Latest update
Organs for dog treats. They turn out so well but still gross to handle. 🤢

Chicken for more ramen because I ate all that I had prepared already. Such a good last minute meal.

One batch of chicken eggs and one batch of duck eggs.

Had a little fun with ice cream. I’m not a fan but I did like it in a bowl with milk.

Breakfast scrambles just went in. Mushrooms and cubed potatoes done separately.

Did some more apples because they are the best in my opinion. 😋

Mixed fruit from store wasn’t the best. Now I know to skip it in the future.

Last is my meal for tonight. Freeze dried mashed potatoes and freeze dried ground beef. Turned out awesome and done in about two minutes. 🤩

It’s been a while since an update. Got rotisserie chickens from Sam’s to do the meat and then made stock from the bones and also freeze dried. Turned out awesome! Tried out some smoothie bites and prefer them over yogurt bites. I’ve been working through my canned food storage as well as freezers. All ground beef is now cooked and prepped on trays. Also did tomato sauce and diced tomatoes not pictured as well as rotel and black olives. Today was diced green chilis and whole green chilis.

Recent batch of things. Lemons, limes, oranges, watermelon, apples, and kiwi. Normal settings with extra freeze time and 120° drying temp. Took about 60 hours.

Anyone like avocados and guacamole? 15 avocados mashed will fit on two medium trays. I poured a little lemon juice over them while mashing and then smoothed out in trays. I’ll pre freeze these to keep the color. They were on sale, so I grabbed three bags. Great way to take advantage of sales.

Finally got to the ramen jars! So amazing. Adding a little of this sriracha was the best.

Cheater way to freeze dry. Buy frozen vegetables when they go on sale. Ready to dump on the tray and start. 0°F, 2 hours extra freeze, 120°F drying. I always add 24 hours of drying to make sure it doesn’t stop during the night.

Have been having issues with freeze dryer heating up to temperature. I tried two things last night to see if it will work and looks good so far. One was resetting the tray sensors on the back of the tray rack. The other was changing the settings in functional testing menu from A to B. I did a run with a watered down piece of bread and more water and it came up to temperature. Hoping this is the fix.

Beef and barley stew. Carrots, celery, and potatoes were all freeze dried. Amazing to have staples on hand and not have to run to the store for one or two things.
