Freeze Drying Digest

2nd batch of shredded cheese is in the FD. We use a lot of cheese...

Looking over everything I've done so far, it's dawned on me that I really need a strategy on how this is going to get used or rotated.

I'm labeling with the date frozen and packaged, and then filing in bins and using front to back and filling from the back.

I put the date on everything too... My DH generally does most of the cooking. He doesn't think ahead unless it's marinating meat. So if we want to actually use any of this to rotate the stock, it's going to have to be actively done by me personally.

Did you make Jello pudding? Or just buy the pre-made and freeze dried it? I would have never thought to do pudding

I might try ice cream sandwiches later this weekend. I've got chicken breast in right now and green beans and more corn waiting in the freezer for their turn.

I made two small boxes of jello pudding, instant. poured it on the pan after it got thick in the bowl, added my dividers, froze, and then into the freeze dryer.

So the trick with ice cream stuff is to let the freeze dryer prechill for longer than 15 mintues. Let it drop below 32' first then add the ice cream

Everything came out amazing!
Next new thing is banana pudding with banana slices and Nilla wafers, more rice, and some cooked ground beef- oc not at the same time.
