Yes it will work fine for jerky. Same reason I bought mine. Lots of good recipes out there.

Jerky Seasoning was added to my box as a free sample which was nice. I have't tried it yet. Waiting for wintertime. I know its not a direct answer but it does show that the manufacturers intend the machine to be Jerky Worthy. +1 Outdoor Fun. He had the better answer but I didn't see it.

It has directions on making jerky, but I have not tried making it myself. I have made fruit roll ups and dried fruit and it worked wonderfully.

Yes it works good. I like to season cubed meat for certain sausages and leave sit overnight. I still mix the sausage with a mixer or by hand after grinding.

My husband and I have had no problems with this product. We've successfully used it to make jerky in our dehydrator.

I have done both at the same time with no flavor transfer at all. If you plan on making jerky just make sure you wash it well before you use it again.

I don't see why not. This particular kit is to make jerky from ground meat, however if your using a marinated steak/roast the dehydrator will still work find for that purpose

I haven't done that but I don't see why it wouldn't, I use it a lot to make turkey & beef jerky & it comes out of the tubes with ease.

I had jerky out of mine done the same day. It's pretty fast. It has a fan and an adjustable thermostat.

Yes, it works fine. I use it quite often on partially frozen roast beef to cube it for stews.

Did you ever buy the Hamilton Beach knife as I need to buy one for the same purpose...slightly frozen beef to cut for making jerky. I'm doing the Fast metabolism Diet by Hallie Pomroy and lost three pounds the first week and seems like all I do is eat. The jerky will be a easy snack and I made it with ground beef but will want to cut it very thin.

No. Get a Jerky Gun. I tried to use the Masterclass for cheese straws and it didn't work. I bought a Jerky Gun from Bass Pro Shops and it worked well.

Yes. You can get free recipes on the internet for rubs and sauces/marinades. This works great and holds a good steady temperature since you don't have to open the door to add wood chips while smoking. If you buy this, do NOT skip the break-in step, it seasons the unit for use and you only need do it once. We love ours and use it every week. Also, use a 55 gal contractor size trash bag to cover the unit when not in use they are cheaper than the factory-sold cover and last longer.

Think so but go on their website to check. This is terrible, rubbery jerky. I tossed it. I would not even give it to my dogs.

You would need to vacuum seal the jerky with these oxygen absorbers to make the self life last a while, and then you can put the vacumm sealed jerky into a Mylar bag with a couple oxygen absorbers and seal. That would increase the life of the jerky. Since jerky has fat it can go rancid the the self life will not be very long. maybe 6 months to a year if vacuum sealed and then put in Mylar bag.

i have only used it a few times since i bought it ,and just with beef but it does seem to reduce the thickness some after you put it through the tenderizer. it does work good for me with the beef but you'll have to experiment a little and see for your self, hope this answer helps you out.

I've used it also to marinate then do the jerky.I only do deer meat,it's less grease.

Yes, but.... , they only give you two shelves for meats, and one fine mesh screen/shelf for jerky. You would need to purchase an additional shelf if you want to cook all the meat you want at one time. I would have to look, but I believe there are racks for four shelves.

I have not tried it myself, but I don't see why not! Try a small amount with other food to see how it will work. This is a wonderful little dehydrator although I have only used it for meat as my dog loves, loves, loves meat! Hope you enjoy it! Sorry I couldn't be more helpful for what you asked.
