I've been cooking the chicken hearts, livers and gizzards before putting it in his pre-mix. Is it better to give it to them raw?

With Honest Kitchen Force, I only use it (Force) and Blue Buffalo Wilderness (dry) for the dog, with dehydrated chicken jerky I make myself. For the cat, I give him the meat raw. I intend to start introducing ground chicken wings (including bones) and thighs, but haven't yet.

The unit is not designed for use with uncooked food. If a recipe calls for uncooked meats, it should be fully cooked before combining with other ingredients and heating it in the unit.

Personally I would add it after - it really is no trouble to sprinkle on however much you need and then mix it in a little. I personally don't "cook" my dogs food - it is fed raw - I mix it in before feeding along with any other supplements I am adding. Cooking does destroy certain nutrients and I believe it's best not to take a chance. Hope this helps!

Yes. Each week I place raw chicken strips in the pet treat maker, turn it on, and within 6-7 hours, it's ready. I have never cooked mine before drying and my dogs have been eating the treats for several years.

No prep, just break up with hands & serve. My boyfriend adds a lil water when he feeds the dogs, but I don't. My picky yorkie, loves the chicken & beef.

Yes, they are raw. You don't need to cook them, they are great eaten raw. They are at their best eaten raw after overnight soaking in water.

I always cook my chicken first, I don't necessarily cook it thoroughly but I do seal in all of them juices, I don't think you have to but I do just for piece of mind, other than that I follow ,the instructions on the package and i khave never had a 'failure'

I have never tried to cook a whole chicken, so I can't answer to your question. Sorry!

Raw. Never tried them cooked. Have to feed them in one or two at a time. I'm sure they could be cooked-though harder to handle, and messier.

Good question, I used this for my salads, so I have just tried chicken, sorry.

I used a Clorox wipe the time I put raw chicken on it. Otherwise, I would use a little bit of Windex on a rag or paper towel. I would try to never again put food directly on it. I think Clorox might be too strong for the finish, not sure.

The beef you have to use a scissors or knife or some strong finger tips, but they are fantastic for training treats! Buy the chicken liver freeze dried and you will be pleased! I buy them too and I can break them with ease. Good luck.

First you brine the turkey over night. Then you use the rub. I wouldn't mix them.

I've found that to brown things it is a good idea to preheat the pan (with lid on) before putting the food in. I usually give 2 minutes on high before doing chicken breasts, fish, or hotdogs/sausages. Otherwise the food is overcooked before it browns.

Cooked meat yes.chicken. Maybe raw too but ugh, how to clean that. You can surely chop chick! Good luck.

Just make sure you eggs(if you have to rinse bird droppings off of them. Backyard chickens)are completely dry before you put them in the containers with lid on in fridge you can get some molding.

Raw is apparently not processed, but pure. Any mixes I understand are processed.
