    Safe jerky

    What is the safest way of making jerky with a dehydrator. Knowing that my dehydrator doesn't reach safe temps I always seem to over dehydrate it and it gets brittle. Should I be using a curing salt as I do on my deer sausage. Please feel free to share any info. Thank you in advance

    Curing salt question

    The one ounce sure cure is normally all I would use for 25 lbs and I know that part is right. My concern arose when I realized that the sugar cure had nitrate and nitrite so then I wondered if I had way too much overall cure and if it were even safe to eat.
