I cannot say enough good things about my american harvest... love it!
Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!
Cat's are food... not friends!
If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.
Understood. Native Americans made jerky by cutting meat into thin strips and hanging it on racks , usually with smoky fires around to keep away flies. Im minded of an old episode of GOOD EATS on the (defunct?) Food Network
where a box fan, bungee cords , furnace filters and paper towels were used to dry jerky. Done outdoors in the vegas climes, and jerky could be had in 12 hours or so.
But the 'how' isn't the question, it's a matter of 'what'. I'd like to know what fruits or vegetables dehydrate with the least loss of vitamins and minerals.
Alton is coming back with new episodes of Good Eats I think sometime Aug/Sept.
Alton?
Be safe.............the night is your friend.
Alton Brown... host of GOOD EATS and if memory serves, also one of the judges for IRON CHEF AMERICA.
I DID dig up the episode about jerky via the good offices of youtube.
The box fan dehydrator lashup is an under $30 rig and thus most appealing now... but aside from salt, I disagree with spicing the hell out of jerky. And while the rationale for using flank steak for jerky was sound, I'm minded to be using what cuts are leanest both in fat and $.
But that is just me, trying to play catchup on a shoestring, with that scythe-carrying old fart giggling his ass off over in the corner.

The tallest oak in the forest was once just a nut who held its ground.

Anyone done strawberries? My wife has to have her strawberry plot but it is too small to get enough to can or make into jelly/jam at any one time. I am thinking that those days when there are only about 8 or 10 ready to pick, I could just slice 'em up and toss onto a try of the dehydrator.
