Freeze dried strawberries are my favorite! Thanks for sharing how easy this process is.
thanks for showing us how to freeze dry strawberries. thanks for all the tips
Your video provided me helpful insights into the workings of the freeze dryer, itself. Something many don't include on their videos. Thanks for that. You also prompted me to think of other ways I might use the freeze dried strawberries, so it was "food-4-thought". Great job!
Thanks for the great information! One day when I get a freeze dryer I will definitely be freezing drying fruit!
I was talking with daughter about fd frozen strawberries. Thanks for the info!
Thanks for sharing! This is one of my favorite snacks!
Thank you for your detailed explanations! That`s very helpful for a beginner like me.
Glad it was helpful!
I Love freeze dry fruit
Thanks for letting me know about the ring on the door. I haven’t started freeze drying yet. I will pre freeze also. Thanks for showing how you stored them. I hope you have a blessed day.
How much additional time did you do for your strawberries? Are you ever concerned about drying for too long?
I can’t remember but I typically have mine set for 8 hours in case it finishes when I’m in bed. You don’t need to worry about over drying.
Love that you reuse the flat lids for this. The strawberries look delicious.
Your video instructions on freeze drying strawberries is full of many little tasks that you do that are so helpful. I absolutely respect that you took the time to explain reasons for the steps that you choose to take and some that you don't, like always pre-freezing your batches, using parchment only when you feel you need it, not having or purchasing the liners, cutting strawberries after they have warmed a few minutes from freezer, and the purchasing of a second set of trays. In doing research into a purchase that is such a large commitment, this knowledge that you share, can save newbie freeze dryer's so much time and money from disappointments and can lesson mistakes. The oxygen absorber going bad is a great thing to share. I haven't used any and truly was wondering how I would know when they are shot! Thank you for taking us to your NOT creepy basement and sharing all of your knowledge on strawberry freeze drying.
I recently tasted a friend’s freeze dried home grown peaches! SO MUCH FLAVOR! It was such a yummy snack! I love freeze dried fruits!
Thank you for sharing. I really appreciated the information on the oxygen absorbers. Thank you.
I love FDing strawberries. We live in a farming community and strawberry farms are everywhere. Springtime, I buy buckets of strawberries. We eat them fresh, shortcakes, jams, and I FD a lot! Love them!
You made a very good point about if the quality of the product your freeze drying should be the best. Quality in Quality out...Sub par product, sub par product out...Very interesting point..Thank you for sharing how to freeze dry Yummy Strawberries
CREEPY BASEMENT- Your point of reference is certainly younger than mine! I like that you have a sense of humor but remember, many of us have live in older houses with basements that are truly creepy. Thank you for the info and consider calling the dryer Esmerelda, if your so inclined.
Strawberries are one of our favorites. Saturday I’ll be getting 2 flats (16 lbs) of Florida strawberries. We just did some strawberry shortcake two ways. One was a small slice of pound cake, a slice of strawberry and a dollop of cool whip. Those are good but the second way is even better. We chopped up the berries and cake then mixed everything together, dropped in balls with a cookie scoop. Delicious!
Thanks for giving general freeze drying tips. Strawberries is one I’m really looking forward to freeze drying.
Thank you for sharing. I chuckle every time you say "creepy basement". That's what I called my grandmother's basement when I was a kid. Strawberries are super snacks, yum. I just tried diced apples with apple pie spice sprinkled on top and I tell ya, they give strawberries a serious challenge for first place. Yum. You had an excellent tip by noting that the freeze dryer won't change the flavor, so start with fresh foods and flavors you like. Good info. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your video. Very informative! My boys love freeze dried fruit - strawberries and pineapple are their favorites. I love that you quartered them quickly - I spent so much time slicing them… it made the process take so much longer. I also enjoy using the freeze dried fruit powdered in smoothies. Thanks!
Freeze dried strawberries are my favorite. Thank you for explaining the oxygen absorbers.
Excellent information. I love this collaboration for learning about freeze drying. Hopefully, we will be able to purchase one by the end of this year. Your video gave me a great many ideas and tips. Thanks for sharing!
First of all your cupboards are gorgeous! Secondly, thank you sharing this video. It was helpful.
This year's collaboration is really pulling me into getting a freeze dryer! I'll wait till I hit a good sale though. Would love to win the 50% off coupon; I definately will get one! I love food preservation.
Thank you for going more in depth on oxygen absorbers! That was so helpful. I really loved this video and your creepy basement ✌🏻
Those look delicious! I appreciate the info on the oxygen absorbers and what sizes you need! Thanks!
My family loves freeze-dried fruits as a snack! This would be a great financial savings. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, thanks for all the tips about freeze drying and storing the items….Strawberries yum!
Strawberries are probably my favorite freeze dried food. I love just eating them out of the can or bag. I wish I had a freeze drier but not in budget. Thank you for sharing and being apart og the collaboration. I really enjoyed your video.
I have lots of strawberries in my garden so this year I will be able to freeze dry them if my freeze dryer arrives in time.
Thank you for explaining the process very thoroughly. Also I want to thank you for participating in the Freeze Dried February collaboration.
Thank you for sharing so much information in a variety of ways. It is helpful. I love your kitchen cabinets. They are so beautiful!
I've never freeze dried any fruit. Thank you for the tips; I never found the need for silicone mats either, and I've never used parchment paper either I'm thinking freeze drying fruits may be a good idea. A much healthier snack than most things.
