A arma secreta para harvest right home freeze dryer

We have some really great 'techy' type guys here who are, as they have been exploring the FD mechanics and sharing that in their posts, writing what is turning out to be a 'troubleshooting manual' for us less capable folks.

Have you ever tossed out spoiled produce or leftovers? How about those cans of food that are nearing their expiration date sitting on the shelf at the back of your food storage?

19.7k Location:Ontario, Canada Posted March 8, 2006 Freeze drying works by quickly freezing the item (and that could include flowers or dead animals as this technology is used to preserve wedding bouquets and in taxidermy) to a very low temperature, then placing it under vacuum to remove the air and water vapour.

Do you have any vacuum gauges at all to test the pump? ( Though I doubt that is the problem based upon your tests )

Removing the ice from between the chamber wall and the insulation (hopefully will never have to do this again)

They replied with some good information, but didn't really directly answer the question. I know that there is pelo one answer for all foods, but a rule of thumb is certainly within reason.

One of the many joys of having a working freezer is the potential that it holds. While cooking may not be everyone’s forte, saving time usually is, and this is one of the benefits a freezer affords. By scheduling particular days and reserving them exclusively for the preparation of a week’s worth of meals, you’ll save not only a significant amount of money, but time.

I have one of those hand held heat guns (inexpensive from HF), but I was afraid of accidently burning the insulation. My gun gets very hot! I do the same technique with a fan, shock the ice and listen for the cracks as it separates from the chamber wall.

The two sub-processes, freezing and vacuum drying are done correctly: The freezing process must be quick and the vacuum process should leave only residual moisture.

Most other methods for extracting water also destroy enzymes and terpenes due to heat being used in the extraction process. Because freeze drying does not use heat during operation, the enzymes and terpenes in freeze dried products are not destroyed.

The highly-skilled team at Toronto Refrigeration can cover all of these items, and more – even something as complex as a microwave can be salvaged, so you don’t have to buy a new one and dispose of the old unit in an already crowded landfill.

I am looking for a more defined "heuristic" curve based upon the internal temperature. I am sure that your engineers probably have tables for Know More such things. I also know that different foods freeze at different rates, that is why I am asking for a heuristic answer.

You can have electric or gas grills. Gas grills deliver higher and faster heat. They will also cook more evenly than electric. Electric grills are typically cheaper and will have more functions. However, electric grills heat slowly and can be more difficult to maintain.
