Cycle Time:

35 hours

Rehydration:

For each two meal gusseted bag, measure up 2 1/4 cups liquid. Use this liquid gradually to rehydrate.

This rehydrates beautifully but you need to give it at least 20 minutes.

A marinate function on a foodsaver or vacuum sealer is a great way to rehydrate freeze dried food.

* Large Tray = 8 Cups/tray   Medium = 6 Cups/Tray   Small = 4 Cups/Tray
