Zucchini is a very wet vegetable. I'll give this some thought. Because - they really are delicious

 

[Mini Horses]

Yes, it is wet -- which is why a suggested partial dehydrate before baking crackers. I'll give it a go when garden is growing.

Just about to pull 4 trays of eggs out of the freeze dryer. That's 60 eggs

Done!

Is freeze drying the same as using a dehydrator?

Yes and no. Both processes involve removing moisture. Dehydrating uses heat, freeze drying uses extreme cold and a vacuum. Freeze drying removes more moisture, and hence the final product is more shelf stable.

i'd be really afraid to try doing eggs that ways and i wonder what the texture and flavor is like on the fine scale of things since i seem to notice a lot of strange things that others don't seem to mind.
