  1. Freeze Dried Meals

    Bumping old older thread. I've been making a lot of yogurt (little grandsons) and candy lately. Carmel M&M's are her new favorite and I've been tasked with making a bunch before next weekend to take to herr family. I also got a large bucket of Snickers to do also.

  2. Freeze Dried Meals

    Don't use the cheap o e from Kroger or Walmart. The ice cream is all air and they don't turn out good. Fat Boy sandwiches turn out great; but they will pop/spilt in half a lot of the time. Flavor is good and I ate a bunch of them.

  3. Freeze Dried Meals

    Wife also commented that we need to make taffy and ice cream for Christmas presents this year for everyone. Last ice cream was eaten up before much of it was saved. Stuff is addicting once you taste it.

  4. Freeze Dried Meals

    Mine is in the bonus room above the garage. Figured it would help heat back end of house this winter. It does generate some real heat for those who don't have one and are thinking about getting one. Not something you want in the main part of the house. The oil less pump is supposed to be a...

  5. Freeze Dried Meals

    Wife and myself were just talking about this last night. I told her that I didn't want to be reloading in same room as freeze dryer running and I have been reloading a lot lately. Freeze drying will start back up next week after returning from vacation. With the weather cooling off, it...

  6. Is There Such A Thing As A Viable Tool For Self Defense For A Minor College Student

    Not an expert and didn't stay in a Holiday Inn in some time; but maybe a tactical pen since it is a "writing instrument". I'm sure others will chime in sortly.

  7. Freeze Dried Meals

    Startup costs is high once you get everything including a good chamber vacuum sealer. Realistically, it is around $3800. We seem to be making a lot of stuff for the little grandsons (21 mo and 10.5 mo old). Between fruit and yogart dots, we have used it a lot. I do have meals, snacks...

  8. Freeze Dried Meals

    I've made ice cream sandwiches before. Learned not to use Walmart brand as they were almost all air whpped in the ice cream. Fat Boy on the other hand turned out great. Only issue I had was someone kept eating them and calling them defective. But they were good. I've got strawberries with...

  9. Freeze Dried Meals

    Ice cream and cheesecake are great in freeze driers. Of course, only the water is missing as they still have the same number of calories.

  10. How many people are using a freeze dryer?

    I put ranch Ranch seasoning on carrots and squash a while back. Turned out good with a different flavor from chips.

  11. How many people are using a freeze dryer?

    Just did a bunch of fruit for the grandsons. Each tray has 2 bananas, 1.5# strawberries, 4 Oz blueberries, and about 1.5 cups applesauce. Wife gave her approval on test tasting, so they won't last long.

  12. How many people are using a freeze dryer?

    Just an update for anyone considering getting one. I have 78 servings of of beef stroganoff processing right now. 40 in the freeze dryer and 38 more in the freezer waiting their turn. We have already filled up several of the large black/yellow lid totes with food. About the only thing that...

    No, just whipped with a fork and a splash of water.

  14. How many people are using a freeze dryer?

    Do you have one of the earlier vacuum pumps? Mine came with the green premier pump and is working great and oil is still clear after about a dozen or so cycles. I did 2 batches of 60 eggs each without any issues.

  15. How many people are using a freeze dryer?

    I'm running the premier pump that is supposed to go 25-30 cycles between oil changes. So far, meals have turned out good. Ordered 150 mylar gusseted bags the other day along with parchment liners. The silicone liners are not ideal for everything I'm finding out.

  16. Long Term Food Storage Options

    Brought a freeze dryer and sealing finished product in mylar in a chamber vacuum sealer.

  17. How many people are using a freeze dryer?

    I had a change of plans today. Made Laffy Taffy and caramels earlier (turned out good). Just put in 3 more different kinds of ice cream to see how they do. Peppermint, triple brownie, and cookie dough to see how they do. Did vanilla/orange, mint chocolate chip, cookie & cream, plain old...

  18. How many people are using a freeze dryer?

    Anything you have tried that didn't turn out right? So far, so good on mine. I did make enough chili mac the other day to feed a bunch of people. Sam's had Hormel chili w/o beans for $3.56/6 pack on clearance. I got a couple of 6 packs; but wish I had grabbed more. The only thing that I...

    Harvest Right medium from TruPrep. I ordered the chamber vacuum sealer online.

    I talked to @UptaCamp a bunch before buying and he gave me some great suggestions.
