Just finished our first two batches, bananas, and pears. Came out great. I had some questions about temperature and controls; Blue Alpine answered everything. We’re in the height of an East Texas Summer, so I had to add a window unit in our utility room to bring the ambient temperature down a bit. But yeah, so far so good.
My wife needs to drink celery chopped up and blended, we have tried freeze drying it to make it easier to add to her morning drink and it seems to have worked really well. I am also finding that rehydrating freeze-dried foods is a really fast and easy way to make a quick meal.
I LOVE the sweetness of a freeze dried tomato!
I do too, it definitely has a stronger & sweeter taste than store bought tomatoes. I still prefer fresh off the vine "Cherry Tomatoes".
Thank you. I’m a new owner of a Blue Alpine and appreciate you sharing!
Welcome aboard! Let me know if you have anything specific you would like me to freeze dry before you try it.

Sounds great!
@@halroemer6044 I'm having a special room for my blue alpine freeze dryer with windows on 3 sides to get cross ventilation.
Im going to do a lot of experiments. I am always trying to make my stanby recipes easier and a quicker way and more healthy.
