Just got one a Kohl's last week. I looked online to try to find you the one I got but could not seem to find it. Might be worth a call to the store to see if they have any in.

I had one of those...it was a waste of time/money. You can do a lot more jerky a lot faster in your oven!

My husband has been making jerky for years in a dehydrator, and it works great. He has six trays, so can do much more jerky than he used to in the oven, and not nearly as messy. His is a Nesco American Harvestor that he purchased from Amazon.

Claire_F, could you post his recipe? My husband has tried several and they all have been awful! We have been thinking of getting rid of our dehydrator b/c we don't know what to do with it!

This is the one he's been using. That's not the original site we got it from, but it's the same recipe. I can't find Cliff's site any more; it was around for a long time, so it might not be online any more.

We add the optional Tobasco and red pepper, because we like it spicy. However, it's just as good without it. We also use London Broil, which is frequently on sale for 1/2 price at many grocery stores.

We try to always have jerky in the house. I sometimes have it with breakfast, as a healthier alternative to bacon or sausage. It's especially good fresh off the dehydrator, when it's a bit on the crispy side. (It gets chewier as it cools.)

He makes it so often that a couple of years ago I gave him an electric meat slicer (a smaller version of the ones you see in the deli), which makes that part of the process a lot easier. The meat is also easier to slice if it's slightly frozen.
