Customer Review: Can't be beaten at this price!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this on a whim, after reading a review about somebody making beef jerky. When I first unpacked it, I was a little bit miffed that it didn't have a temperature setting - but it was soon enough proven that wasn't really necessary!
For my trial run, I made a batch of beef jerky, slightly tweaking an Alton Brown recipe by using artificial sweetener instead of sugar. I used presliced ball tip roast (aka carne asada meat) from Costco; marinated 3 hours, dried about 6. It came out - PERFECTLY!
Next, I loaded up the trays with thinly sliced dry Italian salami and made "salami chips" - pretty good too!
Third batch, another of beef jerky - this time, after loading the trays, I sprinkled some with freshly-ground black pepper, some with red pepper flakes, and left the rest as they were. I also used some top round I had in the freezer, slicing it thinly with a good sharp knife.
Fourth batch, salmon jerky! I used the farmed boneless skinless filets from Costco and quickly learned that slicing it LENGTHWISE of the filets worked much better than CROSSWISE slices. I trimmed off the fattiest parts, made a sort of teriyaki marinade, marinated it for an hour and dried for about 9 hours. YUM.
Tomorrow, I will make more beef and salmon jerkies! My hubby is in jerky heaven. 3 pounds of meat is about right to fill the trays, and comes out to around a pound plus of jerky.
This little device works perfectly. You can buy additional trays if you like - for us (family of 2) what came with it is perfectly adequate!
One of these days I'm going to try the ground meat jerky and use the "jerky shooter" that was a bonus when I bought this!
It's easy to clean too - I find that just running a sinkful of sudsy water, letting it soak, then using a dish brush on it works faster and better than the dishwasher, which had a tendency to "warp" the trays out of shape slightly.
I want to try some veggie chips too - zucchini maybe, or Butternut squash - so many ideas, so little time! ;-)
