Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Hey Judy, You guys wouldn't be raw VEGANS anymore, would you! ;-) But seriously, meat dehydrated at a low temperature for a long period of time? Sounds like a great way to get a nasty illness. Yikes!

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Oh, I get you now, Judy. You know, there ARE raw eaters that eat raw meat. I have come across some of their web sites before. If you do a search on " caveman diet " or " paleo diet " or " paleolithic diet, " there's lots out there. I'm so glad you guys aren't planning on making " raw " jerky. *sigh of relief* Blessings, Jennifer _____ rawfood [rawfood ] On Behalf Of Judy Cozza Sunday, March 19, 2006 5:34 PM rawfood Re: [Raw Food] jerky We don't eat meat - but my husband just asked me the question and I just didn't know the right answer.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 super model carol alt, whos book I read and she is the one that got me on the raw path... SHe eats lots of raw meats, mostly fish I believe...but she talks about it in her book! I personaly dont care for fish either raw or cooked, so I skipped that particular section of her book! But she considers herself raw for 8 years now.....(at least I think those are the right stats...my book is at my moms right now, so I cant double check..LOL) peace!

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 That is one of the books I have read also. That doesn't interest me at all - raw fish or meat. Thanks for the information though! That book helped me to understand a lot. judy On 3/19/06, Sherry <dobeythehouseelf wrote: > > super model carol alt, whos book I read and she is the one that got me on > the raw path... > > SHe eats lots of raw meats, mostly fish I believe...but she talks about it > in her book! > > I personaly dont care for fish either raw or cooked, so I skipped that > particular section of her book! > > But she considers herself raw for 8 years now.....(at least I think those > are the right stats...my book is at my moms right now, so I cant double > check..LOL) > > peace! > > > > Jennifer <simplify wrote: Oh, I get you now, Judy.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Well, you are in luck. It just so happens that I saw a jerky episode on the Food Network the other day. Following is Alton Brown's recipe for beef jerky. Being a lifelong vegetarian, I wouldn't know what it's supposed to taste like but he says it's great. Alton Brown's Beef Jerky 1 1/2 to 2 pounds flank steak 2/3 cup Worcestershire sauce 2/3 cup soy sauce 1 tablespoon honey 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper 2 teaspoons onion powder 1 teaspoon liquid smoke 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes Special Equipment: 1 box fan, 4 paper air-conditioning filters, and 2 bungee cords Trim the flank steak of any excess fat, place in a zip-top bag, and place it in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours in order to firm up. Remove the steak from the freezer and thinly slice the meat with the grain, into long strips. Place the strips of meat along with all of the remaining ingredients into a large, 1-gallon plastic zip-top bag and move around to evenly distribute all of the ingredients. Place the bag into the refrigerator for 3 to 6 hours. Remove the meat from the brine and pat dry. Evenly distribute the strips of meat onto 3 of the air filters, laying them in the grooves and then stacking the filters on top of one another. Top these with 1 empty filter. Next, lay the box fan on its side and lay the filters on top of it. Strap the filters to the fan with 2 bungee cords. Stand the fan upright, plug in and set to medium. Allow the meat dry for 8 to 12 hours. If using a commercial dehydrator, follow the manufacturer's directions. Once dry, store in a cool dry place, in an airtight container for 2 to 3 months. Note from me: He says to use the filters that DON'T contain fiberglass. The theory behind using cold air instead of heated is that it preserves flavors better. I had wondered if it would work for our applications but I don't see how it would. Another thing--on the show he said that the jerky would keep up to 40 years if stored correctly. Personally, I wouldn't care.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I saw her book too but when I read her consumption of animal flesh, that was the time to put her book back on the shelf. I do not consider her raw what so ever. Its like vegetarians who eat fish. No kidding.!!

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Judy, Come to think of it, he indians had jerky long before we had dehydrators but then they didn't have some of the contaminants we now have in the environment. don't know how high the temperature gets in the sun when drying thin strips of meat on bushes, etc. :-) Tammy On Mar 19, 2006, at 9:56 PM, Judy Cozza wrote: > whoa Tommie - that was a lot of work. > Thanks for letting me know. > Judy > > On 3/19/06, jerushy1944 <no_reply > wrote: > > > > Well, you are in luck.
