Well, I can freezer-burn food in a normal freezer, no problem. That’s practically like freeze drying.
That is exactly what it is. And it can be accelerated by slicing thin on racks. Putting in a small fan to circulate the air around. And putting a new bag of cat litter in the bottom with holes punched in it to absorb the moisture. We use a huge stand up freezer so that we can do a whole bunch at a time then vacuum pack it. Only takes about 2-3 weeks and much cheaper than buying freeze dried products, they are crazy out of sight with those prices.
Invest in a sharpie so every package can be dated. Every few months, look for old dates and eat them first.
Section off a chest freezer.
Use the selves in an upright to divide up foods - top shelf chicken and chicken stock, second shelf pork and pork products, third shelf beef, bottom shelf fish and boxed items, door veggies and fruit bags, basket misc and odd shaped packages.
It really doesn’t take but a few minutes to check for old dates and organize. That way you know what to eat first and what you’re short on. Organizing every 4-6 months relieves stress.
