We just pulled the trigger on a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer (L) and while I’m getting spun up on the operation I’m wondering if any of you have any tips, tricks, or favorite recipes?

We mainly got it for garden preservation and long term preparedness but I’m really excited to start making my own backpacking meals. We’ve been sticking to a Whole 30 type diet (dairy, gluten, and seed oil free) for almost a year now and feel great on it so I’m picturing lots of hearty stews, soups and rice dishes.

To get things started we currently have it on a cheap Harbor Freight steel cart in the garage and I’m planning to set it on some foam board and plywood to help dampen the sound. Anyone find success limiting the sounds/vibrations from the machine and the vacuum pump without compromising performance?
