Will I get sick from this jerky?
« on: December 24, 2016, 11:39:56 PM »
I made a bunch of duck jerky for the first time and I think I did it wrong. I cleaned the breasts and soaked them in salt water for 10 mins, cut them up, and washed again until I saw no blood. Then I marinaded them for 1 day with soy sauce and other stuff. I did not know cures existed and didn't think anything about them. I put the meat into my oven at 170 degrees for about  4 hours. When I put the meat in the outside of the meat was lighter color and the middle was a little darker. Will I get sick for not curing the meat before dehydrating?

You don't need cure for the meat to be safe to eat.
What temperature did the meat itself get up to?

170 for 4 hours, depending on how thick your jerky was cut, should have got it plenty hot to kill any bacteria.  Also you have plenty of salt in your marinade which also acts like a preservative.  Eat it and make sure to keep it refrigerated and you should be fine.  If you get the squirts......Throw it away.  Lol.

Sodium in soy sauce


9,175mg


    :yike: Serving size: 1 cup of liquid salt.

On the + side this is the low sodium one.

If it was bad you should have the squirts by now.  That would let you know.

If you got the meat from PlateauNDN, don't eat it! :chuckle:

There is no way the meat one, I am sure he beat the meat.  :o Yep, things just got weird.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.
