Harvest Right Freeze Dryer: Unboxing, Setup, And Bread Run!

[@Damianmarleyfan]

Having extra home made MREs in your car and stuff, and the prospect of selling super good freeze dried dishes to campers, preppers, and having a light compact pantry of stuff you grow makes freeze deying alluring to me

Freeze dryers are expensive, but when comparing them to the cost of other major food appliances like fridges and freezers, they aren't that bad. And they basically turn your freezer into a massive walk-in freezer that doesn't require constant power to keep it going. How much would a freezer that big cost? They actually make your existing fridge and freezer more effective too because you can freeze dry many things you would otherwise store in there like leftovers. Cooking is more efficient because you can make bigger more complex recipe batches of everything and instead of overloading the fridge with leftovers and being dulled by eating the same food for two weeks straight, you can freeze dry the rest and save yourself a ton of future meal prep to make that dish again. And you can make the healthiest snacks on the planet like freeze dried strawberries. It's the only long term fruit and food storage option I know of that doesn't involve adding a ton of sugar or salt.

I know you posted this 3 weeks ago, but I didn't see it come through and it was a thoughtful comment! We have the medium harvest right, it ranges from about $2500-$2900 where I live depending on the time of year and what deals you can find. But you're absolutely right, when we cook now we actually make double, triple, or even quadruple batches so we can freeze dry the leftovers. Then instead of putting them into the fridge or freezer we just package them up and put them in the pantry to use later! It costs just as much as a new fridge or something similar but if you utilize it and get some food stored it will end up paying for itself! The amount of nights we say "I really don't want to cook tonight" and we just grab some freeze dried stuff and quickly fix it up.. oh man it's amazing!

I received a freeze dryer yesterday and I'm watching this video in Korea Seeing you makes me look forward to tomorrow

[@AlpacaRenee]

I paid cash for mine (as opposed to lay away) and they offered me a gift of an extra set of trays for paying cash. Score!

[@maryn8723]

I love the fact that you're very new to this, and your excitement when you took the bread out made me lol, lol! It has taken me two years to actually decide to buy one of these, and I'm waiting for delivery at the end of the month, so this was an amazing video to see and it really explained things, thank you! I subscribed to your channel, and I'm looking forward to your future videos :D

[@WhitepepperFarm]

Thank you, I appreciate that! Literally anytime I freeze dry something new I have that same reaction 😂. Since making this video I have freeze dried so many things, it’s definitely been a fun adventure! I’m excited for you!

[@judistevens2372]

Thank you so very much for showing us step by step how to set up our machine. it is doing the bread cycle as I type. You're amazing! I have subscribed.

Mushrooms. I’m interested in freeze drying mushrooms, and making them into powder . Mushrooms don’t have much of a shelflife in refrigeration, but they are valuable in the diet. Mushroom powder would make it easier to add them to a host of meals. It will also make it easier to feed mushrooms to people who claim they don’t like mushrooms, because the complaint is usually something to do with texture. There is a wonderful recipe for using zucchini as the principle ingredient of a pizza crust. I’ve had it numerous times and it’s terrific. But, it would be even more successful. If the zucchini were in powder form, I’m sure no need to remove the moisture.

[@FloridaMongoose]

I love the joy you found in that first slice of freeze dried bread! 😀

[@CJ-sj8mb]

Omg, your energy is excellent! I just bought one of these myself but waiting on a table to arrive b4 I can set it up. Watching this video has me even more excited to get started. 😁

[@WhitepepperFarm]

Hey thanks, I appreciate that!

[@m.d.e.845]

How much do these freeze dryers cost?

[@paulettagyurik2644]

Great video I’m excited to order mine around March so I can freeze dry my garden produce I already ordered my stainless steel table and have ordered a lot of candies to freeze dry for family and friends God bless you and your family 🙏🙏🙏

[@WhitepepperFarm]

Hi, I just saw this! You're going to love it! During harvesting season our machine never shuts off, we freeze dry everything!

[@briangeorge8251]

Just bought two of these yesterday because I got a smokin deal! I can’t wait to start using them

Thank you so much for sharing new knowledge how to use Freez dryer . And i learn a lots .

[@Smoshyprincess]

Have you guys purchased more affordable freeze dryers? Been watching for a while and I feel inspired!

[@melissac7639]

I'm surprised you don't have a link for the extra trays. Unless I missed it, but I've scrolled up and down several times checking the links. Anyway, thanks for the info. I wasn't sure why everyone was talking about a bread run. I'm about to set up my new Harvest Right FD and wanted to learn as much as possible before I get started.

[@sueholte451]

Thank you!!! This is the best video!! Im setting mine up tomorrow!!!

[@mauseratimeowzebub8818]

Do you need to cook meat before freeze-drying? Could I do for example, raw chicken chunks in order to season/cook as desired after rehydration.

[@WhitepepperFarm]

Absolutely! When we do steaks we do them raw and then we even rehydrate in some marinade, it’s great! Just remember even when it’s dried, you still want to treat it as if it was raw. So same food precautions as you normally take with raw food!

[@KyKane]

I read you could keep a raw steak at room temp?

[@ale-rb5jo]

very informative video! about to set mine up thank youuu

[@backyardtv9354]

Sir i just bought one today, thank you for bread run idea. I have a question i will freeze dry chicken breast and fish, how long it will freeze and hoe long will dry? Thanks

[@ARSNOOPY]

Very helpful, thank you.

[@a1n1g1u1s]

In your short video I noticed the tray holder inside the unit was sitting diagonally. I just got mine today and mine were the same. I adjusted mine hoping I wasn’t ruining anything. Also did you let you FD sit 24 hours before doing this set up?

[@danakline5120]

i have had a machine for awhile, i am curious how you fd anything that is liquid, like soup, pureed veg or fruit and keep them from expanding outside the trays?

[@WhitepepperFarm]

Do you pre freeze the soups and such before putting them in the machine?

[@sonyiawinfield3020]

I saw on KZbin a woman made a batch of stew. She spread it out on her trays and after it was done she cut them into squares placing them in Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers

[@sonyiawinfield3020]

Nana cochranes kitchen was the KZbin channel

[@JosePerez-xe7jp]

How long was the bread freezing for ? 24hrs? So a whole day ?

[@carolinekuo7715]

How is your opinion on your harvest fresh today 11 mo later?

[@WhitepepperFarm]

I still love it! I’ve had no issues with it, I’ve done multiple runs a week since buying it, and the only thing I’ve ever had to do to it is change the oil on the pump a few times.

[@carolinekuo7715]

@@WhitepepperFarm Thank you for replying. i really want to get one.

[@mofoco1971]

Do you take off the shiny cardboard like paper off the top and bottom of the rack holder ?

[@1MinutePrayers]

I just got mine and I understand that the inside walls should be wiped down with a damp cloth....how do you do that and get the shelves out?

How about trying nuts or seeds in a freeze-drying

[@icarium6031]

Why does it have a 15amp cord if they want a 20amp outlet?

[@bobs3729]

The cord end is 15 amp rated. The machine may peak power usage to around that with the pump and everything running. A 20 circuit is plenty for the medium freeze dryer machine. A 15A circuit breaker may trip with extended run times.

Can i order this in Germany? I mean is it International shipping?
