Thawed Items

Our fridge is packed with salvaged thawed items, chicken broth and a whole chicken to name a few. 

I found a soup recipe that calls for a whole chicken. A bit misleading because you make broth with the whole chicken and then make soup afterwards from parts of both the meat and broth. Still, an easy enough recipe and the broth smells really good. 

The formerly frozen chicken broth I decided to freeze dry. I've freeze dried broth before, and it turned out fine. This is a bit of an experiment because this particular chicken broth is not very flavorful. I think we added too much water to the roaster when we were making the broth. I'm curious if freeze drying it will improve the flavor since all of the water will be taken out. 

Instead of filling the trays and freezing them in the freezer, I put empty trays in the freeze dryer and filled them directly in the machine with a long spouted funnel.


That worked very slick! Now, how many days will it take to freeze dry them???
