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)
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.
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.
never understood who bought this stuff, it has always been extremely expensive.

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