In any case, maybe it will help some newbie HR Freeze Dryer owners to answer some of the questions I once had.
Vic says: 2 years ago Going on a second year with the freeze dryer. Considering getting another one. It really takes commitment, but it is very rewarding. The freezer is good also, but it needs constant source of electricity, and the storage is limited to the size of the freezer.
I do the same with mango, using freeze dried mango that is imported from Germany. Whole freeze dried strawberries enrobed in white chocolate are amazing, like strawberry malted milk balls with that great crunch in the middle.
Then I hit the Ice edge with a large flat blade screwdriver and the entire sheet comes loose in one piece. I may try the gun again using your technique.
Hrmm... maybe not freeze drying sorbet but I imagine using freeze dried fruits IN sorbet would give a much more intense flavour. Especially for things like watermelon which I've had great trouble sorbeting successfully.
4) I made a plastic shield to protect the main circuit board of the FDer. it simply slides into place and protects the top and both sides of the board from condensation.

I did have a vacuum hose fitting leak at the FDer port once. I had similar symptoms to yours. I found that the hose would slightly rotate even when the fitting was snug.
Unlike laboratory freeze dryers, they usually don’t need drying at such high speeds, which is the biggest difference between the two.
Most other methods for extracting water also destroy enzymes and terpenes due to heat being used in the extraction process. Because freeze drying does not use heat during operation, the enzymes and terpenes in freeze dried products are not destroyed.
When buying from resellers, those terms may change as they’re affected by the relationship between the manufacturer and the reseller.
01%, effectively preserve these packaged foods without the need for preservatives or additives and without the need for vacuum sealing.
Is it flash freezing and dehydrating at the same time? Do the items need to be kept frozen, or stored at room temp?
So the bottom line is this: If you can afford the money and time to spend on freeze-drying your own food and you believe the need for the food is many months or years away, then eventually the Harvest Right freeze dryer will pay for itself.
