Description
Welcome to It's A Wonderful Knife, a channel dedicated to my perspective and experiences relating to knives and other daily-carried personal gear: tools, keychain accessories, and lights, as well as camping gear and whatever else I can manage to get my hands on, use, test, and share.

I don't plan to stop there, however -- I have several hobbies and various interests, and it's my hope that others will want to hear about them and share their own experiences with me.

Thanks for stopping by and tuning in. Let me know what you think as well as any ideas for videos you'd like to see in the future.

Instead of sodium nitrate to cure the meat, you can put the jerky in a pre-heated 275 degree oven for about 10 minutes after drying, that will kill any bugs that might survive the drying process (which is sometimes not quite hot enough to kill bacteria).

This model runs about $60US right now, but there are similar models priced a little higher and a little lower. I imagine they all have their downsides but you probably can't go too wrong with any of them. Thank you for watching, friend!

I think that's a fantastic idea! I don't own one, but if I did, that would certainly be my method. I watched an infomercial ages ago that discussed that very idea and I always wanted to try it. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Yes! I agree; I haven't had a bad batch yet and I don't imagine I will. Thank you for watching!

Yes, my subsequent batch was back to my own homespun blend. I definitely prefer it. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and for watching!

My wife bought this bottle locally, but I just looked it up on Amazon. They've got a 2-pack for $13 before shipping (or free with Prime). It's called Floyd & Fred's Hot Lime Habanero Pepper Sauce. Fair warning: it's a lot closer to lime "juice" than sauce, even when taking into consideration that most hot sauces are pretty thin to begin with; this stuff is nearly water-like in its consistency (but packed with flavor). It's still wonderful and works well with fish and Asian dishes especially.

I'd been considering a dehydrator for a while but this convinced me.

It really does! So far from intestines when it's done though! Thanks for watching!

We got a dehydrator not to long ago and made the mistake of cutting our meat against tte grain, making it hard. Always cut with the grain. Makes a great snack

I havent made beef jerky in a long tine. I refound my Nesco 'Snackmaster' jerky maker in the garage. I decided to toss a batch in. I like mine thicker though.

I use zip lock bags and squish out the air so all pieces are thoroughly in the liquid. In my house, this would be gone by end of day. We’re making 13 pounds of round which will yield about 3-4 pounds. We’re doing a few different batches for family.
