Just curious: How do you freeze-dry? I heard you need some expensive, commercial-grade equipment.

Hi thank you for your comment, freezdried food is frozen, with all of the water content being evaporated at the same time so the h20 never 2'd. It's hard for me to explain in this one comment. I mainly use / Used mine to preserve foods for the next 20 years. I'll link photos, it's about the size of a small fridge. Commercial grade, Yes. Expensive? Not if you put it to work and have it pay for itself.

Awesome! Thank you! I was always curious cause I wanted to make dippin dots as a teen but was told that, so I have been wondering what all of these people selling freeze-dried food out of their homes had at home.

Oh sweet! So it's like an oven or one of those commercial food dryers!

For some reason, I was picturing some type of cylinder that you open with all kinds of dry-ice vapor coming out, and you needing some heavy duty rubber gloves to reach down inside and pull out candy 🤣.

That's awesome.

That would be sweet to have a liquid nitrogen candy shop. Lol.

I seen those candy kiosks where they dunk candy in something so when you eat it it explodes into vapor and looks like your todler took a hit off of your vape in the middle of a mall
