Jerky is seriously price inflated with a surprisingly large amount of defenders who babble about the cost of meat without apparently having ever made some themselves.

Or maybe they're just bad at math?

Buy $20 of beef, rub it with some salt and spices and stick it in a dehydrator, it's not rocket science, it's literally just how humans have preserved meat for our entire history (minus the dehydrator convenience)

How much shrinks away? I've always suspected jercky to be a scam just don't know how much

[–] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Not much at all. I've made salmon, venison, and beef jerky - at most the meat contracts maybe 18 to 20 percent in size. If you have a multi level dehydrator and do it in bulk you can make it very cheap. Bonus is you can season it any way you like. I love teriyaki salmon and super spicy beef with mustard powder and onion.

Jerky is always a food of convenience. It's a food that is always on the shelf, you eat it if you're dead. If I had time, energy, equipment, space, and desire to cook, I would be cooking a meal.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, but you can make like 20 servings of Jerkey at once. You could even buy a large amount of beef at Costco or a bulk meat market and use part of the beef for a meal and Jerky the rest of it.

Yes. If you have time, energy, equipment, space, skill, and desire to cook. Working people this days rarely have it all
