tried the biltong and too far gone in 1.5 days let alone the 3 day recommendation

i made some chicken jerky last week, soaked it in the remainder of a bottle of red wine, a splash of balsamic vinegar, garlic and herbs de provence. i let it soak for 24 hours and it only took about 6 hours to dehydrate.. it lasted all of 3 hours!

since you have to used cooked chicken for jerky i figured reusing the remaining marinade would be fine so i put a chunk of lean mince in and let it soak for about 4 hours. i made burger shapes and put them in the dehydrator. about 3 hours later i took them out, tasted them and decided to skip the rest of the drying process as they were just too darn wonderful to not eat there and then mmmmm

i think i'll make some of these 'burgers' for our camping trip this summer

Really inspired by this thread and after consultation with the O "not something else for the kitchen" H yesterday ordered the Tchibo thingy (thanks for the discount tip

) and also that recommended book.

How's this - amazon received my order at 4.20pm yesterday, and the book was delivered at 7.20 this morning!!! Unbelievable.

Now, just to wait for the dehydrator and hope they're more efficient than Bugs experienced...

happy to have been of service HG

i'm sure you'll enjoy having it. i just put most of my 'sun' dried tomatoes in the remaining oil from the storebought variety. i topped it up with more olive oil and they just look so lovely staring back at me

last night i had a ham & cheese sandwich on multi seeded bread and used some of the dried tomato and dried red onion that i'd done... you could definately sell this sandwich at Pret a Manger

please feel free ask me if you have any questions. i'm no pro but i'm definately enthusiastic

cheers muchly for that - so many uses and hopefully I'll get cracking when it arrives. OH is excited at the thought of some decent trail mix and I'm looking forward to some experimentation :bounce:

The great thing about the internet is that it is a virtually unlimited source of information. But I find it a bit cumbersome trying to search for hints and recipes at a later date, especially when there's a lot of "chat" in-between. If I take this particular thread as an example, would it not be possible to condense the various contributions - like those from ButteryHOLsomeness - in a separate, permanent file for easier access, such as in the "Latest Articles" selection?

Hi Colin, that's exactly what this site is for

- particularly, I agree the problem of "especially when there's a lot of "chat" in-between".

We've got a lot of threads like this, that have got useful information on, and that the originator or the main contributors could very usefully condense, just as you say. Having said that there's a lot of room for an interested onlooker to do it, too - providing the posters are happy to be quoted or have their information used (I'd prefer the latter, with the end of the article crediting the people who provided information) so if you'd like to join in that would be welcome as well.

Buttery or Deedee do either of you feel up to doing us an article based on your experiences, and asking posters in this and other threads on the subject for permission to quote them and use their tips? I've put up a thread to discuss how to go about it (so we can leave this one for dehydrating tips) here: https://forum.downsizer.net/viewtopic.php?p=57807
