HOW DOES IT WORK? The entire process is automatic. Raw or cooked foods are placed in the freeze dryer where they are frozen to between -30 degrees and -50 degrees Fahrenheit. Once frozen, the freeze dryer creates a vacuum in the food chamber. As the food is gradually warmed, the water turns to vapor and evaporates out of the food (sublimation). When dry, the freeze dryer notifies the user that the process is complete by sounding an audible beep. You can then remove the freeze-dried food from the dryer and place it in vacuum-sealed containers that are moisture and oxygen-proof (preferably a mylar pouch or a can) to ensure freshness until opened. When water is added to the food, it regains its original fresh flavor, aroma, texture, and appearance!
