Hey fellow freeze dryer 😍 longer freeze drying won’t do much more for those candies that didn’t. Some candies have higher oil contents making them not freeze dry. As for gummie bears it’s all about what brand you buy. Try different brands and yes chocolate won’t freeze dry but chocolate ice cream will 😍

Becky, just a tip on freeze-drying: high sugar content items can explode or not freeze-dry well, if you do high-sugar foods, it may take longer, but for things like ketchup, people suggest diluting it with water, this way the sugar will be spread out and it will freeze dry better. Freeze drying process only removes water through sublimation, which is the process of getting water from solid state (ice) directly to vapor state, bypassing the liquid state. That can be done by getting the water below triple point, via low temperatures and low pressure. Fats can not be freeze dried. Therefore, chocolate will never freeze dry due to high fat content (cacao butter). If you want to store freeze-dried food long-term, you have to modify the recipes to eliminate any fats, oils, butter. It is just the matter of getting creative. Otherwise, the food will go rancid because the fats in it will go rancid. I love Skittles, mini marshmallows, both white and colored. Yogurt drops are nice too. You can freeze the chocolate silicone forms that are filled with low fat yogurt of your choice, fruit containing ones are better, then carefully pop them onto the tray and FD. But the best one is FD vanilla icecream. I buy mine from a local creamery that makes their icecream from real milk. Put the dollups of icecream on the parchment paper since they will be very delicate when done, they are THE BEST! My family loves them, including my dog! Remember to put your trays in the freeze dryer while it is pre-cooling for frozen foods, then take out the trays and fill them with your frozen goodies to avoid melting, pop them back into the machine and start the cycle. Use gloves to handle frozen trays. Don't mix pre-frozen and non-frozen food. Good luck! And I am truly sorry about Gizmo!

Hi, first off thank you for your comment. I find it very helpful I’m going to screenshot this for a reference. Do you know if you can dip the FD item in chocolate or caramel and it still be consumable? Also, do you think most store bought ice cream are too high in sugar to FD? Thank you for any answers you provide!
@Elena-yw6ni
Жыл бұрын
@@tariaynnajohnson6365 you can absolutely dip freeze-dried pieces of fruit or other things in chocolate or caramel, it will obviously be not for long-term storage but for immediate enjoyment. Freeze-drying creates a crunchy or fluffy texture, depending on what it is. Freeze-dried goods absorb moisture right away , but mixing different textures creates a twist. So, don't be afraid to experiment and see if you like the outcome. As for the store-bought icecream, people buy ice cream sandwiches and freeze-dry them, as long as the thickness is reasonable. Some people cut them up in smaller pieces. Increasing surface area is very helpful and efficient to FD properly. Try to freeze dry icecream, as long as there is no chocolate in it, I mean chocolate morsels and chunks, not the chocolate-flavored icecream that has cacao powder in it. That one is good. Chocolate chunks have cacao butter, and that is fat that won't FD. Good luck!

They become such an important part of our lives, it a big adjustment not having them around... 💔 I enjoyed this video - as always & it was fun to see the other side of the family having fun together! Have a good weekend.
Becky and Josh...I don't even have the words...I am so, so sorry to hear about Gizmo...peace and love. Lori
When I freeze dry liquids, I place the liquids into 1 quart zip top bags (don't over fill, just about 2 1/2 cups per bag) lay them flat and freeze. Then when they are completely frozen cut away the bags and lay the frozen "bricks" onto the trays and place in the freeze dryer. No drips or spillage. Easy peasey.
This is so fun! “Don’t eat it yet, it’s like communion!” 😂

Hi Becky! I made your spinach dip tonight and it was amazing! I also made the Bacon wrapped dates, I overcooked them. They were still good! Love to watch your videos!!

Condolences on Gizmo, we lost our 15 year old cockerspaniel last week, such a sad time. Well done trying something different with the freeze drier. I'd love one but they cost a small fortune here in Australia.

Becky, I’m so sorry to hear about Gizmo’s passing. My husband and I lost our first dog and I had to take the day off work because I couldn’t stop crying. Losing a fur baby is so traumatic. Prayers to you, Josh and the rest of the family. 🙁🙏🙏💙💙

If you’re going to freeze dry candy try putting either the mats that come with it on the trays before hand or you could use parchment paper a lot easier to get off the tray clean up is better

Most can’t does not do well on the mats. They do not come with the dryer, sold separately.
I’m so sorry for your loss!
Some of you guys have inspired me to start my on channel. i had a stroke a few years back i wanted to start a homesteading content. we have lots of animals but my left leg isn't to good so have to use a cane left hand doesn't work at all so walking around with a Camra while doing my chores just doesn't work. lol but as i was watching some of you guys freeze drying cooking, canning one day i thought what the heck i can cook and love cooking, canning and have a freeze dryer and love talking. lol i can put the camera on a tripod so I'm gonna do it i made three little videos just fooling round talking cooking shared on face book got great feed back so down loaded to you tube for a start pray for me pleas .
I forgot to tell you on a previous video that you were doing on garlic, living traditions Homestead has a garlic peeler on their Amazon affiliate page. I think it’s only around six dollars and they swear by it for peeling garlic easily and quickly. If I remember right, they are the ones that look like black and blue tubes. From what they had demonstrated, you just put a clove of garlic into it, rub/roll it back and forth A few times and a naked piece of garlic will fall out. That should make your garlic peeling go a lot faster for you. 💙💙💙
So sorry about Gizmo. My sympathies are with you.
Oh! I’m sooo sorry to hear about Gizmo! I don’t know how I missed that. I know y’all loved him so much! Hugs from me to y’all!!

