Jerky Cooking time

I place on baking wax paper.. don't spread close to the edges.. when cooked and pliable place jelly or preserves lightly and roll.. leave in wax paper and secure with foil paper overnight.. slice into pinwheels..serve. you can leave the jelly off also.. it is just as nice...My sons Love it. Hope this helps. Blessings
Answer: Yes, but you need to line the trays. I used parchment since I had a box of pre-cut sheets. Because of the shortage of canning jars this summer I ended up drying most of my applesauce. Easy and delicious.
Answer: Yes!
Q:
Recommended insert for making powdered milk?!
Answer: I'm not sure how successful milk or broth would be in this machine. The trays are flat metal with no raised edges like the round trays that have the motor/fan at the bottom. You can certainly buy silicone mats to put on the shelves, but even with the 10 trays I dont think it would hold enough milk that making your own powdered would be worth while. I'd stick with the round stacking dehydrators for turning liquid to powder, those have trays intended for that.

Answer: Thank you so much for your attention. This food dehydrator can only work for 110V. We hope this can help you

Answer: Yes
Q:
Is this machine energy efficient? Will my electricity go up alot?
Answer: I have not noticed an increase in electricity usage. Am saving overall by drying instead of canning.
Q:
I need to run it constantly for 70 days. Can I run it without the timer?

Product reviews of 10 Layers Commercial Stainless Steel Food Dehydrator for Food and Jerky Fruit Dehydrator, Professional Jerky Maker Dryer with Adjustable Time and Temperature Control and 67 Recipes
Daniel Morgan : This is awesome!!!!
Nice large dehydrator perfect for all our needs. Wish it had a •F instead of Celsius but hey
Stacey : Stopped working 3 months after use
The product worked well until it didn’t. It stopped releasing warm air in November which was only 3 months after I started using it. Not worth the money I spent on it. I’m contacting them to see if they’ll send me a new one, and if they do, I’ll update the review.
JP : Fast Dry
Easy to use
Camille : Noisy
This holds a good amount and would be a great dehydrator if it wasn’t so noisy. The motor rattles A LOT! Way too loud for inside my house, I had to try it in the garage because it was so loud. Frustrating since I have been looking for a large all metal dehydrator for a while. I guess I will keep looking.
Lesia m. Gray : Good product, great price
Arrived on time, packaged well. Easy instructions, light weight, quiet. only wish it could do both Celsius and Fahrenheit
Frankie : Do Not Expect Quality
Terrible quality, very flimsy, not what we expected. Appears to be the typical “made in China” quality.
Colleen Thompson : Makes great dog treats
I love that it dehydrated almost everything. I can make lots of dog treats and treats for my grandchildren. Super excited about my new dehydrator.
Sandra Gngery : Poorly designed
Very poorly made, controls on top make placement in kitchen difficult, counter top only and the I have to stand on a stool to reach and see controls. No bueno!
Jeannie Peth : AMAZING!!!
I have used this almost every day since I opened the box. It is very easy to use and super quiet compared to many dehydrators I have used. It only has Celsius and no Farenheit, so you will have to convert if you live in the US. Having 10 racks makes this a blessing because I can do so much at one time. Controls are simple enough even a small child could use this. The screens are sturdy and the mesh is small but you will still want to purchase silicone mesh mats if you plan to do small items or herbs. This has become my new favorite appliance in my house.
kajsiabheev07 : Well worth investing
Loving this machine. Happy that I bought this thing. First time making jerky and it was bomb. Noise level was low enough to not bother you. It’s annoying how the manual does not have instructions for beef jerky. Had to watch other YouTube videos to find out temp settings for beef jerky. Definitely will buy this as a gift to my parents when I have enough money.
chris petterson : It's stainless steel and easy to clean
I do a lot of dehydrating. I am pleased with the stainless steel, it's durable and easy to clean. It's very quiet. There are 10 racks with ample space between so you can dry large quantities.
Donna Neighoff : Nice machine so far.
Like it so far. Turned it on and it's so quiet. Packed well for shipping.

