We sold a grainmill also, hyped by a friend who had several. Used it some also. Nothing happened and other things incl food was donated or tossed. Now retired, who has time or money to throw away again? not me.

Pelo way, that's pretty cool. Do you have a picture of it, how much are we talking here? 600 lbs seems rather unlikely; I'm thinking more like 60.

Exhaust hoods are necessary part of a commercial kitchen. They are needed for safe operation of the kitchen, plus keeping in line with health standards.

Also, since it’s such a large amount of money in question, you don’t want to lose your warranty, which can happen if you buy through resellers.

We have two freezers in the garage as well. All of these machines generate heat and humidity. Our FDer front regularly sweats up an storm and water drips off the door and from around the entire chamber perimeter down the front of the unit. It got so bad that I taped a plastic shield above the display to route the water around it. You can see the water on the door and on the stainless steel front past the 4 screws on the unit.

They come out as dry and hard as lumber. So, if you try to freeze dry a steak or roast, expect to break a tooth eating it.

Remove all ice every 8 hours of drying time. It is amazing how much faster the drying time drops doing this. A side benefit is water vapor does not contaminate the oil as fast. I've gotten up to 20 cycle per oil change by carefully monitoring the oil and water.

.. Hence the vapor barrier. But once I opened it up I figured I may as well insulate the bare ports as well, and insure that the water was diverted away from the electrics of the system. Once I sealed up the insides I noticed that the condensation on the front panel increased dramatically as the air was trapped between the website plastic vapor barrier and the back of the front panel. That was when the drip rail was installed on the front of the unit.

Don’t buy freeze dryers from companies that lack certifications or a valid history of quality assurance.

usando. The Mind4Survival is also an affiliate of several other companies from which a small commission is earned at no cost to you.

After buying our freeze dryer I was naturally curious as to how it "knew" when something was done, since batch times varied so much depending on what was being processed. Watching the cycle times didn't seem to tell me anything at first -- especially without a thermometer to tell me what was happening inside -- until I finally caught on that applying heat to the frozen food affected the vacuum, which provided the measure of how dry the food had become.

I want to suggest to Teppy that you get a bunch of 8 quart hard plastic foodsaver containers to keep your products in under vacuum, being so low in moisture they attract water and soften rather easily. E-bay is a good source.

Lately, some people have been advocating some very potentially hazardous food preservation and storage practices on foods meant for room temperature storage.

You can have electric or gas grills. Gas grills deliver higher and faster heat. They will also cook more evenly than electric. Electric grills are typically cheaper and will have more functions. However, electric grills heat slowly and can be more difficult to maintain.
