    I made this, prefroze it, and left it in the FD for 41 hours. The raisins were a bit tacky. You seem to have experience with dried fruits. Have you eaten any FD fruit that is a few years old? I'm questioning the long-term viability of FD food.

    Has anyone used any of their freeze dried food that’s at least a few years old? I’m learning that mylar bags have a fairly high failure rate and am concerned about using them for long-term storage of freeze dried food.

    Well, I did make a batch of toasted steel cut oats ( 4 cups before cooking), coconut cream, pecans, walnuts, hemp seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, chunky applesauce, dried cranberries, 1/4 cup of Monkfruit sweetener, cinnamon, nutmeg, pinch of salt and ground ginger and after I put a thick amount into the trays I waited for it to cool down then I scored it into bar size and freeze dried it. It broke easily at the scored line and very little "dust" plus the texture is great!
    IT TURNED OUT FANTASTIC!!!

    I will now make a bunch for my grand kids!

    Looks great as a perfect dry bar for hiking or a quick meal rehydrated. We love our Harvest Right. Thanks for sharing this great idea. Always amazed at how much food can fit in one batch.

    I am now making this recipe but I toasted the oats first in a thick cast iron pan with a tiny amount of ghee and I added a wee bit more cinnamon ( because I like it!) and instead of fresh apples I used up some home canned chunky applesauce and threw in a cup of freeze dried cinnamon apple chunks I previously freeze dried last Fall.
    You gave me a great idea to use this recipe but add in nuts, seeds etc…to make a "granola bar" for dry eating which will be my next batch in the freeze dryer.
    Seems like it would hold together fairly well but can you think of anything I might add to bind it all together for the granola bar without it crumbling when done freeze drying?
    Wish me luck!

    Great video. That looks very good and so easy to make. Have you ever made any alfredo sauce recipes with maybe chunks of chicken and macaroni or fettuccine? Some thing easy to reconstitute but tastes great and who doesn't love a good alfredo sauce. Here in Louisiana we do a lot of blackened chicken, fish, and alligator and if you like spicy food, this would be fun to try to FD if you did the meat in chunks. Keep up the great work.

    👍 exactly what I was hoping you would do. Simple cook in instant pot and then freeze dry. Thank you

    Other ideas
    Make your own “mountain house” with less sodium. I think almost any instant pot recipes with low fat will freeze dry great.
    Then the reverse
    Garden surplus that has been freeze dried into the instant pot with other ingredients for sure fire quick diner like
    Freeze dried Celery, onion, garlic, chicken, bone broth….and pour over Rice noodles and you have pho.

    Excellent and exciting hope that you can do more.
