Help! I forgot my jerky in the dehydrator. Instead of being pliable, it is hard as a rock!!! The taste is still good, but it makes for some hard chewing! Is there anything I can do to make it pliable again? I make this just for snacking, not LTS or for cooking, so it will not be getting...

got all dehydraters going this morning one has apple slices and the 2 others have ham slices boy the house is starting to smell good--was reserching on you tube and saw where you could make hame jerky so im trying it -theres a store near here -save -a-lot- like a bulk store -cosco-sams club-...

What are your favorite jerky marinades? Do you like to brine? Teriyaki? Sweet and hot? Peppered? What is your preferred wood to use in your smoker?
