Do you know what a freeze dryer is? It’s a neat machine. It definitely makes food long-lasting by sucking out all the water! Did you know that you could make your own freeze dryer right in your own home? That's right! With a bit of ingenuity and the right materials, you don’t have to either)… you can have your very own homemade freeze dryer.
To construct your own freeze dryer homemade- style, you will need a large cooler, dry ice, a metal rack, a small fan and food that you want to preserve. Opt for foods that hold up well to freezing, such as fruits, fresh veggies and even full meals.
Set the metal rack in the cooler and the bottom with dry ice. Be cautious with the dry ice, it’s extremely cold! Then place your food on the rack, making sure to leave room for the air to circulate around each piece. Finally, the fan on top of the cooler is to help get the cold air moving.
Tighten the lid on the cooler, and let it do its thing. The dry ice is going to sublimate, or turn into gas slowly, in the process creating a cold place that will freeze dry your food over time. This can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days, depending on the type of food you’re freezing.
And by building a freeze dryer at home, you can save money on expensive freeze-dried foods from the store, reduce food waste by preserving leftovers and extra fruits and veggies, and enjoy favorite snacks any time. This isn’t just a smart choice, it also gives you the power to decide what goes into the foods you save.
A do-it-yourself freeze dryer can be used to try an unlimited variety of foods and flavors, providing your own delicious freeze-dried snacks. You could dry out your own crunchy fruit snacks, tasty vegetable chips or even freeze-dried ice cream. Experiment with cooking and ask your freezed-dried treats made at home!
