One thing to bear in mind is that these seem to be a bit of a fad at the moment. If they're as annoying to use as it seems, that means there's likely to be a glut on the used market in the next couple of years. Like treadmills and scuba gear.

I wonder how a pressure cooker would be for forcing the moisture in.

@LanceThumping Yes. Someone else said the dried fruits were great in home-made icecream. Though I got some that were packaged and they were pretty good just as snacks.

@garydiamondguitarist Honestly? I got an air fryer basically for free and it get used a lot. It's basically a fast convection oven. Getting much more value out of it than the instant pot.

@jendakrynicky5218 I thought from the preview YT gave me that you were going to say because the device would weigh less in space. I need to go to bed early tonight :D

So it's not really freeze-drying? Sounds like something I could build out of parts I have lying around.

@broncogrizz The ones I had were very reminiscent of meringue but flavored.

@LanceThumping I'm sure ones that just need some simple repairs will be popping up too.

I've been wondering if you cold make a not-quite-as-good freeze dry machine by putting a vacuum chamber in a chest freezer. You'd have to drill a hole for the vacuum line, of course. The main deal is that I think these machines get down colder than a chest freezer so the only question is whether chest freezers get cold enough or not. I guess I should dig out a water phase diagram.

Interesting info.

@ashyslashy5818 Maybe inflation has factored in with enough time too.

What is it they say about things that fly, float or freeze-dry?

You wouldn't have to wait for your kettle if you had a 240V electric kettle! (Sorry, just had to).

@broncogrizz I got given some recently. It was OK but mostly a novelty I think. It seems to be quite popular at the moment though.
