Great information, tools perhaps required and things that you have discovered helps your productivity. I have a weird question. No one has showed what happens to the water extracted, how warm does the room get, would it benefit using heat extraction in the room and vent it somewhere (we’re thinking into a greenhouse.). Everyone usually shows the food side, I have yet to see one of oil changes, etc. (I saw one video where they discuss oil vs oil free - which as someone exploring the idea of of machines - was an eye opener. :) Thanks for sharing!

Had you ever thought of using a pizza crust or pastry docking tool. That tool has rows of spikes and a handle. They are not spaced as closely as the gadget you are showing, but are only a fraction of the price.

@freezedriedbusiness 3 ай бұрын

Yes I have and the pizza tool doesn’t have a way to catch the blueberries off the spikes so it just keeps rotating and doesn’t fall off

May I ask, is it then possible to use a dehydrator to freeze dry? Like freeze my fruit separately and then transfer it to the dehydrator?

@freezedriedbusiness 2 ай бұрын

That's a completely different preservation method. Dehydration is removing all water through heat. Freeze-drying is the process of sublimation which is taking the water from a solid to a gas. Dehydration take it from a solid to liquid to gas which is why you get a rubber based end product

If ur doing pre frozen just thaw them put 100%, then rinse them, tray them (pre freeze in your freeze if u want) or just put em right in ur freeze dryer and they turn out 100% perfectly and saves u hours upon hours of prep time

Does your fruit come apart easily when you have them overlapping like that? I’ve been pre freezing in single layers first, then pile them on my FD trays (up to about 2 lbs). It takes a lot of time to do that, but maybe I don’t need to.

@freezedriedbusiness 3 ай бұрын

Yes they do come apart easily. For the strawberries you have to be a little delicate but you can break them apart for sure and usually they do anyway once you put them in a storage container

Many of us have an apple peeler that peels, slices and cores apples simultaneously two cuts with paring knife per apple and you are done. Most people don't enjoy the apple skin and it may not be safe to eat if the apples are not organic.

@freezedriedbusiness 3 ай бұрын

I do both, some I sell without the peel and others with the peel. I’ve been trying to transition to only organic fruit this year

@hickoryy1 2 ай бұрын

Just to clarify, first you say 5 trays about 6h, then you say 5 trays of strawberries up to 40h. What makes the time go up that much?

@freezedriedbusiness 2 ай бұрын

6 hours for final dry time, total freeze drying cycle time will take up to 40 hours total (this includes the freezing stage, vacuum stage, drying, and final dry)
