Im considering buying a food dehydrator to make beef jerky, does it come out as good or better than the store?

you can get excellent results with a home dehydrator. my husband makes it quite often to the delight of friends and family. you can buy jerky-making kits, but often they are too salty. he constantly makes up his own flavors using just what we have in the house. he often makes asian-flavored jerky with soy sauce, 5-spice powder, and ginger, for example, or Caribbean jerk jerky. hubby will often do a few batches at once, and have "blind" taste tests w/friends, which is fun for everyone.

cuts of meat do matter. you can splurge and buy great steaks and make wonderful jerky, but that's kind of a waste. but if you buy the cheapest steaks out there, your jerky will reflect the steak's less-than-perfect nature (too stringy, too tough, not flavorful enough, etc). we buy when better cuts are on sale, and freeze it until he's ready to make it.

for those who said it's too dry/hard, you've let it dry too long. it's a taste-and-see process, where you sample several times throughout the drying time to get it the right consistency.

the dehydrator we have is one that was mentioned by someone else: round, stackable trays. we also dry garden produce, so it's not like this thing is only used for jerky. it's a more economical way to make those expensive dried tomatoes that are so yummy!

I use a NESCO American fruit dehydrator to storm jerky. The lowest temperature stage set is 95 F which should subdue AGE establishment over almost any kidney of cooking. For thin pieces of muscle chow (0.25 - 0.50 inches), I dry it for about 16 hours (which does not thoroughly dehydrate it and thus carries a youthful endanger, but I like it that way). I use less than half the briny of the orthodox jerky formula (which again carries a particle more jeopardize, but I don't like all the hoard that is in conventional commercial jerky). Some produce seasonings.

I was introduced to unusual homemade jerky about twelve years ago. My room-mate's partner inured to to settle it and she brought it in for me. In the end I was first-class an budget-priced skimpy circumnavigate dehydrator that I could steer a course for jerky and fruit leather with. I made my own jerky for a while. The tour trays were a aching in the sucker - things didn't always cook the same and the trays seemed like an unskilful use of blank. After a while the compliant spokes on the trays started to discipline and the substance would quarrel through. Conclusively the manageable on the ...
