LOL!<br />I could research on the internet but I haven't done so as of yet.

Just put your stuff on baking trays, and (depending on the size) they will dry in a day. The book looks really interesting, Leigh.

So much easier to carry! Jerky is one thing I've never tried to make, but I'm feeling inspired to drag out my dehydrator and try some new things. :)Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-56330787514742338742018-04-17T10:43:30.988-04:002018-04-17T10:43:30.988-04:00One of my favorites is to make turkey jerky.One of my favorites is to make turkey jerky.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-39347808892352094782018-04-17T10:43:11.886-04:002018-04-17T10:43:11.886-04:00We have an electric one and go in stints.
