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.
The average cost of 1lb of beef jerky is about $30. But you can buy 4 1lb flank steaks for that price and make your own. So by having your own food dehydrator you can cut your cost by 75%.You can dehydrate all sorts of other thinks like apples, bananas and other fruits, make trail mix which is a great way to get needed calories without all the added weight in a bug out bag. found quite a few methods ranging from using a storage bin to using a cardboard box and some tin foil to full out food dehydrator building plans that included a heater a fan and all the bells and whistles you would get in a store bought dehydrator.
