    That was an awesome demonstration of turning cheese into shelf stable shreds and then powder for mac N cheese. Your daughter looked very happy to have your home made cheese sauce on her noodles too. Thank you for sharing the information with us about the extra drying time too cause Nobody wants to hear the machine calling them to take care of products in the middle of the night.

    Thank you for explaining the cycles of the freeze dryer. Very informative. The macaroni and cheese looked good. That powdered cheese would probably be GREAT on popcorn! I remember when my girls were younger they would occasionally be allowed to go to a fast food restaurant and get shake-um fries. Fries with a powdered cheese shaken on them. They loved them! Their adult selves would be OVER THE MOON excited if I were to serve a homemade version for them now! Ahhhhhh nostalgia…. 😊

Every Collaborator has such valuable and different information to share. The processes you have shown has made me think about the many options with freeze drying cheese and uses.... even to powder or not and when. The additional things you shared about your learning curve will be invaluable to so many. I have been trying to get educated during my saving for a freeze dryer and I just can't wait to use all that I am learning from you all. Thank you.
