I followed the post by nepas
Wanna_Make_Slim_Jims? , but after three hours I checked on them and they were way over done. Really dry and almost crumbly/brittle.
The jerky I made earlier came out great so I don’t think the dehydrator is the issue.
Variables:
1. I did not put all the trays in the dehydrator, only the three I was using. When I did the jerky I had all of the trays in. Does that affect air flow/heat?
2. I did not use collagen casings because I had round nozzle for a jerky gun. But that shouldn’t matter. Should it?
What did I do wrong, how can I do this again with success next time.
Thanks for the great input about to come my way.
