To choose the right trays, consider the size and model of your freeze dryer, the types of products you'll be drying, and the required capacity. Ensure the trays are compatible with your specific freeze dryer model and suited to the materials you plan to preserve.
This long-term stability makes freeze-dried products ideal for emergency preparedness and sustainable food storage.
Harvest Right lets you freeze dry your own food at home to be used on your next hike, backpacking adventure, hunting trip, or camp out. It is lightweight, has less salt, and tastes better than anything else that will fit in your backpack.
Simply press start on the touch screen and the patented Smart Freeze™ technology senses when it’s done.
Users should consider their specific preservation needs and long-term goals when choosing accessories. Factors such as the types of products being freeze-dried, desired output volume, and budget constraints all play a role in determining which accessories will provide the most value.
Freeze dryers utilize a sophisticated preservation method called sublimation, where frozen water in food transforms directly into water vapor without passing through the liquid phase.
The freeze dryer can be somewhat noisy and requires adequate space for operation. Ensure you have a designated area that can accommodate the appliance comfortably.
That’s the decibel equivalent of a running dishwasher compared to a running refrigerator. The oil change frequency also increased from 5 batches to 20 batches, making the already minimal maintenance even easier.

Removing 80% of the moisture does ensure a much longer life for the food (if it is properly stored). But heating the food in this fashion causes it to lose approximately 50% of its nutrient value, and changes some of the baseline characteristics of the food as well.
When compared to purchasing premade freeze-dried food, processing an emergency mix twice per week on your own Home Pro Medium model should see an investment payback of 20 weeks, according to our freeze dryer calculator. There are many assumptions here that you can see in our calculator section below- but we estimated conservatively when needed.
Investing in a Harvest Right freeze dryer isn’t just about the upfront cost. Currently a medium model with the premier oil pump will set you back about $3,200.
It also doesn’t take very much time if the freeze dryer has ‘candy mode’ like our picks. Ranging between 30 minutes to 2 hours per batch makes it easy to process a lot of batches at once.
Once frozen, the food is then exposed to a vacuum, which pulls nearly all of the moisture from it by way of sublimation (2), which transforms the ice directly into vapor, bypassing the liquid stage. By removing all but a tiny percentage of the water in a food item its lifespan is transformed from a few days to two or even three decades.
