Do you jerk your meat? If so, how and how often?

[ArmasTermin]

Well, I've got to admit that I've never jerked my own meat. In fact, to be honest, I've never even enjoyed other people jerking meat for me. My meat is unjerked. Wherever your opinion of me is, it can start declining now.

I dunno... the fact that I've never heard of it before makes me wary.

I would agree, besides chicken must be cooked to 165 to be eaten safely and I would say that cooking it at 170 is too close for my comfort.

Ohh chicken jerky recipe: (not sure about their recommended temp for baking though.... http://www.ehow.com/how_2291432_make-chicken-jerky.html

Ha, the fun part about being in Georgia is that we don't have to go buy beef for our jerky; we just wander into the woods, shoot us a deer,(during deer season, of course) bring it back, cut the meat off, and make our own jerky. And let me tell you, deer jerky is the best, in my opinion.

As for how its prepared, we always marinate the jerky before setting it out onto the dehydrator, and checking on it every now and then until its dried to our liking. I like mine tough, yet still chewy enough to eat.

Yeah same here and just about any other state really. Yesterday I was on some back roads and I saw a sign that said they were selling elk for $300. I didn't stop in to see how much meat that would be but I assume it's a lot of meat.

You don't see signs like that in Georgia, though, due to the fact that selling deer meat is illegal here. Apparently, deer meat is in so high demand down here the officials have to forbid the selling of it to prevent poaching.

I guess Deer and Elk are in reasonable demand here in Oregon.

Because if you ban death, maybe murders will stop happening.

It sure cuts the number of murders down. Think how low the population would be if murder was legal.

I've always thought about dabbling into jerking my meat. But there is a family owned butchershop literally four miles down the road and i graduated with one of the family so i usually just get my jerky there. It kicks the a** out of anything i have ever bought anywhere. They cut it in to nice thin strips and its dry jerky so when you eat it you really got to yank and rip it when you take a bite. But it just moistens up so good when your knawing on it. Crap, this is gonna go make me buy some -.-

In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare,
terror, murder and bloodshed but they produced Michelangelo,
da Vinci and the Renaissance.

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've been on Gaia!

But I prefer to go to a friend's house and there we jerk both of our meats at the same time. I don't like how slippery and wet it can get though, it makes it hard to hold onto, then it falls and slaps onto the floor and it's just a mess.

In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy
and peace and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock.

I forgot to get pics. Sorry, Freak. Anyway I just jerked my chicken. After roughly 4 hours in the oven it was dry. I didn't trust it because it didn't get hot enough to cook. It came out clear too. I decided to microwave the batch for a minute to make sure. It turned yellow. Now it's back on the wire racks to cool.

It's a little heavy on the garlic and the salt.
