Update; We have been having so much fun with this we are going to continue to post videos in this playlist of our many experiments. Thanks for watching!
Ever since we got into hiking & backpacking more seriously, Kristy has been wanting a freeze dryer. With dehydrated backpacking meals & snacks in mind, we also wanted the ability to make our own freeze dried foods for the trail. I purchased the medium sized Harvest Right freeze dryer for Kristy for Christmas. It came early so she couldn't resist. She has been running batches every day since. We also cover some of the essential operations of running a batch in the freeze dryer.
We have been experimenting will all kinds of foods and plenty of candy. We found some winners and found some Fails too. Most of our experiments that we have tried so far are mentioned in this video. We found some favorites for sure.
With freeze dried foods being less weight I might just become packs-a-lot....less! Enjoy!

Christy got a new toy for Christmas. Why didn't you get her a vacuum cleaner too. Lol Packs a little less, that's to funny Steven. Looks like a time consuming process Steven. Gee I just checked the price of that freeze dryer wow. I think I'll get my wife a diamond 💎 ring instead. 😇

@Packsalot 2 года назад

Thank you John. Vacuum cleaners "suck"! 😂 I'm hoping I can trim down some of my food item weights by freeze drying them. It is time consuming but mostly the freeze dryer does not need attending to once you load it with food. Simply load your food then find something to do for like 20 hrs. Like go on a hike! 👍😁 When you come back, its done. Maybe, I should have checked into the diamond ring option instead. I might have saved some money! LOL. thanks for your awesome comment. I hope you have an amazing day and get out on the trail somewhere. Happy Holidays!

“Diamonds are forever!” Freeze dried food lasts 25-30 years, tops!

A few snippets of advice- invest in the silicone tray mats. Absolutely worth every penny and makes it much easier to clean the trays. Consider investing in a second set of trays so you can still prefreeze things in the freezer while the freeze dryer is running a batch. You can find tray stackers (plastic things that sit in the corners of the trays so you can stack them in the freezer) and it helps save freezer space while they're freezing- if you get these, get the bag for the "large" freeze dryer. The stackers are all the same size, but you get more in the large bag. As for steaks, you can freeze dry thin sliced steaks, like a skirt steak, with pretty good success. Best wishes!

@Packsalot 2 года назад

Ah, thank you very much. This is a new appliance for us and we are just starting out. We have learned a lot. We ordered the mats awhile ago and have yet to receive them. So, my wife made some from scratch by buying her own silicone sheets off Amazon and then cut them to fit the trays. Pre-freezing is the way to go but again the additional trays were on back order or something when I went to purchase them. Thanks for the tips. I'll need to retry several items we have experimented with. I have another video coming our in the next day or two of more of our trials. Some successes and some fails. It has been fun experimenting. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a wonderful day.

@timhammond691 Год назад

@@Packsalot We purchased the silscone sheets and cut them as needed. Works great and makes it so much easier to remove from the trays and keep everything cleaner.

@Packsalot Год назад

@@timhammond691 Ah, yes. We have since done the same thing as well. The liners are the way to go for sure!

@tattooedman42 11 месяцев назад

I bought the silicone mats for mine, and they are awesome. Two sets for two sets of trays. About the steaks...I freeze dry mine raw, and I have dried New York Strip steaks, petite sirloins, and even pork chops with great success. I made sure to mark on the mylar bag that the steaks are raw, because they will have to be reconstituted and cooked before eating. The New York strips I cut myself (not hard)...the best size is around 3/4 inch thick. Tray stackers are a must if you are going to pre-freeze your food.

Thanks for showing the fails as well, but lots of sucesses!

@Packsalot 2 года назад

Thank you. Yep, I have one of the circular sir dryers too but this is not your typical air dryer, this is the freeze dryer. Much more complex of a unit. This unit extracts all moisture from the food and makes it so it will last on the shelf for like 40 years. These are the same type of units they use to make those lightweight backpacking meals, powdered milk, and other food storage products. You can pour in liquid and it comes out as powder. Super cool. We have been having so much fun experimenting with it. Glad you liked the video. Take care and have a Merry Christmas.

Very educational video, my wife has been interested in a freeze dryer for a long time now - agree w/ Senior Hiker 77, the price can be pretty steep. I had no idea it can take 13 hours to do a round of freeze drying. Or that you can freeze dry ice cream sandwiches! Yum! Thanks for sharing, I learned a lot from this video.

