Repetitive

At the time of this review, it was narrated by virtual voice… Which is not half bad, but there were obvious errors in narration when it came to temperature reading. The information that was presented was very good, but very repetitive. As a freeze-drying newbie, I was able to gain a good amount of information. If you are a more advanced, FD, then you will still gain some information, but will be bored with the repetition. I don’t understand his recipes and how they apply to freeze drying apart from using freeze drying ingredients. Are you supposed to freeze dry spring rolls after they are done? Also at the time of this review there was no PDF attachments which it sorely needed.
