. We have some really great 'techy' type guys here who are, as they have been exploring the FD mechanics and sharing that in their posts, writing what is turning out to be a 'troubleshooting manual' for us less capable folks.
Adele Faubert Albert was very helpful in answering questions prior to place the order and then with following up on delivery. The unit arrived on the date scheduled even though the tracking notice was not updated once the unit arrived in Canada. The pre-arrival instructions were very helpful as we were prepared once the unit arrived.
Michelle Dubrule I recently received my new freeze dryer in a timely manner and I was pleased with the excellent service. The company kept me informed about any expected delays during transport, which I greatly appreciated.
I want my son to have great meals on Thanksgiving and Christmas, just as the rest of us do. And it’s not feasible for me to cook the entire meal for a huge crowd.
Vic says: 2 years ago Going on a second year with the freeze dryer. Considering getting another one. It really takes commitment, but it is very rewarding. The freezer is good also, but it needs constant source of electricity, and the storage is limited to the size of the freezer.
After buying our freeze dryer I was naturally curious as to how it "knew" when something was done, since batch times varied so much depending on what was being processed. Watching the cycle times didn't seem to tell me anything at first -- especially without a thermometer to tell me what was happening inside -- until I finally caught on that applying heat to the frozen food affected the vacuum, which provided the measure of how dry the food had become.
This is why so many people are buying their own freeze dryers to use at home. The market is essentially cornered by Harvest Right, which isn’t a bad thing since their quality and customer service are both superb.
Foods with lots of seeds can be freeze dried but usually take longer. That’s because the seeds hold moisture. If you’re processing strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, tomatoes, and kiwis you’ll need to add Em excesso time. I like to add at least 12 hours when processing these foods.
Not only does it spread the cost, but it can also increase the amount and variety of the preserved food you store away. Additionally, a group purchase can also lead to purchasing bulk quantities of food to freeze dry.
4. Noise Level: Some models can be noisy due to their vacuum pumps; consider where you will place the unit.
Purchasing a freeze dryer can be an excellent investment for those interested in food preservation, emergency preparedness, or simply enjoying homemade snacks that last longer without losing their quality.
