Today we take 5 different types of pasta, cook it all up. We then use my newly discovered technique to freeze dry it. After freeze drying we reconstitute all the different types in 5 minutes with boiling water. Superb results!

John, I found a video by Mountain house where they talk about "Long Crystals" that make rehydrating food faster. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/heB_qdZ1u7LDgWw.html

There your comment is! I am going to pin it. Comments with links require approval and you found a great one! This explains why soaking the noodles worked and also gives me many more ideas. Thank You!!!!!!!!

In that video the mountain house guy says that they're looking to build as big ice crystals as possible when freeze drying because it creates a better mouth feel when rehydrating, usually manufacturer's flash freeze foods because it creates smaller ice crystals which do not harm the cell membranes as much as larger ice crystals thus creating a better texture when thawed. Is it to allow faster/ better rehydration that they'd want the bigger ice crystals ?

@JohnInBibs 9 ай бұрын

I would say yes to the rehydrate and also very early on I discovered that if I watered some things down that I intended to eat dry that made a much better texture

To get larger ice crystals: Slow Freezing: Slower freezing allows water molecules more time to migrate and join together, forming larger crystals. You can slow down the freezing process by setting your freezer to a warmer setting or placing the food in the least cold parts of the freezer. Temperature Fluctuations: Frequently fluctuating temperatures can cause larger ice crystals to form. If the food partially thaws and then refreezes, the ice crystals that form during the second freeze will be larger. Large Pieces of Food: Larger pieces of food take longer to freeze through, which can result in larger ice crystals forming inside the food.

This is a breakthrough John. You have opened up the door to so many more things we can add to our freeze dried pantry. Thank you!🩷❤️

In real life I cook penne, bow ties, shells and spirals longer than the box says anyway. Elbows do ok but the other types are too hard for my liking. So I think I’d do the same before freeze drying. I like your process and will try it!

I make my beefaroni using rotini noodles and like it with extra sauce (like the canned version). I'm going to freeze dry some soon. Looking at your information I would think that instead of cooling after cooking and freeze drying them that perhaps letting them set overnight in the sauce would possibly achieve similar results since the noodles are basically sitting in water.

This is a great video. I just got those pastas for .97 cents. Now I know what to do with them.

Excellent!

@buddysmom1583 9 ай бұрын

I don’t understand why you have to soak the noodles after cooked and before freeze drying. Can you explain why this is necessary? Thank You for your videos! They are helpful and informative.

More than likely it's to help with the freeze drying process extra water usually means it works better

Love your instructions, thank you so much. Have you ever tried freeze drying gnocchi? On a side note, I loaned my Mom your books to look at the recipes and she said, "He never says to take out the oxygen absorber, and someone will forget to take it out and eat it." LOL She is going to make herself a few recipes that I can freeze dry for her pantry. :)

The soft pastas like home made come out great. No soaking

@jeffwrightsman5265 6 ай бұрын

Has anyone tried this on whole grain pasta? I think I will do a tray of that and see when I get some time.

@DrPhail 7 ай бұрын

Have you tried to see what happens if you don't cook the pasta in the first place? Just submerge it in water straight from the box.

Where do you purchase your bags/pouches? HR settings? I know you pre freeze but are you running a full cycle HR settings 0 freeze 0 extra and 115 or 125 dry?

@JohnInBibs 2 ай бұрын

I get my bags from topmylar.com. I do not and have never changed my HR settings. I do add extra dry time. I run practically all my loads at 40 hours.

I did the elbows and spaghetti and didn't do the fridge thing and they both came back in 5 minutes in boiling water. I am now going to make individual meals for myself!!.
