    Cyndi's BBQ Sauce & Dry Rub Recipes

    Well, the BBQ Sauce was good enough to to win second or third & prizes from a Readers Digest contest online back in 1997, I think it was. I love the sauce. The Rub I use I borrowed & adjusted from many others I'd read & tried. All of my recipes are original b/c I can't stick to someone else's...

    Marinating Times

    Thanks! I did use The Cure (#1) and let it sit for an hour. That was for my test batch, after only 24 hrs of marinating, about a dozen strips. After it was ready I tried it & it needed more salt. So, on to the remainder of the 5 lbs of Jerky today. These I didn't air dry first. I put them on a...

    Marinating Times

    I was wondering about this as well. That is a huge chunk of time! I was just marinating for 24 hrs, then going to paper-towel, pat dry & put in the Dehydrator. I did use #1 Cure (for the first time, these batches) & I'm still in the marinating stage. Do I need to let them sit out an hour for...

    I really need to proof-read before I hit Submit, but I think you get the main idea.

    Nesco American Harvest Dehydrator - Part (Tray unknown)

    This is the same Dehydrator I have had & used for years. I love it. The reply about that plastic, smoother tray was correct. I have made fruit roll-ups once & used that thing, but I'm more into making beef jerky, so I rarely use it. Did you find that you had to rearrange your shelves & possibly...

    How to tell if meat is cured before dehydrating

    This is more like the quantity I use to marinate my beef before dehydrating for Jerky. But after reading other comments/advice I think my problem in the past could be that I never blotted/patted off the extra marinade prior to putting the meat in the Dehydrator. It was always delicious & nobody...

    Finally Got Here! I'm Cyndi

    I'm not really a Tech-Idiot, but I am impatient. So, it took me a few tries to get this far. I live about 20 miles outside of Nashville, TN. I've been making Beef Jerky for at least twenty yrs, but I use a Dehydrator rather than a Smoker. I've owned & used a Smoker a lot, just not for my Jerky...

    How to tell if meat is cured before dehydrating

    This was helpful! I've just started reading on this forum but have been making beef jerky for years in my Dehydrator. I only just learned of the Cure #1 and received it today. So, I've got my recipes & 5 lbs of beef plus all the other marinade ingredients. Never having used a Cure before (&...
