    Nesco seasonings

    I just bought a 24 pack of Nesco's flavors including Original, Hot & Spicy, Teriyaki, and Cracked Pepper & Garlic It also comes with 24 cure packs. I think this will be a good addition to my jerky arsenal. I also just bought 5 pounds of sirloin, so it's just waiting to be used. I'll probably...

    Nesco seasonings

    I've only made three batches so far all using the same cut and thickness of meat. First batch I marinated for 24 hours. That took 13 hours to dry at 160 degrees. I think it was that long because I used Yoshida's teriyaki sauce as the base and it's pretty thick. Unfortunately I dehydrated it for...

    Nesco seasonings

    I made some more jerky yesterday using the Nesco original seasoning. I used two packs of it and one of the cure. Added probably 1-1/2 cups of water, some liquid smoke and a bunch of crushed black pepper. Even diluting the cure as much as I did it's a bit salty. Still edible though and I like the...

    Nesco original jerky seasoning ?

    So basically it's for using with ground meat not sirloin? It seems no matter what you marinate your jerky with you can;'t go wrong if you like the flavors. What's the secret or need with salt? See my other post about my first jerky attempt. Thanks.

    Nesco seasonings

    How do you use the seasonings? I have two packs of original jerky and one of the jerky sure. I don't have any instructions though.

    Nesco original jerky seasoning ?

    So I have my Nesco dehydrator and it came with two packs of the original jerky seasoning, but it doesn't say how to use it. Can someone fill me in maybe? There's also a packet of jerky cure. I'm confused LOL

    Just joined the forum and have a new dehydrator

    I recently bought the Nesco FD-80 square dehydrator and I'm nervous about using it the first time. I could use some tips and tricks to using it. I mean I love beef jerky, but don't want to screw it up. My favorite is beef sweet and spicy. Obviously I want to try other flavors as I go along. I...