Les C. : Large 10 tray capacity. Easy to clean!
Hydrator was easy to unpack and set up when received. I was able to perform the initial start up and cleaning cycle within minutes of unpacking. The cycle functioned as stated.It has 10 trays and large capacity. Perfect for my needs.
Jackie : look forward to many seasons of preserving my harvest
As described, love that the racks will go into the dishwasher and a lifetime warranty to boot!
Kathryn T. : Very happy with how this dehydrator performs.
I have already began dehydrating with this product and it works great. It is lighter than I expected for its size, which is a huge plus for me. The controls are very easy to use. The mesh on the trays is a perfect size for smaller fruits like your smaller berries.
If wanted to improve anything it would be to have the ability to switch the temperature from Celsius to Farenheit. If that option is available I have not found it. I also wish the guide was a little better. There are lots of fruits but no vegetables in it. And the meats are not something most people would dehydrate here - for example fish.
JP : Fast Dry
Easy to use
Kathy : Quality Dehydrator
I was very please with my purchase, this is a quality dehydrator at a great price, and is very easy to use. I have already recommended this dehydrator to a friend that has been wanting to purchase one.
D. Gekle : Awesome!
I just love this Stainless Steel Food Dehydrator! I have a large garden and it comes is so handy, do easy to use and it even comes with a cookbook with ideas and all the temps you need to know for dehydrating everything that you can think of. One of the mail reasons why I bought it is to make jerky for my rather two large Rottweiler's. One of my rotties got cancer and I swear it was from the treats we gave her that was all processed and not real food treats. If you go to the pet store to get all natural jerky for your dogs it is $14 give or take for 8 oz. that is $7 a pound. So I go to the grocery store and get chicken well now a days on a good day for $1.99 lb and I also will go to the meat market and get a pork loin for the same price as chicken. I slice it up add low sodium soy sauce with a little onion powder & garlic powder and liquid smoke let it soak at room temp for a couple of hours stirring ever 30 mins to get an even soak and take the trays out spray them with some pam non stick spray put them in the dehydrator at 149 temp for 2 1/2 - 3 hours you have the most natural jerky for your dogs and my cat also goes nuts over it I just cut into tiny pieces for her but she would rather have that than can food.
Jay$Dee808 : Awesome.
Best buy of the year, thing works like a workhorse.
Cartman : Great purchase!
This is my second dehydrator. The plastic shelves decintigrated in my first. These are stainless. Also love the fact you can leave out some racks to accommodate bulky items
Lisa : Dosen't work
Used it for the first time today . It only heats the very top The rest of the trays are still cold to the touch
Kathy : Quality Dehydrator
I was very please with my purchase, this is a quality dehydrator at a great price, and is very easy to use. I have already recommended this dehydrator to a friend that has been wanting to purchase one.
John Barrows : Very good
Easy to use, works better than more expensive models i have seen.
RSTR8 : Jerky machine
8 lbs jerky first run, came out perfect.... A bit larger than I envisioned, but fit on island counter fine. 4 lbs ground sirloin jerky sticks, and 4 lbs sliced flank steak strips 1/4" thick, 267 degrees F for 5 hours for the ground and 9 for the strips..... machine ran quiet and flawlessly. counter top at front of unit got rather hot, moved to edge to let vent freely. Clean up was easy, rinsed trays with hot water and placed in dish washer. Take care with the free tongs, sliced my thumb rather deeply pulling a piece of meat from them. all in all, very happy with this purchase.
Amazon Customer : Solid, well built, and highly functional
Product was packaged well and is easy to put together. Highly functional unit, no frills. Very nice and large. Metal construction is better than any plastic one out there.
Brian D. : Works Awesome
We are very pleased this purchase. For just a little extra money, we can do 2-3 times the amount of food to dehydrate. Well worth the money. I know this will last a long time.
Eric : Best dehydrator ever for making venison jerky.
Simple to use, easy to clean, and reaches high enough temperature to kill harmful bacteria for raw venison. Enough space to make a big batch of jerky.
galina : stop working
very very bad stop working was staying not used a lot
T.C. Stewart : Great quality product
Works great so far after 2 batches of jerky. Quiet and easy to use. Will update review if any changes
Ivy : Great dehydrator but has less room for taller items
Great dehydrator overall but unlike our other dehydrator the edges of the racks slide into these metal slots that are not very tall. This is fine if you are drying flat items but we were drying mushroom caps and essentially this meant that we had about 3/4” less space than we anticipated around the perimeter of each rack and it made the trays a lot harder to use. But it has good drying, we like the digital settings and great dehydrator overall.
D. Gekle : Awesome!
I just love this Stainless Steel Food Dehydrator!

