Harvest Right Freeze Dryer

[CS1983]

First real load in: 4lbs of pre-sliced/frozen strawberries and 4 apples sliced.

We'll see how this goes.

First batch complete: 4 pounds (pre-freeze dry) pre-frozen/sliced strawberries and 4 apples sliced.

Total time: 24 hours and 59 minutes

I probably would have let this go a little longer and extended the final dry since strawberries can be deceptive (the seeds can retain moisture which gets released), but the kids are going to plow through this in no time.

Below you will see the final screen, end product (after some was eaten), and the natural ice build up which you can defrost either naturally (leave the door open and let it melt and go into the drain at the back) or let the machine defrost itself. Given how cold my garage is I opted for machine defrost.

Oil is still good to go it seems in the standard pump. Baby is due any day now, so I'm going to hold off another batch until he comes so I don't have a case of bad timing.
