Amanda, you video is just packed full of information and a great reminder on why to follow Angela's Freeze Dried February. I have been purposely enjoying last year also. Every Collaborator has such valuable and different information to share. The processes you have shown has made me think about the many options with freeze drying cheese and uses.... even to powder or not and when. The additional things you shared about your learning curve will be invaluable to so many. I have been trying to get educated during my saving for a freeze dryer and I just can't wait to use all that I am learning from you all. Thank you.
CLARIFYING- it is 50% off a freeze dryer! Thank you for this great video on cheese, I am sure everyone is very excited to see this! I appreciate your participation in #freezedriedfebruary … now I am off to make some mac and cheese! PS- live how you explain the “dry time” and anticipation of the bar!
Great information!! Buying these freeze dried foods are so expensive seems purchasing the freeze drier is the best in the long run! Love this recipe looked wonderful! 😊❤
That looks terrific! I have all of those shelf stable/ freeze dried ingredients. Think I know what I am making for Sunday breakfast. Appreciate your sharing! 😊
Amanda, I really enjoyed this video. I must have been under a rock or something but I hadn’t heard about Freeze Dry February! Now I have to binge watch all the videos! lol….but yours was very informative…step by step. Thank you for that! Looking forward to freeze drying our cheddar now. ❤️🧀
Your daughter looked so happy! I’ve got a 2022 4 tray medium. My cycles seem to take a lot longer than the PRO models. I did a batch of grapes that took 70 hours, pineapples took 60+ hours.
Thank you for explaining the cycles of the freeze dryer. Very informative. The macaroni and cheese looked good. That powdered cheese would probably be GREAT on popcorn! I remember when my girls were younger they would occasionally be allowed to go to a fast food restaurant and get shake-um fries. Fries with a powdered cheese shaken on them. They loved them! Their adult selves would be OVER THE MOON excited if I were to serve a homemade version for them now! Ahhhhhh nostalgia…. 😊
I never though to grind up cheese and make into powder. That’s what my g-kids are used to! (Snd I didn’t know you could freeze cheese) I’ve learned several things. And the time involved with the free3 dryer is important to know before buying. Thanks for all the information!😊
Wow if I only had this option when my children were young. This is such a game changer!! I’m so excited to watch all the videos on this wonderful machine. I’m very much considering on getting one. So many options to explore Thank you. Who knows maybe I’ll be the winner of The Harvest Right😋👍
I haven't tried freeze drying cheese yet. I was a little concerned about the rehydration. I wouldn't have thought of powdering it. Thank you for showing this.
Freeze dried cheese could be the ultimate luxury. What a fabulous idea! Point of clarification. 24 hours extra dry time works finish at 2am the next morning, too,.... So are you interrupting it when you have time and taking it out? Can you show how you do that? Thx!
Thanks Amanda! I have been thinking about cheese being my next freeze drying project - this video helped me decide to go forward with my plan! Appreciate what you shared!
My daughter LOVES boxed mac and cheese, but it is filled with so much junk. Thank you so much for sharing this idea-I can't wait to try it in our home! :)
This will be a staple for my freeze dried pantry shelf. Cheese on everything! Potatoes, broccoli, pasta dishes of all kinds. Thank you for describing the machine’s process. My family asks questions about how it works and this will help me answer them. There will be zero future purchases of packaged grated cheese for this family or boxed and processed mac and cheese. 🧀
Thanks for the information, advice and suggestions! I don’t have a freeze dryer yet (hopefully one day) but I’m finding that so many things I am learning in this collaboration will be helpful in my dehydrating efforts! Thank you so much for sharing! 😊
What do you clean your freeze dryer with? Also thank you for the breakdown of the process and the drying time. So informative, I learned something new!
Mac n cheese is a favorite around here for my adult kids AND grandkids ❤. I'm more into serving it baked. I'm thinking of a full weekend making homemade Mac n cheese and then portioned freeze dried packs for quick oven heating.
Thank you for this. I just recently got an awesome deal on a Harvest Right only used one time---this was very informative. I'm excited to get started on my freeze drying journey.
You are a wealth of Freeze Dryer knowledge. I understood more about what is freeze drying process and some possible stumbling blocks. Thank you for sharing
You did a great job explaining the freeze drying process. The customize button was a good tip to set at 24 hours. Using the cheese in powdered form to make Mac and cheese looked easy and much healthier for you. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your Mac and cheese, looks yummy 😋 I appreciate how you took your time to explain all the steps. I’m waiting on the electric wire to be put in to start my new freeze dryer. I can’t wait. Your video really explained a lot of questions I have. Thank you again and have a blessed day!
