I am now on my third load of freeze drying with my new Harvest Right medium dryer. The first batch was a bread load spritzed with a vinegar water solution to purge the machine of smells. Second was 36 homemade burger patties. I used 80-20 beef, grilled patted dry and rinsed with hot water. Getting as much fat of the product increases it’s storage. The process took 22 hours, but some of that was added time so I could sleep.
Rehydrating was pretty simple for it. I soaked in hot water for 10 minutes. I put it in a pan and melted a slice of cheese. While it wasn’t “fresh off the grill” it was really good. I am thinking the lack of all that fat took away from it. I gave one to my son and he had no idea I did not just make it.
Second load was Candy. I had to justify the purchase to my wife
I am now running bananas
The machine is a bit noisy, but where I have it In The basement, I can’t hear it at all in the bedroom
