Great video! Explanation was super thorough and I didn’t know candy mode didn’t have an initial dry time. I’ve asked before but never got an answer regarding it until I seen this video.
We haven't had a chance to run candy yet since we have been doing in season fruit and garden produce, but we seem to be winding down now that fruit is becoming out of season and are really looking forward to running some candy. So thanks for the how to, especially with the newest software which we also just updated to. Can't wait to give this a try.
Hmm. Idk why it's taking longer for you. I didn't pre freeze the candy. The only thing I can think of is the initial and extra freeze time numbers not being set to what mine were. If they were, is it possible there is something wrong with the vacuum? Let me know what you find.
Good answer below, I had a tiny screw, leaking vacuum, it was holding the harvest right black plastic lever onto the drain valve. And cycles were taking way too long. Temporarily I would close the drain valve then check/tighten that screw. A hint is your vacuum pump lowers the pressure by only 1 mTor per second when there's a leak. After checking that screw or replacing the valve with an all brass home depot part for $13, now the mTor goes down by 3 per second, with no leaks.
So I don't see a video regarding to how you get the gummy candy work. I like how detail you go on your videos especially on the ma hine settings. I have a hard time on the gummy one. Hope you will have a successful batch and teach us how to freeze dried different gummy candies
your not releasing the pressure you are releasing the vacuum a freeze dryer works by freezing the food then creating a vacuum the heating tray defrost the food and the moisture is pulled from the food.try ice cream sandwiches vanilla or strawberry ice cream its a delight.
Thank you. Not many people share the setting
Nice walk-thru. you didn't miss a beat. Grateful!
Glad you enjoyed it!

I like the new intro!
Very neat to see the new setting at work. So much faster! I also like my taffy in smaller pieces.
Thanks! Glad you like the new intro. Thanks for your support!
Thank you… your 2 hr skittles worked out amazingly
Glad it worked! Thanks for your support!
Thank you and your welcome .. you sure saved me a lot of time
Thank you so much for this video!!
Wonderful and detailed! This helped me a ton. One question - why is there foil on the bottom of your rack? What’s the purpose of that?
The foil came with the rack from Harvest Right. I'm not 100% sure why they put it on.
Why do you cool the trays only to immediately after warm the trays? Is there a purpose to it or can we skip the cooling step?
I'm wondering the exact same thing.
Any idea what the best settings for peach rings?

Thank you this sure helps out a lot.. and soo fast
Yeah, it's life changing.
Thanks! The instructions with the update didn’t explain this well enough!
I have the brand harvest right and I followed your instructions exactly but it still takes way longer than 2 hours. Do you know why?
Do you pre freeze the candy?

This is so helpful thank you

Im so sad i bought the pharmaceutical and does noet have candy mode. Can someone help me ?
Where do you live? I live in Tampa, FL, Im not sure taffy can be done in two hours
Try it and let me know if it doesn't work!
Remember your altitude makes a huge difference with dry time the setting may not work you depending on where you live
your not releasing the pressure you are releasing the vacuum a freeze dryer works by freezing the food then creating a vacuum the heating tray defrost the food and the moisture is pulled from the food.try ice cream sandwiches vanilla or strawberry ice cream its a delight.
Why freeze dry candy?
It changes texture and enhances the taste.
Don't be judgy guys.
