Customer Review: A great start to making jerky
Summary: 5 Stars
Nesco/American Harvest produces some of the finest dehydrators around, that's a given. I've owned several different brands and these folks know what they're doing when it comes to drying foods. It's a natural outgrowth then that this company could do well providing the tools and mixes that people could use with their dehydrators. With this particular set, they have done exactly that. A good sampling of their various flavorings for jerky and a great little jerky shooter that makes the preparation easy. Some things to keep in mind, even though I score this product 5 stars. First, the meat canister on this product is fairly small. If you are going to make a big batch of jerky, you will be loading it a lot! I make 3-5 pounds of finished jerky at a time and loading this shooter repeatedly does get a little tiresome. Second, the mixes are simple to use but do contain MSG, an ingredient lots of people are watching closely these days. Third, while this item has a fairly small capacity of meat, it is a solidly made item. I have purchased the upgraded size jerky shooter from Nesco and key parts are made of plastic, unlike this one that has a metal drive system. That makes this item better than the one you can upgrade to. Lastly, a consumer awareness tip. I really got into making jerky (primarily bison) so have placed several orders directly with Nesco. There have been a couple of errors, but the company has always stepped forward to make things right. So, perfection? No. Willingness to stand up and do the right thing? Absolutely.
This is a great set to acquire to get you started with jerky preparations. I continue to use it regularly almost 2 years later without a hitch. If their large jerky shooter were made this well, I'd be a very happy jerk.
Description of Metalware Nesco Beef Jerky Factory Plus
Make jerky at home for a fraction of the cost of store bought jerky. Simple and easy to use. Easy clean-up, dishwasher safe. Includes 3 attachments: a flat tip for making jerky strips and 2 round tips for making large and small jerky sticks. Comes with 10 jerky spice packs, enough to make 5 pounds of jerky. 6 original, 2 cajun and 2 pepperoniNesco, a company most known for the manufacture of food dehydrators, has created a jerky kit designed to ease the process of making homemade jerky. To operate, fill the 5-1/2-inch gun barrel with ground beef, turkey, or pork and squeeze the levered handle to force the contents through one of three accompanying attachments. The attachments offer three different style options: two circular sticks with 1/3- and 1/2-inch diameters and a traditional1-inch strip. Seasoning the meat should happen prior to loading the gun and to make this easy, the kit includes 10 seasoning and 10 cure packets. One seasoning packet combined with one cure packet sufficiently prepares 1 pound of meat and results in a flavorful snack with the requisite saltiness. For spicier jerky, add 1/4 teaspoon or more of cayenne pepper. Drying can take place in a food dehydrator or any conventional oven. Gun and attachments are dishwasher-safe and additional seasoning packets are available for purchase. -- Amy Arnold
