I have a simple technique to freeze liquids. First, take a Ziploc baggie and pour the liquid in it, so that it is no taller than the freezer trays. When you've got about four of them, put them in the freezer to freeze solid. Then take them out, cut them open with a scissors and lay them on the trays, and they can even overlap a little if needed. That way you don't have to lift that tray up into a freezer or walk with liquid in a tray. That's an accident waiting to happen this way you have solid chunks of liquid that you set on the trays and put in the machine.

Make yourself a funnel out of Foodsaver bag material longer than the tray. It works well with any freeze dried food and contains the mess.

Happy Birthdays🎉 This freeze-drying machine is impressive. I can see a shared arrangement between friends, a church group, a community center of some sort. Costs could be shared. Eggs are seasonal so being able to freeze-dry them during the long days would sure help in winter. Preparedness means a lot to me and I like learning from your thorough work. Hardest part: getting a tray to the oven.

Couldn’t get my battery operated sealer to work so I had my son and DIL come over to see what I was doing wrong. Well they couldn’t get to work right either. They had ordered one and loved it. I guess I was sent a lemon, even if it seals it come UN sealed shortly after. I am a big canner have canned for 47 years and will just stick to the old way. I do love my freeze dryer it works great. After four loads it stopped working so I called the company they said it needed an up date that I needed to down and put it on a stick. I told her I haven’t a clue on doing any of that. So after paying thousands for my freeze dryer I had to pay $10.00 to have them download the up date and send me in the snail mail. When I received the stick and put into my Freeze Right Mac it only took maybe 2 minutes for the update. Glad to have that working properly but that sealer needs to go to the dump.

Wonderful people were born in August 😁😁. Two of my Grands were and my goodness, they too have gorgeous hearts 💕. Happy Birthday!! Have you ever used yellow, orange, and red peppers as bread replacements? The veggie eggs call out to me as candidates for "'peppers'" bread instead. I realize you are monitoring nutrients and might include bread in the mix and not want peppers as bread. Oh, I didn't include green peppers because I am not fond of them as bread replacement 😀.

I am concerned about mixing raw eggs in the freeze dryer with cooked eggs. My understanding is that when processing raw meats and eggs that I have to sterilize my machine before processing foods that are cooked, or raw, like fruits and vegetables that wouldn't be cooked later. Do you know about that? I normally do 2 batches of 6 dozen eggs then sanitize my machine before further processing... just did that exact same thing this week when freeze drying eggs then freeze drying roasted chicken from Costco.

Our sealer is pretty strong and would break the egg squares, which I don't want. I want them to maintain their shape for making sandwiches. But you could do either--they both accomplish the same end result.
