 Noisy but works GREAT August 15, 2008
Jay J. Chappell (Elizabeth, CO)
The nesco is a perfect jerky making product. I like that you can put the meat in and walk away. A couple of negatives about the product. The trays are too large to fit in the dish washer (instructions state that you do it, just not on heated dry) and I have to put it in another room when we are making jerky b/c it is rather noisey (sounds like a hair-dryer partially muffled under a towel). The positives, well, it has already paid for itself with the amount of jerky we have made. The seasoning packs and can be re-ordered at any time (about $1.20/lb of jerky) which is, in my opinion, cheaper than getting all the ingredients measuring, mixing, etc... This product is definitely worth the purchase if you are any type of Jerky fan.
 Turkey Jerky June 28, 2008
Kathy Crawford (Henderson, KY USA)
I have recently had bariatric surgery and am always looking for "portable" foods that are tasty and high in protien. I found myself spending exorbitant amounts to order turkey jerky on line as it is not available locally, so I ordered this product and using extra lean ground turkey from the local Walmart, I can create my own that is fresh, tasty, and I actually enjoy the process of making it. The jerky gun is a nifty little tool and I do believe I get better with each batch.
cheap jerky! May 24, 2008

I bought this item to make jerky for my dogs. They had been getting the dog stuff from Walmart (China), as well as some human stuff. I'd say that, not only has my piece of mind increased exponentially because I know exactly what is going into their jerky (nothing, I don't use the curing packets it comes with, just a little salt), I am paying maybe 25% of what I was for their snack. This thing could not be easier to use, and clean up is a snap (although I'd recommend a brush to do the trays with, it gets all the dried on meat juice off). I am extremely happy with this product.
Can't be beaten at this price! April 28, 2008

I bought this on a whim, after reading a review about somebody making beef jerky. When I first unpacked it, I was a little bit miffed that it didn't have a temperature setting - but it was soon enough proven that wasn't really necessary!
For my trial run, I made a batch of beef jerky, slightly tweaking an Alton Brown recipe by using artificial sweetener instead of sugar. I used presliced ball tip roast (aka carne asada meat) from Costco; marinated 3 hours, dried about 6. It came out - PERFECTLY!
Next, I loaded up the trays with thinly sliced dry Italian salami and made "salami chips" - pretty good too!
Third batch, another of beef jerky - this time, after loading the trays, I sprinkled some with freshly-ground black pepper, some with red pepper flakes, and left the rest as they were. I also used some top round I had in the freezer, slicing it thinly with a good sharp knife.
Fourth batch, salmon jerky! I used the farmed boneless skinless filets from Costco and quickly learned that slicing it LENGTHWISE of the filets worked much better than CROSSWISE slices. I trimmed off the fattiest parts, made a sort of teriyaki marinade, marinated it for an hour and dried for about 9 hours. YUM.
Tomorrow, I will make more beef and salmon jerkies! My hubby is in jerky heaven. 3 pounds of meat is about right to fill the trays, and comes out to around a pound plus of jerky.
This little device works perfectly. You can buy additional trays if you like - for us (family of 2) what came with it is perfectly adequate!
One of these days I'm going to try the ground meat jerky and use the "jerky shooter" that was a bonus when I bought this!
It's easy to clean too - I find that just running a sinkful of sudsy water, letting it soak, then using a dish brush on it works faster and better than the dishwasher, which had a tendency to "warp" the trays out of shape slightly.
I want to try some veggie chips too - zucchini maybe, or Butternut squash - so many ideas, so little time! ;-)
Dehydrator and jerky kit April 5, 2008
Letta Meinen (Salado, Texas USA)
My old dehydrator burned out and I needed another one so search Amazon.com and found this great one that included a jerky kit. I have made jerky the old fashion way in the oven so I was interested in getting a jerky kit with this dehydrator.
I have been making all kinds of dried fruits and the large tart apples are my favorite. The Jerky kit is wonderful using ground beef and turkey. The kit comes with boxes of seasonings and salts. I found extra boxes at WalMart so have been making lots of jerkey. These dried fruits and jerky are just great to take along while playing golf. Helps to keep the energy level up to complete a good round.
This was a great price and I have been using it most every week to keep up my supply of dried fruits and jerky.
