shelf life.
Thoroughly clean the meat and cut off the fat parts. Cut it into thin slices about 2 to 5 mm
thick.
You can season the finished slices with salt or marinate them. To give the meat a delicious
taste, we recommend leaving it marinated in the refrigerator overnight.
Chicken and fish must be cooked or fried before drying.
Check the meat drying process regularly. You can recognize properly dried meat by
breaking it in half.
Spices, herbs, flowers
Spices, herbs and flowers must be dried very gently. Their structure is very fragile and can
easily crumble after drying.
Use only petals or whole flowers for drying. The stems are not suitable for drying.
During drying, turn the petals and flowers regularly to prevent them from sticking to the
tray.
