Using dehydrator to dry MEAT (for jerky)
Penelope Baker wrote:
Does anyone have any recommendations/reviews for a dehydrator? I've been thinking about it for a while...to make my own dried tomatoes and jerky... Peace, Pen American Harvest or Nesco (they're the same company) "Snackmaster Pro" or "FD-50". The Excalabur dehydrators are even better, but IMHO they're not worth the price. If you see an Excalabur at a rummage sale for $20, grab it! Best regards, Bob |

Peace, Pen We have a Nesco GardenMaster and have used it for jerky, mushrooms, and fruit - works great. Adjustable temp which is nice. -- Peter Aitken Remove the crap from my email address before using. |

Using dehydrator to dry MEAT (for jerky)
"Ignoramus20054" wrote in message ... Is it safe to use a dehydrator to dry meat for jerky? Can meat be cured (to kill bacteria) with a salt solution only, no sugar? i Yes. Many dehydrators dry at 145+ degrees. That should be enough, used with a cure. Note that a 'cure' can be merely a bottled marindade. |

"Laura B." wrote in message ... Ignoramus20054 wrote: Is it safe to use a dehydrator to dry meat for jerky? Can meat be cured (to kill bacteria) with a salt solution only, no sugar? i Yes and Yes. Here's the recipe I use with the occasional variation... Have your butcher trim fat and slice a very lean roast such as eye of round. Tell them it's for jerky. For each pound of meat add... 1 cup soy sauce 1 tablespoon liquid smoke 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon white pepper 1/2 cup water (more or less depending on amount of meat) Add ingredients from above. Mix well and let sit in the fridge over night. I put mine in a zip lock bag and give it the occasional sqeeze to mix things up. It can be dried in the oven on cookie sheets but it's not as fast as a food dryer. I've played with adding a bit of splenda, onion powder and garlic powder. I like a mix of the three the best. Always store home made jerky in the fridge or freezer. Good luck, Laura B. I agree and disagree. Sometimes in the oven, jerky will get brittle. In a drier, you can control whether you want brittle or chewy. Homemade jerky in a dehydrator doees not need refridgeration. If kept free of exposure to moisture, it will keep covered(preferable in a sealed bag) for several months. |
