I got my FD at Christmas and I have processed avocado, raw southern scrambled eggs (type that comes in carton), carrots, celery sticks, pumpkin seeds, and lemon slices. Had to run everything twice but it turned out nice. Carrots were kind of rubbery but tasted normal. I will use them in stews etc. The pumpkin seeds were ones that I boiled, salted, and baked...they turned out very nice. I learned my lesson...put down parchment paper...lol... I spoke with HR concerning the best place to purchase vacuum pump oil and he said that Amazon had the best prices and you can purchase 4 gallons which will last about 1 year. Here is what I purchased for just under $80.00 and it has free shipping. Robinair 13204 Premium High Vacuum Pump Oil - 4- one gallon jugs When you are FDing cooked meat do you have to rinse the fat off of it before you process it? I worry about it going rancid. Trish
