    When I freeze dry liquids, I place the liquids into 1 quart zip top bags (don't over fill, just about 2 1/2 cups per bag) lay them flat and freeze. Then when they are completely frozen cut away the bags and lay the frozen "bricks" onto the trays and place in the freeze dryer. No drips or spillage. Easy peasey.

    @Elena-yw6ni 3 года назад +28

    Becky, just a tip on freeze-drying: high sugar content items can explode or not freeze-dry well, if you do high-sugar foods, it may take longer, but for things like ketchup, people suggest diluting it with water, this way the sugar will be spread out and it will freeze dry better. Freeze drying process only removes water through sublimation, which is the process of getting water from solid state (ice) directly to vapor state, bypassing the liquid state. That can be done by getting the water below triple point, via low temperatures and low pressure. Fats can not be freeze dried. Therefore, chocolate will never freeze dry due to high fat content (cacao butter). If you want to store freeze-dried food long-term, you have to modify the recipes to eliminate any fats, oils, butter. It is just the matter of getting creative. Otherwise, the food will go rancid because the fats in it will go rancid. I love Skittles, mini marshmallows, both white and colored. Yogurt drops are nice too. You can freeze the chocolate silicone forms that are filled with low fat yogurt of your choice, fruit containing ones are better, then carefully pop them onto the tray and FD. But the best one is FD vanilla icecream. I buy mine from a local creamery that makes their icecream from real milk. Put the dollups of icecream on the parchment paper since they will be very delicate when done, they are THE BEST! My family loves them, including my dog! Remember to put your trays in the freeze dryer while it is pre-cooling for frozen foods, then take out the trays and fill them with your frozen goodies to avoid melting, pop them back into the machine and start the cycle. Use gloves to handle frozen trays. Don't mix pre-frozen and non-frozen food. Good luck! And I am truly sorry about Gizmo!

      Hi, first off thank you for your comment. I find it very helpful I’m going to screenshot this for a reference.
      Do you know if you can dip the FD item in chocolate or caramel and it still be consumable? Also, do you think most store bought ice cream are too high in sugar to FD?
      Thank you for any answers you provide!

    • @Elena-yw6ni
      @Elena-yw6ni Год назад +2

      @@tariaynnajohnson6365 you can absolutely dip freeze-dried pieces of fruit or other things in chocolate or caramel, it will obviously be not for long-term storage but for immediate enjoyment. Freeze-drying creates a crunchy or fluffy texture, depending on what it is. Freeze-dried goods absorb moisture right away , but mixing different textures creates a twist. So, don't be afraid to experiment and see if you like the outcome. As for the store-bought icecream, people buy ice cream sandwiches and freeze-dry them, as long as the thickness is reasonable. Some people cut them up in smaller pieces. Increasing surface area is very helpful and efficient to FD properly. Try to freeze dry icecream, as long as there is no chocolate in it, I mean chocolate morsels and chunks, not the chocolate-flavored icecream that has cacao powder in it. That one is good. Chocolate chunks have cacao butter, and that is fat that won't FD. Good luck!

      Candy doesn't need to freeze. Raise your temperature to 145 bypass the freeze cycle completely. Freeze should be OFF. Set for 2 hours dry time. Warm your trays and begin. If you don't have a candy mode, you can process candy in your test mode also. Candy only needs dry time, no freeze, and sugars will crystallize in the drying mode. Skittles honestly only take 20 - 30 minutes!

    So sorry about Gizmo. I had a bird dog that had severe seizures that we finally had to let pass. It's hard. They're our children and a big part of our families. I'm convinced that they are all running free and happy as could be, and very healthy.

We lost our Chihuahuas 2 years ago last September, my old man Lucas passed first and then his wife Latte died a few days later from a broken heart. It’s just a hole that cannot be filled, but I’m so glad he’s no longer suffering his seizures. Run free in Doggy Heaven Gizmo! Love and hugs from Texas!

I only do RUclips so I'm guessing that's why I missed it. I lost my mini-Pittie a year ago Oct & I miss her every day. They become such an important part of our lives, it a big adjustment not having them around... 💔

And my 3rd would have to be peppermints 4th would be the starburst and then my number one all time favorite candy ever reg and freeze dried is nerd clusters. Gummy warms are also funny and yummy. A few months back before I had my son I ended up ordering a lot of freeze dried candy from a website 😂 I would honestly love to do it my self.

    I forgot to tell you on a previous video that you were doing on garlic, living traditions Homestead has a garlic peeler on their Amazon affiliate page. I think it’s only around six dollars and they swear by it for peeling garlic easily and quickly. If I remember right, they are the ones that look like black and blue tubes. From what they had demonstrated, you just put a clove of garlic into it, rub/roll it back and forth A few times and a naked piece of garlic will fall out. That should make your garlic peeling go a lot faster for you. 💙💙💙

    Peach Rings are soooooo good! I wonder if you would like actual watermelon if it was freeze-dried...might be something to think about! Will definitely have to try the Junior Mints when I get my freeze dryer. I am so sorry to hear about Gizmo, sending prayers your way!
