Most Freeze Dryers Aren't Safe - Here's Why

Episode 38

Friday, July 17, 2026 • Duration 12:20

I never really questioned whether my freeze dryer was safe. Most people do not. You buy the machine, you plug it in, and you start freeze-drying. But when I learned that a company in Australia had spent years engineering freeze dryers for pharmaceutical operations and then looked at what the home market was selling, I had to ask some questions.That company was CryoDry. And those questions turned into one of the most eye-opening conversations I have had on the Frozen Assets podcast.Learn more about CryoDry and the CD8 Freeze Dryer here: https://fas.st/t/kvUfKhw7Contact Daniel or Tobias and let them know you watched this video: https://fas.st/t/kvUfKhw7Helpful links:Join The Freeze-Dried Network: https://www.skool.com/freeze-dried-networkStay connected:Follow on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn @ freezedriedbusinesshttps://freezedriedbusiness.comPurchase your ticket for the largest, most informative freeze-drying event.

Okre - Barcelona's First Freeze-Dried Food Brand

Episode 36

Monday, May 25, 2026 • Duration 22:30

In this episode of the Frozen Assets podcast, I sat down with Jorge, the co-founder of Okre, a freeze-dried food company based in Barcelona, Spain. Jorge found his way into this industry the same way a lot of people do, by searching YouTube for answers and eventually landing on the Freeze Dried Business channel.His background is in outdoor sports and bike packing, and that's actually what sparked the whole idea. After paying a lot for a disappointing freeze-dried meal on a multi-day trip, he came home curious and started digging. One freeze dryer turned into four, and what started as testing in a home kitchen has grown into a real facility with a full product line built around Spanish recipes and outdoor nutrition.He runs the business with his best friend, a trained chef who handles the kitchen and recipe development, while Jorge focuses on marketing and getting the product out into the world. It's a natural split that came together organically, and it's a good example of why finding the right partner early matters more than most people realize.Helpful links:Join The Freeze-Dried Network: https://www.skool.com/freeze-dried-networkStay connected:Follow on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn @ freezedriedbusinesshttps://freezedriedbusiness.comPurchase your ticket for the largest, most informative freeze-drying event.

What started as a hobby freeze-drying strawberries for hiking trips turned into one of Canada's most exciting new freeze-dried pet food companies. Anannya, founder of Farm Fetch Pets based in Toronto, joins the Frozen Assets podcast to share how a 12-hour hike with her dog Caillou sparked the idea for a gently cooked, freeze-dried pet food that is free of fillers, preservatives, and synthetic vitamins.
