beef jerky question?

Question

I want to get a food dehydrator to make beef jerky, anyone know what the best one to buy or suggest a good one to get?

Answer 1

I've used a few different brands over the years and would recommend a model with a fan. I have a Mr. Coffee Dehydrator with a fan, that I picked up at K-Mart for $30. The advantage of using a model with a fan is that it dehydrates quicker. Beef jerky on my unit takes about eight to ten hours, as opposed to a mdel without takes 20 to 24 hours. I hope this helps

Answer 2

Most Wal-Marts sell 16-ounce bags of World Kitchens beef jerky for around $8.50. It takes around 3 lbs. of beef to make 1 lb. of jerky, so the "economics" price point needs to be less than $3.00 per pound for beef + ingredients + energy cost + amortized dehydrator cost.