William A. Shipman : Well designed and manufactured
This dehydrator was well packaged. Some damage to the outer carton but none to the dehydrator and came promptly. Due to the size of this dehydrator, you will probably put it into some sort of storage area and put it on your countertop when you want to use it. The box is pretty light and has a handle on top to help move it from place to place. I have dehydrated a few things in this and it works very well. The controls are intuitive and easy to use. Completely adjustable time and temperature. Temperature adjustments can be in fahrenheit or celsius by pressing and holding the temperature button. This unit is pretty quiet, quieter than a microwave or refrigerator. the entire unit is made of stainless steel, except for the control panel, which is very good. The 10 mesh trays, also stainless steel, are of a fine mesh such that all but fine ground spices won't fall through. I would recommend getting silicone mesh screens to place on the steel shelves because it keeps items from sticking to the metal screens of the trays. The fan in the back does a great job of drying all produce inside as it circulates the heat evenly across the trays and dries evenly, even if you only have one or all 10 trays full. The main box is made of 100% stainless steel is a bit of a thin gauge, but there is probably no good reason to make it heavier and doesn't influence it's ability to dry produce or influence it's energy efficiency. After all, the circulation fan sucking air in from the back to blow over produce and exit the front, helping to evenly dry produce, would negate the purpose of any insulation of the box. This product is at a good price point, you can pay more but won't find a better product for the intended purpose. There is one function that would be nice. If it had a "keep warm" function so if drying while away, the items wouldn't re-hydrate while left alone a few hours. This is easy to work around however by setting a short time and low temperature for a bit before bagging up produce that may have re-absorbed some moisture while sitting after turning off. Very satisfied with this dehydrator's design and manufacture
Ashley Jennings : It works great
I ended up getting a replacement due to damage to the fan during shipping the first one. the second one works great and I would recommend.
Gerhard Maier : Very loud. Took raspberries 4 days straight to dry
I like the capacity
Hunter M. : Works Great!
I made my first batch of jerky last night and it turned out better than ever. The temperature was on point and dried so much faster than my oven. I'm really impressed with the quality!
Gerhard Maier : Very loud. Took raspberries 4 days straight to dry
I like the capacity
Coachwhip : Works well
Good capacity, runs quietly. I've only tried peppers and fruit so far, and it worked fine. (If you're drying berries, use silicon mats, as they stick to the metal racks.)
The features said "It allows you to switch the temp unit between ℉ and ℃," but I don't see a way to do this.
Dodgecook : Great dehydrator!!
It arrived today, which was very fast!! It’s very good quality, has a decent starter cookbook, and I’m very pleased with its size and capability's!!
Amazon Customer : Solid, well built, and highly functional
Product was packaged well and is easy to put together. Highly functional unit, no frills. Very nice and large. Metal construction is better than any plastic one out there.
william kilpatrick : It works like a charm.
For the money this is the best deal. It works good. Easy to clean.
Preston Bonney : Great dehydrator
Stainless steel and easy to use
Sister claudia : Very Large equipment -- This is my first Dehydrator.
When removing packaging material -- part of it was stuck to the door.. Other wise ok
Anne : Stainless, long lasting, no plastic
I thought it was a great product, I use it for jerkey, fruits and fruit leather, vegetables.

I used the dehydrator to dry apple slices. I love it. It did a great job on the apples. I haven't used it for anything else yet. It does get warm so I put a piece of plywood that was a little bigger than the dehydrator and put it on my good table. It works great.
Coachwhip : Works well
Good capacity, runs quietly. I've only tried peppers and fruit so far, and it worked fine. (If you're drying berries, use silicon mats, as they stick to the metal racks.)
The features said "It allows you to switch the temp unit between ℉ and ℃," but I don't see a way to do this.
Preston Bonney : Great dehydrator
Stainless steel and easy to use
galina : stop working
very very bad stop working was staying not used a lot
Brian D. : Works Awesome
We are very pleased this purchase. For just a little extra money, we can do 2-3 times the amount of food to dehydrate. Well worth the money. I know this will last a long time.
