DEMO: Roller Berry from Frozen Right - Freeze Drying Tool for piercing berries and other items.

Here is a demo of an awesome tool I found for piercing berries and other items in preparation for freeze drying. You can get this from FrozenRight.com

[@Barbara-sl8dj]

Looks a lot easier than the 3,200 blueberries I poked. Thanks

[@EpicenterBryan]

It sure is.

[@JohnInBibs]

Fantastic Demo, Welcome Back I missed you guys!!

[@EpicenterBryan]

More to come!

[@TH-tl6sy]

Absence really does make the heart grow fonder! I feel so spoiled suddenly getting new videos. Lol

[@EpicenterBryan]

Thanks!

[@theresamcpherson7352]

Yay Brian's Back!

[@EpicenterBryan]

Thanks! Nice comments like yours makes my day!

[@Billy123bobzzz]

Awesome! Thank you Bryan, we have been long time customers of yours!

[@EpicenterBryan]

Our pleasure!

[@Amc796]

So glad to see you doing videos again!

[@EpicenterBryan]

Glad you like them! More to come.

[@rinab4405]

I'm SO GLAD to see you guy's back... SERIOUSLY DUDE!!

[@EpicenterBryan]

Dude, thank you... Seriously!

Bit the bullet and bought one, LOVE IT! Using a quarter sheet pan baking tray and silpat mat with a wet paper towel underneath to hold the mat in place to give the roller tips something to grab onto, I used the tool the opposite way. With the metal bar that spans the width of the roller facing up, roll the tool backwards instead of forward. The baking tray keeps them from rolling all over the place after piercing. Scoop them up into the drying tray. Works beautifully! All berries still in perfect round shape, not mushy or distorted. No explosions in the freeze dryer, they look so perfect you wouldn't even know they've been pierced. Some really soft ones may stick to others once dried, but they separate easily without turning to dust. What a time saver! Did 5 pounds in about 20 minutes. Time is invaluable to me.

[@EpicenterBryan]

Awesome! I used mine a few weeks ago on some ground cherries from our garden. Works great.

[@KLU421]

What a time saver! Miss your freeze drying videos!

[@GradeBmoviefan]

Love this! Thank you!! 😊👍 ~Sharon

[@EpicenterBryan]

You are so welcome!

[@jameshuett2559]

Perfect! I was telling a friend last night how hard blue berries are to do because of the skin. Brilliant! American ingenuity!

[@EpicenterBryan]

Yep! Expensive but worth it in my opinion. I just packed up two #10 cans from the batch in this video.

[@TasteOfHealthOnline]

Freeze your blueberries and put them in a large food processor and nick the skins. It works just fine.

[@theyoungnative93]

@@TasteOfHealthOnline wouldn’t that turn them into smoothie mix?

[@TasteOfHealthOnline]

@@theyoungnative93 Not at all. You just pulse the food processor 3 or 4 times (Don’t use a blender either), and of course make sure they are frozen.

[@jenniferlynne10]

SO VERY GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK & WELL ~!! (we call those Pineapple Tomatillos ~! Can't wait to freeze dry some this summer~!! )

[@EpicenterBryan]

Oh yes! So yummy!

[@IamChrisL712]

Missed your vids. What a great tool. Someone's thinking☺

[@philw7174]

Good video, thank you Bryan. This product sure makes piercing easier, thanks to your video I bought this. Happy trails!

[@OVW]

Oh wow im sold Thank you for the demostration

[@EpicenterBryan]

Expensive but sure works...

[@rowane6838]

Great tool! Saves poking individual berries with a toothpick 😂

[@KristenHH]

That looks high quality! I've been using a retractable dog grooming slicker brush 😅

[@Amc796]

That is what I use. It works and fits my budget.

[@EpicenterBryan]

I'll have to look at that. We love our dog!

[@rowane6838]

Good idea!

[@ericablock4385]

great content. thanks epicenterbryan!

[@EpicenterBryan]

My pleasure!

[@merkeldodge7982]

Brilliant. Could have used that last year.

