Hi Tony
I have not been able to find any pre-prepared chicken here at all, I have even
looked for chicken in a foil pouch like the tuna you can buy.
I have tried all types of chicken and chicken mince too but with only very
little success.

If drying meat, look for the leanest cut or pat dry with absorbent paper before
drying. Any fat left on the meat before dying will make the drying process much
harder and the results are not as good. Same goes for sausage, it does not dry
well at all.

I will often dry left over stews and so on or allow and extra portion when Wendy
is cooking then dry that and I have had lots of success with that method.

I see Mark has given you a link to one of the best places to get food ideas
from, there is another site based in Canada that also has a lot of ideas but I
do not remember the address.

Good luck
Andrew_P2

Subject: [Aushiker] Tinned meat


Greetings,

I suspect this may have been discussed previously, but here goes:

I'm about to venture into the brave new world of food dehydrating (thank
you, eBay). Has anyone ever seen tinned chicken in Australia? It seems
to be easily available in the US, but I have never seen it here. Web
sites say that cooking fresh chicken and dehydrating it leaves you with
chicken jerky, which I don't want.

Any other tips, advice etc about dehydrating gratefully received.

Cheers, Tony