@Packsalot 2 года назад

Thank you. It is pricey and certainly a luxury item. It has been really cool to experiment with different foods and beverages. Your typical candy takes about 13 hours. Coffee, eggnog, eggs, and other liquid based products takes about 30 hours. Ice cream is a hit for sure. Ice cream sandwich after a long day of backpacking. Pretty cool. Glad you liked the video.

@Packsalot 2 года назад

Thanks Bruce. I don't think this will fit in a stocking this year! LOL. We have been using a typical dehydrator for for awhile now. They work great for like your fruits and stuff. But freeze drying takes it to a new level. You can take just about any perishable food, beverage, or your favorite meal and freeze dry it so it will last on the shelf for 25-30 years. It extracts all moisture from the food. Plus, it removes like 90% or more of the weight. Awesome for backpacking food. Less weight to carry. Ice cream sandwich on the trail with Otis without the fear of your ice cream melting? You might go for that! Have a great day.

Took longer to drop temps than I figured it would. Oh man that honey might be hard to clean off. Weird it's reacting that way. The yogurt bites remind me of the marshmallows in lucky charms. Ah so you did skittles. They are delicious!! I've heard ice cream sandwiches aren't too good freeze dried. What did you guys think of them? That's really cool that you can do all that. I would do it, but not sure I have the patience for it. Think the excitement would wear off quick and then it would just be taking up space lol.

Thank you, Felix. Maybe I'll be lighter on the trail this year because I'm getting lazier the older I get. Tired of packing the extra weight. Our favorite has been the eggnog flavored taffy. My daughter loves the ice cream sandwiches. Skittles are addicting too. I really liked the Hi-Chews. they are better dehydrated than fresh. The excitement better not wear off of this pricey appliance! We will bring you some of our favorites for your road trip. Take care.

This is why they say not to freeze-dry sugar. Honey included.

@Packsalot 2 года назад

Thanks for watching and commenting. It was fun experimenting with the different foods as we are new to the freeze drying process. Take care and have a great day.

Wow, I didn't even know you could get a home unit to make freeze dried food. That was very interesting! Have you tried some main courses like lasagna? Maybe, since we can buy those, it is not worth it? This is so fascinating. Does it really reduce the weight of skittles? Sorry about all of the questions. What a great new toy. Merry Christmas to you and Kristy!

@Packsalot 2 года назад

Thank you. Kristy had to wait a couple years, but I finally got her one. It has been real fun experimenting with different foods. We are going to some of our favorite meals. Lasagna should work as well. Food times go in at their normal weights but come out like air. Reduces the weight significantly. I'm so exited to be able to reduce some of my food weight on the trail. Keep having fun on the island and have a Merry Christmas!

Can you show freeze drying meals and meats? Doing it the way mtn house does, but better?

@Packsalot 2 года назад

Thank you Tom for watching and commenting. Yes! Actually, we will be experimenting with some meals for sure. We are hoping to make homemade meals that taste just as good on the trail as they do at home. I will try to get a video out at least every couple weeks on the freeze drying experiments and demonstrations. Thanks for following along. Have an amazing day.

@DaveTalksBusiness 2 года назад

Woooooooow!! 🤯🤯😳I mean I agree that it's super cool and easy to use but is it practical? or even worth buying one at all in the long run?

@Packsalot 2 года назад

Thank you Dave. Well, I think this is more of a luxury item for us. But I do see the potential for filling up a food pantry in preparation for a zombie apocalypse! LOL. Actually, we will be using it mainly to freeze dry foods that would normally get thrown out if they go bad because they are perishable. Additionally, the added bonus of freeze drying your favorite at home meals so you can take them on road trips or extended backpacking trips. Not to mention all the treats for our sweet tooth. Thanks for watching and have a great day.

i wonder if you put parchment paper under the honey and over it if it would work better?

it would contain the mess more for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting. Good luck on your freeze drying if you have one too. Have a wonderful day.

Just ordered a medium Harvest Right FD. Can you put plastic ice trays inside the machine?

@Packsalot 2 года назад

Thanks for watching. You will love the freeze dryer. Ours has been going nonstop since December. I do not know for sure but I've seen on amazon that you can buy spacers and stackers which I think are plastic. So maybe it would be ok. Items that we put into ice trays we freeze first in the regular freezer then put them on cold freeze dryer trays as we are putting them into the freeze dryer. Seems to work pretty well. Good luck. Have a great day.

Honey never spoils. Not sure why you would want to even freeze dry it

@Packsalot 2 года назад

Thank for watching. We are new to freeze drying and were curious what would and would not freeze dry. It was fun trying to do different foods. We have lots of honey but it is heavy. Just wondering mostly if we could save on weight. Take care and have a great day.