[@KrusinTheSierra]

Oh I need this for my elderberries!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

That's the way to go! A-PLUS!

[@EpicenterBryan]

Great product. Expensive, but hand made in the USA.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

@@EpicenterBryan You get what you pay for and junk just don't last. Just like the drier. FINE stuff!

[@chirogirl67550]

Thank you!

[@EpicenterBryan]

You're welcome!

[@ramonacase2952]

Thank you for the demo. I have one but I couldn't get it to work right!

[@EpicenterBryan]

Glad I could help!

[@BellofattoBrews]

Thanks for sharing. I plan on getting once I can justify the cost.

[@EpicenterBryan]

Yep, it's expensive but the time savings has lots of value to me.

[@KristenHH]

I use a retractable dog grooming slicker brush! Might not be as high quality as the thing in the video, but it works as a more affordable alternative 😄

[@horticultureandhomes]

Wow, pricey! Have you tried your FD braunshweiger lately? Mine after a year was not good.

[@donnasimmons1335]

💖

[@nicoledodge6591]

This is interesting. I'm new to freeze dryibg. Can you tell my , Why it's necessaryto poke the berries prior to dryibg them? I thought you could just place on the tray and proceed with freeze drying. I didn't know you needed to poke each berry. Thanks

[@EpicenterBryan]

The skin on some items like blueberries won't let the water vapor escape without piercing the skin. They take forever to dry and sometimes aren't fully dried at the end.

[@shelleyistevens]

I am having a hard time getting on your supply link on Facebook can you help me maybe

[@kwindmill3720]

Does anyone have a promo code for this company?

[@tracietackett5104]

Nice but to expensive

[@EpicenterBryan]

It is. It sure saves time when doing blueberries.

[@TasteOfHealthOnline]

$140 is more than a “little pricey!” I’ll just keep freezing my berries and using my food processor to nick the skins. Yikes! Would like one if it’s ever reasonable priced.

[@theyoungnative93]

What kind of food processor knicks the skins?

[@MGillDesign]

You can also use a meat tenderizer. the one's with the handles.

[@slhemp3556]

Barbara, thank you for listing the price. Also, a dough piercer might work just as well and if you bake, you probably already have one.

[@TasteOfHealthOnline]

@@theyoungnative93 if your berries are frozen and you put them into your food processor, you simply pulse the on off button to knick the skins. Three or four pulses usually does it. I pull out a small handful and inspect to make certain there’s a cut mark on every berry. Hope that helps.

[@TasteOfHealthOnline]

@@slhemp3556 I don’t have one but will check it out.

[@suzieleroux9402]

Brian, I’ve been trying to contact you to order but no one has responded to my e-mails (2 e-mails).

[@lorencolt]

how about a link?

[@brucewayne-cave]

I am pretty sure it is frozenright.com

[@wirehyperspace]

can't you just cut them in half and make them skinless grapes, and say you have skinless blueberry pie powder

[@EpicenterBryan]

Yep. You could always blend them first.

[@wirehyperspace]

@@EpicenterBryan ever think about putting saw dust in freeze dryer to make covid toilet paper or even a wood log to see what happens

[@deawallace3584]

BEWARE of Harvest Right! They get your money, then may send you a defective unit which they will not repair or replace. I am out over $4,000 for a FD I bought for my daughter's family. I am trying to save others from losing thousands of dollars to a company that does NOT DO WHAT IS RIGHT !! It has been over a year of HR keeping our money, we get the shaft.

[@ddfskip]

never heard anyone have a problem with Harvest Right......in fact they have superb customer service.. This doesnt sound right to me

[@deawallace3584]

They failed in customer service with us. After over 2 years, they finally sent us a label to ship the dud FD back to them! It did not "sound" right because they would not DO WHAT'S RIGHT!!! @@ddfskip

[@deawallace3584]

Not only did HR not take care of the problem for over two years, we lost two whole garden harvests that we could not freeze dry due to their ineptness!!!@@ddfskip
