That funnel is 100% worth the money. We love it! You can raise or lower it depending on the size of bag you have. Way less mess.

[@DIYfreezedry]

[@gayeknight]

My husband took an all natural cat liter container, which is food safe, and cut off the bottom. The shape is rectangular and my medium tray fits into the bottom of the container. If I screw the lid on, I can empty my trays into the container and then use the spout as a funnel into my small or large bags. I can also use it with a regular mouth funnel to fill mason jars. I do not spill my precious food.

[@DIYfreezedry]

[@DIYfreezedry]

@@gigihenderson8567 amazing I’m definitely going to order one! Thank you!

[@tamialexander2487]

Pkg tip: when I freeze dry something that can be ‘powdered’ (examples: raw eggs, milk, pourable mixes,etc.) I break it up, slip tray in open end of a plastic bag(ziplock or something similar. I use a twist tie bag I get at Walmart that comes in a box of 100)and dump in. Easy and with no spillage! Then I use my meat tenderizer hammer to gently pound and powder it while holding closed open end. Much easier and less messy than a blender! Then the bag can be used to pour powder in either a jar or Mylar bag. End result takes up way less volume, sharp edges don’t puncture bag, and less to no lumps when reconstitute.

[@DIYfreezedry]

@@tamialexander2487 this is such a great tip. Thank you for sharing! I will definitely be trying this.

[@cindysebastiani998]

I throw my dried mixes, such as milk, eggs, etc into my blender and turn it into a powder. My husband cut the top (pour spout) off of a water bottle (I think 5 gallon) and smoothed the edges. I use that as a large funnel as it fits into my mason jars. A quart mason jar holds so much. I write out all the pertinent information, what it is, how much per serving and water needed, etc, date it and seal the jar. Attach the paper to the jar and put it on a shelf. Jars can be broken and yes they are heavier but I’m 70 and I like the looks of food stuffs in mason jars.

[@lulamamie8524]

I have also heard the term “Dutch Baby” several You Tubers I watch use sourdough discard to make their Dutch Babies. Oh I wanted to say that I finally threw out my plastic egg slicer and went to Amazon and ordered a German made stainless steel egg slicer 🎉🥳 Edited to say, that a cast iron pan works best. Maybe put a good size pan (that would feed your family) on your Christmas wish list 😉 🎉😁

[@katherinez9654]

[@jonijarvis6391]

To hold my FD bags upright for filling I stand them up in an empty ZipLock bag box. Put a canning funnel in the bag opening and it works pretty darn good. You could also empty your tray contents into a gallon storage bag, twist it closed and stick a corner of it into your FD bag and snip off a corner like people do with piping frosting. I've never tried that method yet. I just can't see spending $80? $90? for a fancy funnel set-up yet.

Hi there! If at all possible, I would try to buy organic grains (flour) and beans for your beautiful family. Glyphosate is sprayed on these items about two weeks before they’re harvested. It works as a desiccant agent so farmers can harvest earlier and more predictably. G-sate can cause ADD and ADHD symptoms as it crossed the blood brain barrier. SOOO BAD for little developing minds. Just a thought. If you can pinch in other places, please try to find economical sources for all grains, including wheat, rice, etc., and beans and legumes. 🙏🏼 Love your channel!

really funny to see what you call German. Here in Germany I only know Pfannkuchen out of the skillet and they are flat, not fluffy. The fluffy ones you can tear in pieces and then it is called a Kaiserschmarrn which is a very famous Austrian dish. By the way, try it with apple slices in the mix and if it is baked, put a cinnamon/sugar mix on top, that is my favorite way to eat them.
