welcome back to the freeze dry business
0:01
my name is David I'm a freeze-dried
0:04
business owner located here in Boise
0:05
Idaho I own a company called freeze dry
0:08
Depot it's been running for about two
0:09
years if you are a freeze dry business
0:11
owner whether you are in cottage food or
0:14
you're in a licensed commercial kitchen
0:15
like me these videos are for you I show
0:17
you how to prep different types of
0:19
fruits candies ice cream so that you're
0:22
more informed on how to get things
0:23
executed quickly and safely as well as
0:26
making the most money on your product
0:28
today we're going to be doing pineapple
0:30
and I haven't done this for a while just
0:32
because sometimes I found it to be
0:34
inconsistent and with a Harvest Right
0:37
freeze dryer I've just found that
0:39
sometimes it just takes over 48 hours to
0:42
do so I limit them out of pineapple that
0:44
I do I focus on other fruits that don't
0:46
take as long and are a little bit less
0:48
inconsistent but I'm going to do
0:49
pineapple just because I think it's time
0:51
to go back to it and to show you what
0:53
it's how to do it now I do use a tool
0:55
it's a core that you can find on Amazon
0:58
it's super easy to use it attaches like
1:01
this with the handle and you simply put
1:03
this into the core of the pineapple and
1:06
then twist and it gets all down into the
1:08
core then you pull it out and then you
1:10
use another piece of the tool
1:14
which is this right here and you simply
1:16
push it down through all the pineapple
1:19
and it cuts it into a specific little
1:21
pieces for you this tool has been really
1:24
cheap to use if you want to know exactly
1:27
where to find it I just get it on Amazon
1:28
I've got a link in the description of
1:30
this video if you'd like to purchase it
1:32
through my affiliate link okay so once
1:35
we do the pineapple I'm going to show
1:36
you how to core it using that tool and
1:39
then I'll put it on the tray I've got
1:40
about five pineapple to do just so you
1:42
can see what it looks like and put it in
1:43
the freeze dryer pineapple one takes a
1:47
lot longer in the freeze dryer than you
1:49
might think and that's because one it
1:51
does have water but it has a lot of
1:52
sugars so it takes a lot longer to get
1:55
that really dried through crispy Airy
1:58
taste and uh and product all right so
2:01
like I said this is pineapple this is a
2:04
great tool to use and invest in it's not
2:06
very expensive so if you need to find
2:08
the tool it's in the link in the
2:09
description of this video so I've
2:11
already prepped one pineapple and this
2:13
is the amount of individual pieces that
2:15
I got out of the pineapple once I
2:16
removed the core I've got rental freezer
2:20
paper this is something you can find at
2:21
the store I use the Sticky Side Up on a
2:24
baking sheet and we're just going to put
2:26
all the pineapple on the sheet
2:33
so now we're just going to cut the
2:35
pineapple I like to do one at a time
2:38
so we're just going to use any type of
2:40
knife to cut off the head of it
2:47
there's pineapple we'll toss that in the
2:49
trash okay so here's the core device and
2:51
we're going to punch the top of the
2:54
pineapple and then we're just going to
2:57
and it goes right down into the
3:03
and stays within this cylinder
3:06
and once you kind of feel like it's
3:09
up here see actually you can see the
3:15
then you just pull out all the pineapple
3:19
then you'd attach the top of it
3:25
and then put your slicer down simply do
3:29
that and all the pieces fall off simple
3:35
to get all of individual pineapple out
3:38
set it aside and then let's put it on
3:42
I would not for these individual
3:47
I would not try to overload a sheet when
3:54
and pre-freezing on your freeze dryer
3:57
just allows you to have less time
4:00
on the in the freeze dryer process so
4:03
that it can pre-freeze so I think I can
4:05
fit maybe one more pineapple on this
4:07
tray which is perfect because I have six
4:09
pineapple so I'm going to do three
4:16
and then you just simply push out the
4:34
this is a great device
4:39
super easy to use again I'm getting
4:41
right down to the core I kind of feel it
4:57
here are all the pineapple slices
5:01
so we'll put these pineapple slices on
5:06
in about three pineapples worth of
5:09
slices I put a Reynolds
5:14
Reynolds freezer paper this uh
5:19
slick side like kind of shiny side up
5:21
and I'm arranging all the pineapple to
5:26
be a single file on the paper
5:43
that's about that's perfect for for
6:38
all right so we just did pineapple that
6:40
was six pineapples and I'll tell you I
6:42
paid 1.98 for each one of those
6:45
pineapples so we'll do an Roi
6:47
calculation maybe in another video and
6:50
I'll also show you how long the
6:51
pineapple ran as well as just how long
6:54
it it dried and what the net ounces that
6:57
I got out of those six pineapples
