Her Jerkey-omatic tool looks cool, but you could probably get by with a large freezer bag with the corner shipped off. It's basically just a piping bag, for use with yummy meat.

UPDATE 27 September 2010 22:07: Mopar stops by to say that the lovely Cher is indeed married, and is in fact Mrs. Mopar. To my young Gentlemen readers, my apologies for getting your hopes up. Ya snooze, ya lose.
He does not tell us - and cruelly leaves to our imaginations - whether he is the Very Well Fed Indeed Mopar.
If you go down to the chili post she mentiones a husband.

If my roommate can make jerky, anyone at all--probably even Steven Hawking--can make jerky.
ReplyDeleteyummmm...
Heh, it's not Claire, it's Cher, as in Cheryl, as in Mrs. Mopar. Just sayin'. :)
ReplyDeleteDon't know how the freezer bag idea would work, I've used her extruder and it takes a fair amount of pressure to push the meat through. It works like, and takes about the same force as (maybe a bit more, actually), a caulking gun. Those round beef sticks taste just like Slim Jims, and sooo much cheaper and healthier. She also has a flat tip that makes traditional looking jerky out of the ground meat. That ends up being a lot like store-bought jerky in that there is no grain and it's not as chewy. Prob how the commercial guys make it anyway. I'm sure they are using ground up scraps of crap and not slices of steak.
BTW, she says thank you for the link!
He is VERY well fed indeed, that Mopar guy.
ReplyDeleteBTW - thanks for linking to my blog . . . awesomeness!
BP, you've met me. Do I *LOOK* like I'm starving?
