  • I feel DJ or maybe TW will be the ones here... but has anyone made jerky or biltong? I'd quite like to give it a go. I'd prefer to invest in something shiny rather than DIY it with a UV lamp. But anyone with any experience/pointers/horror stories?

  • It's very easy. The DIY method works but if you want to invest then a dehydrator works very well too. The trick is not to dry it too fast in the dehydrator so to use it on its lowest setting.

  • Not me. I tried to make pancetta once, and ended up dropping my guts for a week.

  • Air fryers do dehydration as well; there are lots of Youtube vids of people drying meat in them but I haven't tried it in mine

  • Have made biltong and droewors

    I was given a dehydrator and it is simple. One issue is many dehydrators run at too high a temperature, it’s really airflow that is most important, and ideally temp around 25C iirc
