Our take on the Harvest Right 5-Tray Home Freeze Dryer, Medium Size

The Harvest Right 5-Tray Home Freeze Dryer is a countertop appliance that freeze-dries fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy, full meals and desserts for long-term storage. Its patented process is claimed to keep taste, texture and nutrition for up to 25 years without shrinking food, and it handles large pieces rather than the small dice found in store-bought freeze-dried goods. It suits gardeners, hunters, bulk buyers and preppers who want to put up food at home. Against canning and dehydrating it is far more hands-off and preserves more of the original texture, but it is a bulky, heavy machine that runs for many hours per batch and costs far more than a dehydrator.

About the Harvest Right 5-Tray Home Freeze Dryer, Medium Size

The Harvest Right Medium Home Freeze Dryer preserves food at home by freeze drying it. The process keeps the food's aroma, flavor, color, shape and nutritional content, and it typically retains 97% of the nutritional value. Food can be stored for up to 25 years. Adding water restores it.

It handles fruits, vegetables, meats, eggs, dairy, ice cream, desserts and complete meals such as lasagna, chili, beef stew, casseroles and pasta. Large pieces can be freeze-dried whole, such as apricot halves, thick peach slices, cooked steak slabs and whole shrimp.

To use it, load prepared food or leftovers and press start. A cycle takes about 20 to 36 hours, after which the food is ready to package. The unit has five stainless steel trays with 675 square inches of tray space.

Questions and answers

How long does a batch take?
Expect many hours per load, often a full day or more depending on the food and its moisture. Pre-freezing the trays before the cycle adds time.
What foods can it freeze-dry?
Fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy, complete meals and desserts. Large pieces work, so you are not limited to the small dice in store-bought products.
Does freeze-dried food really last 25 years?
Harvest Right claims up to 25 years when food is properly dried and sealed in airtight storage. Shelf life depends on packaging and moisture.
How does it compare with canning or dehydrating?
It is more hands-off than canning and keeps more of the original texture and nutrition than dehydrating. It also handles foods those methods cannot, but it costs more and runs longer.
What maintenance does it need?
The vacuum pump requires periodic oil changes. Check the oil level and change it on the schedule Harvest Right gives.
How much counter space does it need?
It is a large, heavy appliance, so plan on dedicated counter or cart space and clearance around it for airflow.
