Good to know - thanks! I've been frustrated with Homelands quality recently and just getting into Jerky myself.
I got this Nesco dehydrator and my first batch was marginal at best. not the dehydrator's fault tho....the meat had too much fat and gristle and the marinade was a bit too spicy with too much woristichere sauce. Gotta a couple of more recipes to try tho.
I have the square Nesco dehydrator, and have been using it for about 7 years.I got it on a whim in Costco, it was cheap, and I needed it urgently, since my garden overproduced that year. I got it, thinking it will patch me up for the season, and until I save up for the big boy, Excalibur.
Fast forward to today, I never got an Excalibur. The Nesco outperformed every expectation I had. I grow vegetables and greens year round and I purchase stuff in bulk at farmer's markets. So it gets used ,if not daily, then weekly for sure, year round.
I have also dehydrated jerky in it, dog treats, full meals for camping and the regular fare, such as fruits, veggies, greens, etc.
I have this one (Nesco FD-80A Square Shaped Dehydrator) for $75 and I like it. I swear I paid less for it several years ago though, I thought it was like 55 or so when I bought it.
Nesco American Harvest FTW. But get the square version not the round one; you'll thank me later!
This one?
