Trying out the freeze drier!
Potatoes
I cut up some of the new - damaged potatoes and boiled them until soft. Then i placed them on the FDer trays and dried them. After they were dry, I used the vitamix to turn them into powder. Note that I had used the FDer about 5 times at this point and the machine was taking longer to get down to vacuum. I also suspected that the potatoes weren't as dry as I wanted - but they seem fine so far. I am watching them. I also repackaged these with O2 absorber and vacuum sealed in jars.

| 1 tray of boiled taters = about 1 pint (a little bit more) |
Zucchini
I cut up the squash into cubes and blanched it for a few minutes. Then I placed on tray and placed in FDer with the taters above.

| It doesnt even look dry! |
Tomatoes
I did a tray of tomatoes with the above mix since I had one tray left.

| Tomatoes feel like fine styrofoam when dry! |
