Preparing meat, fish, poultry and game
It is recommended to pickle meat before dehydrating it to save its natural taste and
make the meat softer. Ensure that the meat is marinated for at least 3 hours please
note the longer your marinade the meat, the better the flavour will be.
It is necessary to add salt to pickle as it helps to remove the water from the meat
and allows it to dehydrate more efficiently. Always use clean meats. Meats with
higher fat content do not dry correctly.
Standard pickle:
1/2 glass of soybean sauce
1 clove of garlic, cut into small pieces
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. Ketchup
1 and 1/4 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried pepper
Note: Mix ingredients together.
Poultry
Before starting the drying process, poultry should be prepared by either boiling or
frying it.
Fish
It is recommended to boil or bake it on a stove before beginning the dehydrating
process (bake it for about 15 minutes on 200˚c or until the fish becomes easily
broken).
Meat and Game
Prepare the meat by cutting it into small pieces and placing it into the appliance for
about 2-8 hours or until all moisture has gone.
