As I have mentioned before, I love my home freeze dryer! It's saved me countless times from tossing out valuable leftovers. Ever the budget-conscience saver, I hate to waste food so being able to save a meal for another day without taking up precious freezer space is right up my alley.

Freeze-Drying & Reconstitution Directions:
For these recipes, you'll want to load each of your freezer dryer trays about ¼” from the top rim of the tray ensuring that food on each tray is evenly distributed and spread out. You don't want to overpack your trays or go over the rim of the tray.
Following your manufacturer’s instructions, freeze dry until each tray is completely dried. Each recipe takes about 18-24 hours to completely dry in my medium-sized Harvest Right freeze dryer. Once the food is completely dried, carefully remove from the trays and add to mylar bags. We like to store our filled bags in a food-safe 5-gallon bucket in a temperature-controlled environment.
When ready to eat, slowly add water until you have reached your desired consistency and heat through.
