Spent part of the evening getting some trays of spaghetti and meatballs ready for freeze drying.

One of our friends is due with their 6th child so we are putting some meals together for them.

I'll weigh the tests before and after in grams. To reconstitute, add the difference in weight back in, in milliliters of water. If you want to get fancy with some things you can reconstitute in broth to add more flavor. Just heat up the water, drop in the food, cover and simmer and stir for 15-20 minutes.

The trays start of at around 2400 grams (about 5.25 lbs)

It's made from store bought meatballs and sauce. All we have to cook is the pasta. Then I mixed the sauce and pasta and spooned around the meatballs.

Into the freezer dryer, it will probably take 36-40 hours to freeze dry. Then it's good for 25 years in a mylar bag with oxygen absorber.
