So informative!!! Can’t wait to get a freeze dryer …. But that is years away ….. goals

I may try something like this in the dehydrator and see if it would work just as well!

Great points across the board! Right now we're able to dollar cost average for the future! Yes, the more ripe the bananas are the more sugar/the more sugar, the more likely you'll get an explosion. 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌

Love the dollar cost average!! The numbers are fascinating!

I enjoyed knowing the cost analysis. Random question: can you freeze dry raw meat?

[@ChapelHillForge]

You can. I follow the same practice as I do with pressure canning, and I always cook ground meat first. I do not pre-cook pieces of meat when I pressure can, but I do always pre-cooked ground. I pre-cook for the freezer, as I would probably only put meat in long-term storage. I don’t want to have to pull things out of long-term storage and still need to cook them. I feel like that sort of defeats the purpose, yanno. I would probably not do meat for short term storage, as my freezer would be sufficient. Does that make sense?
