Title: Dehydrating and Ribs
Post by: GusRobin on December 28, 2017, 04:04:08 PM
Decided to play with my new dehydrator.

Used the jerky gun to make ground beef jerky strips. I made a couple of round ones to see how they come out.

Here is the ground beef jerky going into the dehydrator.

I made 2 lbs so I had some room to add some peppers.

While I am waiting for the jerky, I put two half racks of BB ribs and some beef ribs in the RecTec for dinner.

I'll be back later with the results.

Hmmm - rib jerky? I'll have to think about that.

Meanwhile, here is the jerky

The peppers (sure did shrink a lot.)

The ribs were great - if I do say so myself, both my beef and BBacks have been coming out fantastic lately.

I'll be making the peppers into powdered spices.
So far I am glad I got the dehydrator.

It all looks really good gus. Careful when you grind those peppers...The smallest amount of the dust in the air can be a sinus clearing experience. ;)

Careful"Mini-soda" boy...I will see that you get your long sought after transfer to International Falls....where there is shrinkage in even August ;) :D ...It was -37F there yesterday morning. YES NEGATIVE 37 degrees Fahrenheit ....Even the Moose are afraid to use the bathroom outdoors in that weather, for fear of "impromptu amputation"

after this latest zinger, I just can't see how Pappy can make his monthly membership dues without moving funds around from his household expenses........
