost of storage and electricity. But I agree, doing this process yourself is a big cost savings. You'll eventually even pay for your freezer dryer. Good job on your video -- very informative.
So I add $5 a batch and I still come out way ahead. And I've paid for my machine already twice over at least
New Sub here, I am waiting on my freeze dryer to be delivered. I very much appreciate you showing us the cost difference. Thanks Again.
Thanks for the sub! Congratulations on your FD and let me know when you get it. And with the cost difference I didn't add electric but still you come out way ahead. Thanks again !!
@@blueoutside3394 way ahead for sure. They are 8 to 12 weeks behind on the FD, I should get mine in February. 🤞
@@fitzpreacherfarm6826 I got mine in half of what they said. And if you grow your own food. It happens even faster. I've probably paid for mine 2 by now.
@@blueoutside3394 we grow our own food here as well. We can and dehydrate as well. I have a high tunnel green house in the works as well. I thought these were a good investment.
@@fitzpreacherfarm6826 good. We grow a garden and my mom is a big canner. You won't dehydrated any more. Lol. Check out my waste video. You won't be throwing anything away
Something like this would be good for the coming days. Show a ton of potatoes and freeze dry them. I'm sure we will have more shortages and my family will do good on potatoes. Haha.
I agree. I've got a bunch in the garden. Plus we gonna grow alot of radishes too they can be cooked like potatoes plus the green tops are good too. Plus they grow quickly. So radishes plus potatoes I think we'd be set. Thanks for watching ad the comment
How do they taste compared to regular potato chips
Nothing beats a good potato chip lol.
What does one cycle cost you in electricity
I honestly don't know. The area I'm in the electric company offers a budget to keep my payments low. The problem is I'm total electric with everything.
Your math is horrible. You saved 20.66 on the first 17 oz and you got 12 oz free. Take your cost and divide by ounces. To both products. So yours are around 10 cents an ounce and theirs are about 1.40 and ounce( i didnt do any math just guesstimated. So, you made about 40$ of thier potatoes for about 6 bucks when you add electricity. Saving 34 dollars... otherwise, great video
what was the cost of electrical used and containers used,that is the total cost
Don't know about the electric. I don't have it hooked up to read the usage and the bags and o2 are about .20 cents each and I used 6 of each. I think.
@@blueoutside3394 Thanks
I found two vids on that. Looks like cost comes to less than $3 per load to dry.
What food processor is that?
It's a Cuisinart
You have to pay for there labor
I get they have to pay for their labor but that's why I do it myself. Another reason to diy and be self reliant.
6:25 no this dude did not put a camera inside the freezer just to show him putting the food in there.
I did. And pulling it out. Only left it in there for a bit.
why use silicone mats?
To prevent the potatoes from sticking to he trays.
Why wouldn't you cook those prior? If your in a desperate time, the cooking fuel and seasoning may be in short supply.
Great question. My thought process was to be able to add them to soup or cook over a fire and try to keep them from getting over cooked. If seasoning is unavailable or in short supply I'll be at the point I'm just happy to eat. And as far as fuel goes , wood is always my final solution and where my locations are it is not in short supply. Thanks for the great question hopefully my answer helps
I'm actually gonna do a video on no grid cooking options
I freeze dry a lot of short term food. Everything doesn't have to be fully cooked or processed.
Plus a $10,000.00 usd Freeze Drier........... ?
Mine was actually $2800. But after 30 to 40 batches it pays for itself
$10,000 may be a commercial grade.
