    I have three questions for the next "answering post". 1. I canned apple pie filling with flour before I knew that was not safe. Is there any way to salvage it? 2. What happens if I add too much liquid to canned meat, then it makes its own also? 3. We tried to dehydrate fruit that was not quite done in the freeze dryer and it got worse. Do you think that is because we are not in the desert? I wrote these questions on the post from 10 months ago but not sure if you go back and check old posts.

    We do this with Costco rotisserie chickens. Three shredded chickens will fill out four trays pretty well. Do you use new lids with the jars when vacuum sealing? Have you ever tried tattler lids for vacuum sealing? Lids have gotten so expensive.

    I'd love to make a suggestion: zero out a scale with the tray, put everything on the tray, weight it, freeze dry it, weigh it after with the same zero data, calculate the percentage of water loss, write that down on the container. Now you will never have to worry about excessively or insufficiently watering your food (that sound silly lol)

    Thank you,thank you, thank you for test running your freeze-dried food. So many channels don’t do that and we end up making, and it turns out to be junk. Thank you again I appreciate you guys hard work that you put in these videos.

    Hi Pam and Jim, love the video, as always! Looks delicious! Did the freeze-drying take a lot longer by not pre-freezing the trays? It looks easier not to freeze them first. Have a great trip. It is wonderful seeing you both enjoying your retirement so much!😊❤
