What happens here

Retrieve the trays for your 'Prep for Life' freeze dryer. These trays are typically made of metal. For optimal results and ease of handling, place optional silicone pads (often branded 'Prep for Life') onto the trays. These pads prevent the squash from sticking and facilitate pouring the dried product into bags later. Additionally, position cooling racks on top of the silicone pads to create a double-deckered layer, maximizing the amount of squash that can be dried in one cycle, especially for thinner slices.

Goal: Set up trays for efficient loading into the freeze dryer.

Tools and materials
