Thank you so much for making these videos! So many others make a freeze drying video but don't show how it reconstitutes and tastes afterward. You always do that which makes your videos so much more useful! Again, thank you!!
Hello sir. I love your videos. I'm surprised to see fish being processed in a freeze dryer. I always heard naught to do fish in a freeze dryer as it leaves a nasty smell which is hard to remove from the dryer. I was wondering if because the fish was mixed with other food that this stopped the fish from leaving that odor. Have you ever frozen just plain fish? Thank you
Hi John love your videos! This comment is really for your fruit in cherry geliton. Remember you had to put the cherries back in because they were still stickey? Have you tried starting with dried cherries that you rehydrated maybe 1/3 to 1/2 way and use them like that and see if they would then be finished without being put back in.
GREAT video we love tuna casserole-comfort food YUMMMM. We also like to use the the mixed veggies in the casserole and onions- You should add onions John- or don't onions do well in FD meals when rehydrated?
This is so funny to me. I just finished freeze drying tuna fish casserole last week! My recipe has you bake it. I'm kind of thinking I would like to do how you did it versus baking it. I like the idea of adding cream of celery soup. I might do half celery soup and half mushroom or just celery soup. My recipe you add artichoke hearts which I just love. I think I'm going to add black olives next time. I freeze dried those before and they turn out great. And they rehydrate great.
If I wasn't freeze drying this would have gone in the oven with ruffles crunched for a topping. I think it taste better from the oven and maybe next time I will still bake (I think it melds the flavor) before freeze drying. Thank You!
I had to modify this cause I don’t have anything big enough to make it in, but that was quite easy. Family liked it for supper, rest went in the FD. I added more cream of celery though. Simple, good meal. Thank you!

Great recipe, John! This is right up my alley! Yum! So, did you use 3 or 4 bags of the noodles? I figure the batch would have come out to about 6 or 7 trays worth?
As you were making it, I was thinking maybe a little bit of your cheese and Rotel powder might be good in it. You could put it in for a little change once and a while!
I only discovered this channel about a month ago and it's awesome. It never came up before when I did a search. I did mentioned your channel on GAB, so hopefully more people will find you.
I agree. John does an excellent job. Very very creative. Epicenter Brian used to do some fun and informative videos too but he stopped. John's videos are much more creative.

You are so welcome!
Just saw your blurb about caramelized onions, great idea.
Nice idea to make the large batches to the scale of the HR machine.

Yes I have done cod and shrimp. I think pre freezing in your freezer helps a lot with left over smell in the freeze dryer.
Try tuna salad without the mayo....yummy. You did good job John.
I've been looking online for a good recipe, seems greek yogurt is acceptable but everyone wants to put avocados in it and I don't like them.
Thank you! I'm going to try to do this. I love tuna casserole. If my family doesn't like it that's too bad more for me :-)
Add dehydrated onions too.

That's great!
Wow, looks delicious, I am going to make this! 43 hours? I've never seen a batch of anything take that long...
I do add lots of time to work around my schedule, I think that is what happened here
Looks great, plus I have hundreds of bagged noodle meals {add meat} that I'd love to FD someday and have packed up and ready for whatever.
what forums are you talking about? link?

It would be nice if you put your recipes in your comments. This looks good! Is there a reason you switch from jars to bags?
Not really, I still use both
Great recipe, John! This is right up my alley! Yum! So, did you use 3 or 4 bags of the noodles? I figure the batch would have come out to about 6 or 7 trays worth?
Oh my gosh that was a long time ago, sorry I don't remember LOL
John In Bibs LOL. Don’t worry. I’ll figure it out! 😁👍 ~~Sharon

Sounds great!
I don't know why you don't get more views, you make great stuff. Maybe t he freeze dried audience is small?
Thanks, I don't know why either. But I am slowly growing

does your recipe fill 5 trays? this is good eating
It's been a long time ago but I am pretty sure this fills my 4 trays for the medium FD