This was a really good step by step tutorial. I am considering getting a freeze dryer and I am enjoying learning how people use their machines.
Thanks for this video. I’ve had a freeze dryer for a couple years but I’ve learned a lot from you. 😊
I have some berries and tomatoes taking up precious space in my freezer. Thank you for sharing this. Now I know how I can make more room in my freezer!
This just makes me want a freeze dryer even more. I'm a huge fan of doing strawberries like this. I won't hardly buy them freeze dried in the stores anymore because they've become so expensive. I really want a freeze dryer so when I get them on sale I can buy more and freeze dry them. I used to want a dehydrator but that changed when I realized you could buy a freeze dryer and do it at home.
I love freeze dried strawberries!!! You are correct they are so costly at the store. I think they will probably be one of the first things I will try when I get a freeze dryer. Thanks for a very educational video.
You gave us lots of good information in this video. Thanks for sharing. Those strawberries look delicious.
Love how you explained everything so well. Thank you for sharing this and taking the time to go over everything.
Strawberries are one of our favorites to freeze dry. That and pineapple. Both are so yummy. Thank you
I don’t have a freeze dryer yet, but the strawberries seem like a healthy little snack to grab & go! Creepy basement 😂 Thanks for the extra tips on freeze drying too!
I love strawberry with can milk and sugar. I bet the freeze dried one's would be great. Thank you
Lots of good information. It was great that you mentioned what size oxygen absorber for what size canning jar!
Yummie! Thank you for this video. I especially like that you shared how you were able to go to a local store to get a few new parts.
Highly recommend getting extra set of trays, one set freezing and one set in freeze dryer. Hard to keep strawberries they make great snacks. Thanks for the video.
Thank you. I also love freeze dried fruit and yes, they are expensive in the store. Great snack food idea vs. sugar.
Great idea to set up your packaing supplies so they are ready when food comes out of fd!! You are so informative!
This video was great! Strawberries are so lovely so it will be wonderful to have them year round as a snack. Thank you.
I feel like a lot of videos don't actually show the process of stopping and unloading the freeze drier. It's was interesting to see
Love most freeze dried fruits. I will always have some on hand. Thanks for sharing
I can't wait for fresh strawberries! Those frozen ones look amazing after freeze-dried! 😋
Strawberries will be one thing I do in my new to me freeze dryer. They are my favorites. Thank you for sharing.
I have a couple flats of strawberries on the way and wish I had a freeze dryer to do this. I've dehydrated them and powdered them but I bet they taste better this way. Thank you!
Oh wow never thought you could cut when frozen, Love the tips you gave, I love to pre freeze everything also.
you're basement isn't that creepy. I live in Utah now and would love to have a good old cool basement
.
Great freeze drying tips and explaining the process. We love to eat freeze dried strawberries.
Thank you for your addition to the collaboration, I appreciate the extra tips and hints along the way.
I tried some store bought freeze dried strawberries and bananas, eating them out of the bag I was not impressed, are the ones that are done in these freeze driers tastier? I'm really trying to figure out if we would like the end results before I jump in and buy one of these.
I think this is the first time I heard about the defrosting process. Thank you for the in depth look at the process.
How wonderful it has been to be able to view the recordings from this collaboration! I have learned a great deal! TY for sharing your talent!
Thank you for the explanation on which method of storing is best depending on what you have and how long you want it stored
Thank you for all the tips from the machine to doing strawberries!
Thank you for the different tips about freeze drying. It is sounding like two sets of trays are the way to go ❤️
Love the details. I will have a freeze dryer one day and these tips will definitely help.
Thank you❤
I don't have a freeze-dryer yet, but I appreciate the tips you shared. I am saving this video to refer to when I get one.
It’s good to know you can prefreeze and cut down the steawberries to cut down on the machine time
I love strawberries so really appreciate this video. May need to make a plan for strawberry season. :)
I tell everyone that buys a freeze dryer to get a second set of trays! I use my tray lids as trays often because I don’t have a second set yet but I know how valuable they would be. It took me a while to try strawberries but it’s super easy and they are tasty!
Good info on strawberry processing and for the discount code on mylar bags.
Freeze dried strawberries are probably the best thing on the planet! We can eat a years worth of fruit in a week! Lol 😂
Great video, a lot of helpful information. Thanks for sharing.
Your strawberries look delicious and are so easy to prepare. Thank you for sharing your process.
Thank you for being part of this collaboration. The video was interesting.
Freeze drying is fairly new for me but I am certainly seeing the benefits it brings. Strawberries are definitely on my list as soon as they are back in season
Thank you for the reminder that food does not change flavor in the drying process.
I've been wondering how to tell if oxygen absorbers are still good or not. Thanks for the great info!
I love freeze drying fruit. Waiting to get 10 lbs of lemons from Azure soon!

Your video was very informative. Thank you for sharing.
Strawberries is one thing I’m excited about doing as soon as I get a freeze dryer.

I love freeze drying strawberries! They’re sooo yummy! Thanks for sharing how you store yours.
Such a great video! Thanks for all the information!!
Freeze dried strawberries are my youngest son’s favorite. I think we could cover the cost of a freeze dryer with just what we would save in freeze dried fruits.
Strawberries coming soon so freeze dryer will be full for days they are a great snack
Thanks for the video and being part of the freeze dryer collaboration.
I use the weigh method.,I once tried the feel and sight method, I lost a whole load of raw eggs.
