best bet is to get a food dehydrator, find a marinade you like and make your own jerky. I used to make shitloads of the stuff and it was as good as, if not better than the stuff you get in the bags at the store.

you can also get something that looks like a caulking gun and the spices to mix into ground beef to make your own slim jim type things too.

edit: here it is for you.

Mine takes up less than 3 sq ft. Probably less than 2. Here's a link:

I bought the maximum number of trays I could along with the tray inserts for sauces and fruit leathers and drying herbs, when not in use they all sit inside the dehydrator which sits in the bottom of my pantry or on top of the fridge if it's running. I've had it since 2013 and while I don't see it saving space on food much it's been a worthwhile investment. I think it would be just fine in that amount of space, I pulled it off in mine with 2 people, 3 cats, too much furniture and 150 sq feet of that being a studio space. Also! They are super light so they can stack pretty much anywhere. I can carry the whole thing stacked up with all the trays with one hand when it's ready to store it.

Eh, not that much. The model I got was $65, now it's cheaper, this was back in 2013 though so there may be a better Nesco model out there.

Up until two years ago I only used it for ground beef jerky and did that maybe once or twice a year. But since I upped my pepper production from last year, I use it now to dehydrate those as well so now I have three things to use it for. Sliced jerky, ground beef jerky and peppers.

If you eat a lot of fruits, you could dehydrate those too. The plus side, if you have the storage space for it in a pantry, it will last practically forever. Eventually paying for itself.

No they're real, the kit this is from makes jerky just like that, I've done it

I bought this one from Amazon a couple years back and it's been pretty great: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0002WSQHU?cache=9c3e2cbcadb4b70ad3694c0f69e46338&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&qid=1406655765&sr=8-4#ref=mp_s_a_1_4

But I think it must have been on sale at the time because I don't remember spending more than $35 on it. There are equivalents without all the extra bells and whistles that come in at that price point.

My only complaint is that the trays aren't dishwasher safe, and hand washing something so large is kind of a pain.

u/Kanilas · 2 pointsr/pics

Here you go.

Basically, avoiding treats from China would be your best bet, if all else fails. We actually went ahead and bought a food dehydrator off Amazon, and use that to make snacks. In the long run, it's actually a lot cheaper this way, and you know exactly what they're getting. It's easy to put some chicken, or beef, or london broil on there (Look for sales at the grocery store) and just let it run for a day.

Also, it makes beef jerky. Your very own jerky factory.

u/Goodnight_Gromit · 2 pointsr/keto

I have a Nesco dehydrator ($70)

It's super easy to use and clean. I make kale chips in it all the times and love having it.

u/bendy-trip · 2 pointsr/shrooms

If you’re going to be drying mushrooms regularly then I’d suggest purchasing a food dehydrator.

u/krystlexplorer · 2 pointsr/keto

Invest in a Kitchen scale and a food dehydrator to portion out your food and make beef jerky and all kinds of veggie chips!

Food dehydrators that would fit your budget:

I've had this one for a couple years now with no problems at all. Really easy to use and clean.

We're on a weightloss kick though, it's going slowly but it is by god working. Found this last week, that's up next.

Will try yours after that, which should be right after we finish off that batch which will be, oh, about Friday. We realllllyyyy love jerky around here, hence the dehydrator. That thing cost us 60 bucks and has more than paid for itself. My only complaint is that it's a bitch to clean, but since my single attempt at making jerky in the oven nearly burned down the house, I can put up with that. Any hydrator's gonna be a bitch to clean, and this one is quiet.

u/thatnaplife · 1 pointr/CampingGear

I've had this one from Nesco (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002WSQHU/ref=pe_309540_26725410_item) for going on 6 years now, and it's working great. I've probably made 30+ batches of jerky, kale chips, and various other backpacking foods over the year and it's still chugging along. Nesco makes a ton of different dehydrators, and I've heard they're a decent brand.

I never used the jerky gun that came with the dehydrator though - I've always just used sliced london broil.

u/chaoticbear · 1 pointr/Bowling

Well, from what I've found, you *can* use the polish without a spinner, but it is better to do it on a spinner. This is Storm's product designed for people to use at home, I don't think as many people are going to be picking up quarts of Step Two. That's why I would (personally and hypothetically) do it myself until the ball needs a resurface.

If you're willing to drop the money on a spinner, absolutely do that. They're not difficult to use, and as long as you're not too aggressive with super-coarse Abralon, you aren't going to irreparably damage anything. Given that my PSO charges something like $30 for a full resurface, it was a no-brainer.

People have also built their own ball ovens for much less than the $200. If you look at the Nuball and Vertex rejuvenators, you will see it looks suspiciously like the Nesco FD-61. I stuck one on top of a rubbermaid tote so I can bake two at once, if you're curious I can dredge up the post. I've seen hair dryer boxes as well, but don't know if you need any modifications to keep it at safe temperatures.

u/livingplasma · 1 pointr/3Dprinting

I use this Nesco FD-61 that a co-worker gifted me, trays cut out I can fit two of most rolls. My temp and humidty indicator with the sensor located at the bottom shows it being pretty close to the temperature on the dial. This Rosewill unit is basically the same base unit as the $100 PrintDry without the customized trays.

u/Elusive2000 · 1 pointr/Paleo

Can you recommend a dehydrator? I've been looking at the Nesco Snackmaster, but I'm wondering what other people like.

Also, I like the meat brick idea. I'm stealing it.

u/Karbear_debonair · 1 pointr/loseit

It's really up to you. =)

I think that this one is the one my fiance bought. (Not positive because it's in another state, lol.) It works really well for us. Came with 5 trays, the fruit screens (smaller mesh so things don't fall through,) a jerky gun, recipe guide, and maybe some jerky seasoning.

It's really quiet, comparable to a window a/c. The jerky gun worked great for us, we've made some really yummy jerky. And so far the recommended timeset on it seems fairly accurate. The one I linked (with the extras) is listed for $65 right now, but there's one that comes with less that is listed for $49 on amazon. I'm not sure those are the lowest price you can get or anything, but it seems fairly reasonable to me.

u/MonsieurJongleur · 1 pointr/loseit

Well, I actually bought this one-- used, amazon warehouse deals because it comes with fruit leather trays which I use a lot of. The higher the wattage the faster things dry. The Snackmaster is their entry-level version.

I haven't tried drying high water-content stuff like stone fruit or grapes because I'm a little afraid of spoilage if they don't dry evenly and I don't want to spare the freezer space. But for those I puree them and make fruit leather instead. Hope this helps.