So many great tips and information on freeze drying, Amanda. Love mac n cheese, so seeing a very practical and common food application is wonderful. A freeze dryer is on my eventual "have to have when I have my homestead" bucket list so I love to learn in the meantime. 💚🧀💚
Wow first time I have watched your channel. I was blown away by all the bits of knowledge you put into your videos. For those of us how are just starting the journey into freeze drying. I am hoping to get one in the next few years and I know I will be going back and rewatching your videos. Thank you so much for being a part of freeze dry February.
Wow, you gave a lot of information about the cycle of the freeze dryer that I have never heard. Like many enjoying the collaboration, I too, would love to have a freeze dryer. Hearing little details such as those you have provided here are so helpful! Also, I was wondering if you were going to powder the cheese… And yes you did! Thanks for sharing the entire process.
A freeze dryer is on my wish list and you’re right I’m learning so much from this collaboration! Like freeze drying cheese! I love cheese so I could see this having so many uses!!
Thank you for sharing your cheese freeze-drying process. I have not (yet) invested in a freeze dryer, but your very informative video helped answer a lot of questions!
I’m definitely going to freeze dry cheese, just to free up space in the freezer. 🤞🏻 I’ll freeze dying soon. Thanks for showing it in the dish of mac and cheese . P.S. such a cute taste tester.
I try to keep (non-processed) kid-friendly food in my house for when the Grandbabies are there but half the time the things expire in between visits. This is going to be perfect for them! Thank you!
I have a bunch of that frozen cheese from Azure too! So excited to see how I can make good use out of it for the picky eaters. Who doesn’t love Mac & Cheese? ❤ Awesome instructions on how to use the machine! We don’t have our freeze dryer yet, but super helpful. Thank you!
This is a great video. We use so much cheese. I am saving up for a small freeze drying and I'm almost there. Your videos will be so helpful when I get mine. Thank you for all the tips and information.😊
Great video! I’m gluten free so my Mac and cheese is really $$. Love the idea of making my own freeze dried cheese! Thank you so much for this… another idea on my todo list!
Thank you for so much your very informative video. and being a part of the collaboration. I would absolutely love a freezedrier but its just not in the budget right now so I buy it.
Such great information, I put off making Mac and Cheese But now I am ready , Your a good teacher and with your daughter as the taste tester this is a winner in my book, Thanks for your video!!!
Since I don’t have a freeze dryer yet I usual just shred and freeze excess cheese. My daughter is going to get a freeze dryer so I will be sharing this knowledge with her. Thank you for your video.
Thanks so much. I have only had my freeze dryer for 7 months so I definitely am still learning. I actually just loaded mine up today with that same cheese 😊
I have shredded cheeses in my Thrive Life pantry but want to do my own. I never would have filled my trays that full. Good to see someone else do it to know it works. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for all the extra info in your video! I’ve been watching videos for a bit now and you’re the first one who said to set the extra dry time to 24 hours. Thank you!!
I was on pins and needles waiting to see what the freeze dried cheese would look like. Amazing! Thank you for sharing the process including your planning for mac and cheese in the future.
Good morning! My husband and I are considering a freeze drier but we are empty nesters and I am curious if you think it is something we would get our moneys worth out of? Thanks!
I moved my freezer with us, but I still don’t have a dedicated circuit in our new home. These videos are giving me so many new ideas! I can’t wait to get back into freeze drying!
I am new to your channel with doing the freeze dried February. I love the way you take time to explain to those of us who are new to freeze drying in easy to understand terms. Look forward to to watching more of your videos.
Quick macaroni and cheese is a great idea. I have a college-aged daughter, and I can see making packets for her to quickly make up a dinner or snack. Thank you for doing the creative thinking for us!
Thank you so much! Not only am I going to use it for Mac and cheese but for cheese sauce or tuna casserole. Husband and I plan on traveling some in the new year. Great to save on space in refrigerator and make meals quick and easy.
Thank you for sharing this video! We love cheese.
Thank you for the suggestion about setting the extra dry time!

Love watching about FD cheese powder, but also didn’t realize one could freeze cheese without wrecking the texture…. Bonus info!
