This is a 5-tray, medium-size freeze dryer with a black aluminum finish. It freeze dries fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy products, meals, desserts and more. Its patented technology preserves the taste, nutrition and texture of nearly any food for up to 25 years.
It handles 10 to 13 lbs. of fresh food per batch, or 1,812 lbs. per year. To use it, press start and the freeze dryer beeps when the batch is finished. The Premier vacuum pump needs its oil filtered and replaced every 25 to 30 batches, which takes 90 to 120 seconds.
A Mylar starter kit is included for sealing and storing the freeze-dried food.
