It will be for general use, so I don't yet know the conditions. I dry a thin spread, after runnin it throug a blender, until it is completely hard. Then I run it back though the blender. It comes out powder. It reconstitutes almost instantly in boiling water and, although it sometimes tastes differently, it is very good.
I'm mostly worried about the hamburger. I dry it rock hard, and it will be individually vacuum packed.
