Hi Dori and BC and Cyndi,

A few tips on slicing meats for jerky that make it easier and cut down on smell! Take the meat you are going to slice out of the refrigerator and put it into the freezer for an hour or two. The goal is to get it to firm up without being frozen. So by trial and error you can find out how long to place the liver or chicken breast or ? in the freezer for it to be firm and ALMOST frozen.

I have a freezer with a special thermostat that I set at 24 degrees F and it gives me meats that are perfect for slicing.

Congrats on your new dehydrator Dori!!!
