A better finished result

Plan the result before starting the cycle

Preparation, complete drying and prompt packaging are part of the result. Use the owner documentation and food-handling practices appropriate to the food.

Treat dietary requirements and freeze-drying suitability as separate questions.
Use recipes that have already been tested and tolerated by the intended person.
Record ingredients, preparation and portion size on every batch.
Seek qualified advice where a medical condition or therapeutic diet is involved.
