FOOD SAFETY TIPS
•
For food safety, to help ensure any bacteria present are destroyed, choose
pretreatment or post treatment from below:
Pretreatment of Meat Prior to Dehydrating – Preheat a standard oven to 350°F
•
(177°C). Drain and discard marinade, if used, from meat. Pat dry with paper towels
and place meat in a single layer, leaving a space around each piece on baking
sheet. Bake 5 to 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (72°C).
Poultry must reach 165°F (74°C). NOTE: This method may reduce drying time and
may result in a drier texture.
Post Treatment of Meat After Dehydrating – Preheat a standard oven to 275°F
•
(135°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil. Place jerky in a single layer, leaving a
small space around each piece. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool completely on a
wire rack. Pat jerky dry with paper towels to remove any surface fats before storing.
