If I have 2.5 pounds of meat and the recipe calls for 1 lb., is it important that I find the exact ratio for all ingredients, or can I just do a double batch of the marinade and say "good enough"? A lot of recipes I've used seem like they could cover more meat than the recipe calls for, especially if I'm using a zip lock back to marinate it.

  You are 100% right. A lot of my recipes have the bare minimum of ingredients however. So if it is only showing about 1/4 cup of liquid ingredients per pound, you might need to make the exact amount or round up and make a little extra. Using ziplock bag will definitely make the marinade go further than using a bowl or tupperware container.

I love your recipes that i have used and so does my family. I have taken 2 of your recipes and combined them into one with chicken that my best friends children adore and beg for now. It is Tequila Chili Lime Chicken Jerky...just a hint of spicy and citrus flavor to it. The recipe is this:
1 pound chicken strips 1/2 tsp minced onion
2 tbsp Tequila 1 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp lime juice 1/4 cup cold water
2 tbsp chili garlic sauce
1/2 tsp salt

Your RIG HAND is our favorite. Although we have tried MANY of your recipes.
My local friend who does his own has deferred to me as being beyond him in flavor and "jerkiness".
My dehydrator only goes to 392 degrees. With "peeled round" which is very thin, I have found it best to do 2 hours at 392 and finish with a third hour at 145.. PERFECT!!

Hi, I love all your jerky recipes. My question is years ago I stumbled across a jerky recipe in the Cabellas magazine, anyway I was wondering if you had it?

I have an expensive Nesco that does not have temperature settings. How long would you reccomend going with this recipe and your other recipes?

  Hey Dwayne! I would read the booklet that came with the dehydrator and see what the temperature is set at. If it's below 160F, I would consider pre-heating or post-heating the meat to make sure it reaches the lethality temperature for bacteria. I have found that most of my jerky is finished in 4-5 hours when using a dehydrator.

    Temperature is misunderstood. 160 will kill them nearly instantly. You can also kill them at lower temperature but need to heat it longer. Dehydrating at 145 to 150 will work fine since it’s in the dehydrator for several hours.

I am having a blast trying all the jerky recipes on here. My questions are 1) Can you add curing salt even on the recipes that don't list it as an ingredient, for max safety? And 2) The recipes that list something as a 'topping' (like Hot shot and Chipotle chili seasoning), would it be ok to just mix the items into the marinade (maybe increasing the amounts)? I use a vacuum marinator, and the solids in the marinade like black pepper end up sticking pretty well to the strips, I don't dry with paper towels, just dump everything into a colander and shake it dry

  Hey Mike! I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the website. You can definitely add curing salt to any recipe to help prevent potential bacteria in the jerky. You also can just add the extra to the marinade and use your vacuum marinator. If the strips hold the seasoning well, it's better to do it that way. When you sprinkle it on, it tends to brush off very easily when eaten. Sounds like you have everything under control over there!
