So what? :-)

No, you won't chew ground meat jerky for 30 min. :-) But you definitely will chew it some time. :-) It's just not that chewy. But the more you dry it, the more hard and chewy it will be. It's very tasty, like a normal jerky. I'd say, the taste is even stronger. It's hard to explain, you need to...

You can dry almost everything. You can make your own tomato, onion or garlic powder - just dry it and ground. I use tomato powder in sauces, soups and juices. You can dry all kinds of fruits and berries, make yoghurt or fruit leather, make bread, cookies, chips, sauces, jerky, banana chips, all...

This is THE BEST dehydrator I've ever used. Believe me, you won't regret if you'd buy it. I'd also recommend to buy Excalibur Non-Stick Drying Sheet. 4pcs would be enough.

If you don't want to pay twice, get Excalibur. Because sooner or later you will buy Excalibur if you dry food often. :chef:

I dry everything at 95-105F except jerky. I dry jerky at 120F. Lower temperature means longer time for drying. But you'll have living food which will make you healthy and younger. ;-) I usually dry food overnight because since I dry at low temperature, it takes more time. But I'm sleeping...

Then you need to try it. :) I think, ground meat jerky is even better than regular jerky. The texture is different, the taste is better though.

What did you mean by "precooking"? I never cook ground meat. I just dry raw ground meat after mixing with seasoning and salt. That's it. Jerky is RAW food. If it's cooked/precooked, that's not jerky. I make jerky for years and never (pre)cooked meat.

I never dry my jerky at high temperature. Normally, it should be 145F, but I always (yes, always) dry my jerky at 120F. Never had any problems with my stomach. :) But if you're afraid of bacteria, dry your jerky at 145F first and then at 135F. My jerky is really raw. :)

Yes. It won't dry well and will spoil fast. Fat meat is not good for jerky. Believe me, I do jerky for years and lean meat is the best. 15-20% fat is OK, but not more. Get "Jerky bible" at amazon, there are a lot of really good ground beef jerky recipes there. I love ground meat jerky. It's my...

I'm a jerky freak and am making jerky almost every weekend. I've tried several different tools, but the best is "Weston Jerky Gun". I bought it on Amazon for about $40. It's the best jerky gun I've ever tried. Very easy to use and clean, durable, great quality. Highly recommended. For those who...

I used to have a lot but donated to our library. Now, I have about 15 only.

I only used dill.

I did blueberry-creamcheese muffins today. Soooooo good! :chef:

I would use potato instead of broccoli. I like broccoli, but i like potato backed with chicken more. It's crusty and tasty. I'd give some garlic also. :chef:

Meatballs are my favotire food too. I often make them. I liek Swedish Meatballs most of all. The recipe is easy too: 1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs 1 medium red onion, finely chopped 1/2 pound ground beef 1/2 pound ground pork 1 large egg salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons...
