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.
USDA researches have tested various methods for defrosting meat using 200 one inch thick beef steaks: Air-thawing in the refrigerator took 18 to 20 hours, while the room-temperature water bath thawed the steaks in about 20 minutes, and the hot-summer-day bath in 11 minutes. These water-bath times are so short that any bacterial growth would remain within safe limits.
