Just a note to say that drying jerky on parchment paper, laid onto a cookie sheet, works very well. The paper wrinkles and the meat curls, so that air circulates and dries the meat uniformly. Clean-up is a breeze! Much better results than using a rack of any kind. I'm finally seeing jerky as a quick and easy prep.

I follow standard instructions otherwise. (I am just thin-slicing very lean red meat and immediately putting it out on the paper, which is laid onto cookie sheets. No seasonings. I dry it in an oven at the lowest possible heat, about 110-120F, till crispy, with the door propped open.)

I want to try this! What a great portable snack! You could keep it in your car or purse for emergencies. Laugh

How long does it take for your jerky to dry?
