Preparation of Meats, Fish and Chicken

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Beef or fish do not need to be cooked. It is recommended that turkey or
chicken be cooked prior to dehydrating.

1. Trim excess fat from meat and slice. Cut meat across the grain for more

tender jerky. Slice meat between 3 mm – 6 mm (1/8

x 1/4

) thick.

If meat is slightly thicker, increase the marinating time. It is important
that the marinade permeate the meat thoroughly.

NOTE:

The thinner the cut of meat the shorter the drying time.
