@@cluckieschickens I think (hope) freeze dryers follow the same pattern of early camcorder, video cassette recorders, and DVD players. They started out overly expensive and only people with large disposable incomes could afford them. The early adopters funded the industry until the technology was affordable for most people. We're still in the early adoption phase. There was only one manufacturer for the home market for years, now there are four or five. Hopefully with competition the quality will go up and the prices will go down. Unfortunately, how much disposable income we have seems to fluctuate every 4 years or so.

Sarah, in case you never heard of it, another great thing to use onion skins for: if you’re making hard boiled eggs and you don’t want to confuse them in the fridge with your raw, in shell eggs, just put some of the skins in the water when you cook your eggs, and it turns the shells a light “brownish” color, and you won’t confuse them anymore , even if stored side by side.

We have owned our freeze dryer for well over a year and have kept it going almost non-stop. We have at least 3ys stock of persevered foods processed now. Meats, veggies, juices, soups, etc. We had every intention of making this give us a return on investment when we purchased it, and boy has it. We chose the medium, the same as the one featured here, but we wish we had ponyed up for the large since we use it continuously. The only rest it gets is during the defrost stage. We have 2 sets of Harvest Right trays and one set that I fabricated from some stainless steel sheet metal that I had in my iron pile. That way, we always have loaded trays of frozen food ready for rotation in the freeze dryer. There is a learning curve, but like anything else worthwhile, it's rewarding to discover the tricks and surprises.

The only time I feel like I wasted is if it goes into the trash bin to be hauled to landfill.

Our freeze dryer has really helped us cut down on our food waste! I put a lot of food up by canning and freezing but if things are nearing their "best by" date and haven't been used yet, that's when they go in the freeze dryer. No more throwing out canned or frozen foods because we couldn't use them up soon enough! It's also a great way to take advantage of sales and lower prices when things are in season. And when we are drowning in eggs we freeze dry them to use over the winter. Yes, they are expensive but they are an investment in self reliance and they really do save you money in the long run - and can even make you money! We bought ours on layaway and even though it took awhile it was definitely worth the wait!
