I love Jerky!!!!!! I would live off the stuff if it wasn't so high in sodium.

How much was the dehydrator? And what kind of beef do you use? Steak or what?

zen, the dehydrater cost 40 bucks.i use top round steak or sirloin.it's only high in sodium if you ues the cure.that is what most people do and it tastes salty as ****.i cut the meat in strips and then i marinate it in a-1, or black anguase steak sauce.put it in the dehydrater and let it go for about 6-8 hours, and it's done.low sodium and tastes killer man.

I think I'm gonna go get one. I love the stuff but it's expensive as **** in stores, and using A1 instead of the cure sounds like an awesome idea. I spend at least $50 a month on jerky right now, so the dehydrator would probably save me a lot of money, have you tried turkey?

just tried the sirloin and the other steak.i'm gonna be gettin into dried fruit and potpuri for the misses.
if you spend 50 a month, then you should buy one.the jerky i used to buy was 4.99 for 4 ounces of jerky.now, 40 for the machine, about 8 bucks for the meat, and 2-3 bucks for the sauce.for 10 bucks in meat and sauce i get about 5 ounces of jerky.that would cost 25 bucks in the store.so after about 3 batches of jerky, the machine pays for itself.
