Jerky making


Recommended Posts

How long does everyone leave their jerky in the dehydrator? I realize thickness of meat and moisture content will affect time. I am finishing my current batch in the oven to ensure meat hit 180 degrees. Thanks everyone!

I dry at 160 till its the right bend. DOnt want it crunchy. :) Starting with 1/4 inch whole meat usually takes about 6 hours or so with my american harvestor snackmaster pro. Ground not as long. Its probably 15 to 20 years old and still works dandy.

Thanks for the replies, I will go for 150 degrees next time. I had the deer meat in the dehydrator for just under 6 hours. I think this batch turn out the best so far! This was also my last package of deer in the freezer. It never lasts long enough!
