With our problem with the tattlers, and the shortage of normal lids; we took the plunge and bought the medium sized
Harvest Right freeze dryer.
My wife loves it and has kept it running 24/7 for the last 2 months. If you can afford it, I highly recommend it for ease of use and for saving storage space. It removes all the water from whatever you are drying and gives it a shelf life of up to 25 years, without sacrificing taste or nutrition.
