BUCKANDAQUARTER Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I am trying out my dehydrator for the first time, and I have 2 questions. First it is supposed to crack when bent in half, I bend it and it gets some small cracks, it is still pliable and doesn't break. I assume that's what they mean. Second how many of you bake it for the 10 minutes after, the directions word it like it is a disclaimer (i.e. Federal Gov't recommends blah, blah, blah).

WNYBuckHunter Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Thats exactly how it should be when its done. I dont bake it, thats silly. Take all of it and put it in a zip loc bag and seal it overnight. It will help to distribute what moisture is left in the meat, and it will be better.

Kot2B Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Just made a batch of jerky today, like WNY said that's perfect and no need to bake for 10 min. Just keep it in a ziplock in the fridge and you'll be okay. It's not like you are sustaining a food source for months on end. I don't know of anyone whose jerky lasts more than a week anyway lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
