    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.

    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. 💚🧀💚

    @lauranadig6696 9 місяців тому

    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 LOVE how you told us "things you wish you had known" before purchasing your Freeze Dryer. I don't believe I've heard anyone else describe the steps of the freeze-drying cycle before. Now, I KNOW what to expect when we take that big step. Also, good to know the "whys" of pre-freezing to save processing time and the manipulation of your electrical usage to "your" advantage. Thanks for a well-done/informative video!

I really liked all the helpful hints to new users of a freeze drier. I would have a large learning curve also and these hints would really speed things along.

    That was an awesome demonstration of turning cheese into shelf stable shreds and then powder for mac N cheese. Your daughter looked very happy to have your home made cheese sauce on her noodles too. Thank you for sharing the information with us about the extra drying time too cause Nobody wants to hear the machine calling them to take care of products in the middle of the night.
