We've posted quite a few videos in the past, on freeze drying various items. The most common question get asked is "Ok that looks great, but how much it cost in electricity to run a cycle?" Today, we'll do an experiment while freeze drying some eggs, and see just how much it costs to run a cycle. Here in Michigan, electricity costs on average about 19 cents per kWh (per 1000 watts used). If you want to lookup what it's like where you live, see this site: https://www.bls.gov/regions/midwest/d...
Note: The eggs were not prefrozen prior to starting the cycle. We also lost an unknown amount of time due to not closing the door properly when we started the cycle. So our experiment is a "worst case" scenario for sure. For links to meters the can be used to measure the amount of electricity something uses, see this link: https://amzn.to/3Kndofj
