can I use this chamber to freeze dry food?

This would work for freeze drying food if my understanding is of the process is correct, if your key goal is to pull water molecules out of your frozen intact peas, carrots, and potatoes etc then yes this would work over a period of time as with a mason jar technique but you would still need to make use of silica gel. The key is what you are using to pull the water molecules out of the material not so much the chamber, say a regular food saver vacuum sealer (can be used as a vacuum pump) wouldn't be as strong or efficient at achieving the end result as a CFM vacuum pump and honestly they cost about the same.

Yes, you can, BUT it defeats the essential benefit of keeping food fresh longer. they might also crack if over filled as liquids expand when they are frozen. The DEBBIE MEYER UltraLite GreenBoxes are Independent Laboratory tested and proven to keep fresh produce, baked goods and snacks fresh longer, without freezing. If you freeze in them you will experience freezer burn and the freshness properties will not work. In the freezer you need to create a vacuum to prevent freezer burn. You can use DEBBIE MEYER GeniusVac and DEBBIE MEYER GeniusVac Bags for the freezer. The beauty of these boxes is that you do NOT have to freeze most times because the food stays fresh for longer. Hope this helps.

According to the directions in the package, just a cool dry place. I think that you can also freeze it, but I have not tried it. I left mine in the original package in the cupboard for approximately two weeks and it was fine.

The instructions say that you can, but that was not why I made the purchase. I wanted space saving and easy access for containers that I put the fridge and freezer. If you do microwave do not go directly from freezer to microwave. It might crack.

I believe so...as long as it's in a dry freezer...not one that has build up with frost inside it.

Honestly I don't see why it wouldn't be able to. It turns ice into dust in a matter of seconds, it really has made my life a lot easier. I haven't used this blender for dry goods and don't have any experience doing that so I can't guarantee it. There is a recipe guide that it comes with for a "Crunchy Thai Peanut Spread" and the first step for making that is to take two cups roasted peanuts and pulse on "option 1" until chunky. So I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue.

If you freeze the soup first, then use the food saver, you could, but you can't do liquids directly. :(

No the nozzle is too small. As was stated in previous answers, not the best for frozen foods bust great to put snack bags in to maintain freshness. Works well with refrigerated items like cheese and dry items.

I don't see why you couldn't. Each Freezealarm would monitor the temperature in the area where placed.

I am only using them for dry storage, but don't know why you couldn't use it for cold items.

I don't see why you couldn't, but they are huge (you can put large chunks of animal in them). You would probably still want to heat seal for long term storage to avoid possible freezer burn.

Yes, you can. The recipe book suggests freezing regular yogurt and using it in the machine.

This works just fine with dry foods. The sealing bar is inside the chamber. I have a different model which only works well as a vacuum sealer. It won't seal a bag without first drawing the vacuum since the vacuum is what causes the sealing bar to be pulled tightly against it's backing material.

it is not a dehydrator --- it seals the air out to preserve your foods in the freezer for a LONG time!

Yes, works just fine. If I use for freezing, I do let it come to room temperature before putting in the oven, but freezing does work.

Yes you can. I have taken from freezer to oven with no problems. My new must have.

I have never used the Bormioli Jars to freeze food. They are certainly air tight and you would have to allow for expansion so you wouldn't be able to fill them full or they would burst or break at the pressure. Suppose they could be used for freezing as long as the jar has enough headroom. I would prefer a container of different material to avoid breakage!
