Does anyone freeze dry out here? Tips needed 👀💜 #asknostr
Discussion
Sounds like a good thing to do, never tried it.
What kind of tips?
Which freeze drier do you have and what has your experience been with it?
What are you freeze drying?
Anything one should know?
Appreciate it 😁
I think harvest right might be the only game in town. I got the medium one and we run it a lot. No problems so far.
We freeze dry lots of things. Fruits, veggies, meat, candy. I just did a load of 90 eggs most recently.
Delicious and healthy snacks.
Eggs! That's interesting do you have a picture of the finished product?
Got mine a few months ago. Still learning but happy to share.
The first thing I noticed was the lack of good content online. Very few people give times and temperatures. Someone could be a YouTube star just by sharing basic recipes and results.
Which one did you get?
And what's your main use case for it?
I got the large Harvest Right.
The main intention was for long term food storage and easy/quick dinners on busy days.
We have progressed to a system where my wife makes extra food for dinner a few days a week and I freeze dry the leftovers the next day. Pot roast, chicken soup, risotto, etc.
So far everything has rehydrated well with good texture and flavor.
As an experiment I ran a couple batches of skittles and gave samples to local businesses I frequent. A couple of them took on the product and we trade for store credit.
My favorite example is a local rancher that sells grass fed beef out of a shed on Saturdays. She’s sold over 150 bags of candy since February and I have over $500 in store credit. I figure I’ll have enough credit for a whole processed beef by November.
What other questions can I help you with?
