show more I am looking to make beef jerky at home but am a bit confused on how long to keep it in the dehydrator. My dehydrator works at about 140 degrees. I read somewhere to keep it in for 20-24 hours but when i tried that it was way too overdried. How can you tell when it is done? even after that much time it seemed somewhat moist when i removed it. Obviously after it was out for a bit it had become pretty brittle.
Jerky has been around since ancient times, when humans made it from animal meat that would've been too much to eat all at once. A pound (450 grams) of animal meat weighs about four ounces (113 grams) after being made into jerky. To this day, it's a handy food for backpackers and others on the go, because it can be stored safely without refrigeration for up to about 12 months.
