DEHYDRATOR
JERKY
•Meat may also be seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, or
dration, use salt sparingly. However, season meat dried for jerky a little heavier than for regular cooking.
•To prevent dripping of marinade:
•Blot as much excess moisture from food as possible.
•Start Jerky at 160˚. Halfway through decrease temperature to 140˚.
•Let food trays sit away from dehydrator for 10 minutes, to let excess towels for easy cleanup.)
•Jerky generally takes 6 to 12 hours to dry. This is a general guideline. Drying times may vary. Dehydrate until strips are dry, but can be bent with out breaking. Jerky should be tough (slightly chewy), not brittle, with no evidence of moisture.
