What happens here

Carefully arrange the sliced squash pieces on the prepared trays. Ensure that the slices are spread out in a single layer to allow for proper air circulation and even drying. If you have different varieties (e.g., yellow squash and zucchini), it's advisable to place them on separate trays. This helps maintain distinct flavors and ensures that each type dries optimally according to its specific moisture content and thickness. Once arranged, slide the loaded trays into the pre-cooled 'Prep for Life' freeze dryer.

Goal: Organize squash for optimal freeze-drying and place into the machine.
