FYI you can buy an upgrade kit from harvest right for turning your freeze dryer to the pro or 5th tray. This was posted on living traditions homestead site today.
If you keep the original 4, that would be great. Some times you might want a more vertical tray (freeze drying flowers anyone?) and some times you will want to maximize the trays.
Good to for the water bucket Drill a hole big enough to fit the hose at the top of bucket. Place hose inside the whole and the hose won't fall out as well as the hose won't fall into the water. When draining pull out the hose and dump the water into sink.
What are the bad chemicals in magic erasers? The manufacturer, Procter & Gamble, lists ingredients for the magic eraser which include: “Formaldehyde-melamine-sodium Bisulfite Copolymer." That is rated only as a “slight” health risk. It's pretty much only dangerous if “a large amount is swallowed” or it gets in your eyes
I’m not sure…. I am just basing it off of reading comments from other videos I’ve seen it seemed like most people suggest cleaning with isopropyl alcohol and water mixture. But there are so many ways to do this, harvest right just suggests “non abrasive” cleaners. So as long as it falls under that it should be fine!
My Harvest Right manual specifically says NOT to use vinegar inside the machine. Vinegar will pit stainless steel. It says to use isopropyl alcohol or cheap vodka. Vinegar is also harmful to your pump. Thats why you’re not supposed to run pickles unless you soak them first. I’ve only ran 210 loads in mine so far, very little candy. Mostly fruit. I clean my rack and wipe out the drum after every use. It’s over a year old and looks new.
Very helpful. Thank you for the links. I’ve owned my freeze dryer for three years and never used it until this week. I am now hooked.

I love the nature center 🎉
So pretty and fun!
Phil also has a video about how skittles messes up your oil in the vacuum pump. I couldn't find it but it is worth watching!

That’s a great tip! Thanks for sharing I’ll try that
Should the freeze dryer be cleaned after every use?
No just when it needs it or if it’s smelling

how about the smell of garlic still lingering?
I had to leave my window open down there for a while and that finally helped 😂 along with a whole room deep clean

Magic erasers are full of chemicals and I wouldn't take a chance of any residue getting into my food.
We have a pack of coyote behind our house ❤
oh wow! hopefully you don't have any pets they will bother, but they are fun to watch
Your vinegar and water is good.
Jolly ranchers take 150 for me to get them to work.
Ok I will try it!! Thanks
