Oven Dried Jerky

[liv4archery]

I noticed in many of the past threads on jerky that most of you use dehydrators. Anybody out there use an oven and if so, I would like some instructions as far as temperature and time etc....

I just put my oven at the lowest setting and leave the door open, not all the way, but where it stops when it's mostly closed. It depends on how thick it is as to how long it takes, and how dry you like it. I start checking it after two or three hours, and when it gets closer to done, just keep an eye on it. You'll have to experiment a bit, but it works great for me!

if you use the oven make sure you have the meat sliced thinly. i used the oven and i recently got a dehydrator, i prefer the dehydrator. oven jerky often tastes like steak unless you get it sliced thin. i always slice mine when it's partially frozen that way it's easier to handle.