The medicalization of pets with all the unnecessary chemicals is what is killing dogs with cancer. Flea and tick meds, toxic heartworm and gastro worm meds combined, unnecessary vaccines. All for money. Did you know that merely 50 years ago small dogs lasted well into their 20s and large dogs 17 years+. Avoid GMOs in their food. Condolences to you. My dogs are 9, 5, 5,5 and I rescue, train, nourish and re-home 25 more per year! My cat is 18 1/2. All rescues. Some purebreds. Open your heart and home to more. Dogs need good people like you 🐾❤️🐾❤️💕🐾❤️🐾💕🐾❤️🐾💕🐾❤️🐾💕🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I’ve been told to turn the temp up to 145F when FD candy. I’ve only done it once and had similar results to you. Next time I’ll figure out how to turn up the temp. Next time try ice cream sandwiches! They’re awesome.
Cracker Barrel has lemon drops. They have two locations near you; Beaverton and Portland. I love your channel. You have a ton of instructive ideas. Keep up the good work.
I love you and your style so much. Even when I have zero interest in something you’re doing, I still watch your videos. Keep up all the amazing work!
I did skittles. They came out good. I did gummy bears but I didn't leave any space between them. They stopped expanding about 1/4 inch shy of the tray above them. One solid tray of a beautiful mess. I loved them after I spent a couple hours trying to separate them

What brand gummy bears did you use?
Milk duds are my favorite freeze dried candy. Second would be marshmallows. And my 3rd would have to be peppermints 4th would be the starburst and then my number one all time favorite candy ever reg and freeze dried is nerd clusters. Gummy warms are also funny and yummy. A few months back before I had my son I ended up ordering a lot of freeze dried candy from a website 😂 I would honestly love to do it my self.

So sorry for the loss of your precious fur baby. You are a wonderful fur baby mom.🙏🙏
Sorry about your fur baby. I lost mine 6 months ago too to bone cancer so may God bless you to heal my friend..
I think the sugar content has a lot to do with whether or not candy will freeze dry. Caramel is so dense; it may work if it is cut into thin slices.

Becky, are you sure you weren't drumming up business for your dentist office?? lol. that stuff looks like it was rough on the teeth (but totally delicious).
So sorry for the loss of your sweet Gizmo, Becky. I hope you can consider adopting a new pup soon. I lost my dear Benjamin just about two years ago and we adopted a puppy shortly after we lost him. She doesn’t replace him, but having her sweet self with us definitely helped the grieving process after losing our boy. And as far as freeze drying candy, make sure you try Milk Duds. They come out the absolute best! Also, try the gummy bears for longer they puff up really big. Set your FD at 145 degrees for Candy. I learned that from one of my FDing Facebook groups.

Jacob is hilarious! This family is so darling and fun. The candy jars look scrumptious too.
Love this idea! Wonder what a sucker would do, you know the ones with a tootsie roll in the center? The outside, I imagine, would blow up like the jolly ranchers do but the inside would be interesting... Have you freeze dried marshmallow? Like a peep or any type of candy with marshmallow in them? Could be fun!

Your brother-in-law, (I think I heard Jacob) is absolutely hilarious! Would love to see more of him!
Greetings from East Texas! Looks like you had a blast! Hope you had a wonderful and Blessed Thanksgiving
If I remember correctly it takes longer for things like peach rings you might try the ones that didn’t do well do them together since they’re closer to the same kind
Peach Rings are soooooo good! I wonder if you would like actual watermelon if it was freeze-dried...might be something to think about! Will definitely have to try the Junior Mints when I get my freeze dryer. I am so sorry to hear about Gizmo, sending prayers your way!

Hi Becky. I've been a little active in a few groups trying to learn as much as I can before my machine arrives. The consensus seems to be peoples top 3 are Salt Water Taffy, Skittles and Jolly Ranchers. As for the gummy bears, I've seen that there are certain brands that they all agree do not freeze dry well. I'll find the brands that work and let you know. They also recommend taffy gets cut in 1/4's and use your garden snippers to cut the Jolly Ranchers in 1/3's so that they don't get all chewey before you are done chewing. So fun! And if you do anything at 145, you can piggy back the Skittles and mini marshmallows for ony 4 - 6 hours once a full run is done. Sending love!
