Also a minimum of 30% reduced weight is ideal what you're looking for in a salted/dried meat. I weighed my tray's full with raw meat then multiply by .30 to get my target weight when dried. That's a minimum, for crunchy things it will be up to a 50% reduction in weight. Hope that helps! ❤️

Yes, that is definitely an option!

That’s a great idea!

ha, yes those chicken skins are rather addictive!

I put mine in air frier.

I just made some last night for the first time, and everyone loved them. I did them in my air fryer, but had to do them in a few batches. I think I'll use the oven next time to do them all at once, so thanks for the idea.

Thank you for this post... I feel silly asking this, but wanted to be sure I do this right. Chicken Skin... flesh side down... RIGHT?

Thank you so much again! Kohlrabi! I love that you know what that is! And I've had some nasty cuts from my box grater so I appreciate the safety aspect as well! 💗🍁

So kind of you!

You're such a sweetie! 😊

Thank you, I will definitely take a look! In a few months if it turns out I am using this thing often then upgrading will be the thing to do. I have 4 grown kids and I know at least 2 of them would love to adopt this from me!

@@KetogenicWoman Generous mom, thou art!

I have the 6 tray. Love it! Just made meat chips last night 😋😋

Love my Cosori! Makes the best dehydrated stuff!!!

I love Cosori brand :) thank you I’d love a dehydrator for meat chips . Until I can afford I will try the oven method

Very nice! Mine don't last long either!

They really are yummy! And yes, I've seen lots of sales on them!

You are so kind! ☺😍

Glad you are enjoying the channel!

Enlighten me, please…How thick do you slice your meat for dehydrating? Do you slice it semi-frozen? How do you season or flavour it? How many hours of dehydrating? Have you tried Serious Keto, 🌮🌮🌮Steve’s Tortillas 2.0… he dehydrates them into very crispy chips?🌮🌮🌮 Gladys, a fellow 🇨🇦Toronto.

@@gladysobrien1055 I slice 1/8” if i want it faster, other times 1/4” thick. I marinate my meat in lite soy sauce, a little liquid smoke and a little onion and garlic seasoning. There are lots of marinade recipies online. I watch everything from Steve, everything 😆 I have not tried his chips yet but eventually i hope too.🌹

Thank you, I might try jerky as well at some point, nice idea to give it as gifts! I bought the carnivore crisps once and with shipping and exchange just too expensive to buy for Canadians. And these are just as good TBH!

They aren't exactly affordable in the US either, so I can only guess it's even worse in Canada.

oh I hope it's going well for you!

How’s it going? I’m doing healthy keto this month with hopes of transitioning into carnivore next month.

How do you make it high fat? Need some tips.

Oh boy, few things as yummy as crisp chicken skin!

Where did you buy chicken skin? Gladys🇨🇦

Yes, I forgot to mention that it did come with 4 silicone sheets!

I have loved my Excalibur 8 drawer muchly. Whatbisvtheveildest most creative things you have fone with your dehydrator. I once MADE WWWWAY to much chili, dtovkedbup all my b eighbors withbit and still had lots...so I zipped it up with stick blender and had the most amazing crackers!

Sounds great!

Meat flour, wow! What do you use it for? I am very curious! 😊

Meat flour- great idea!

Rain Country, vacuum seals mason jars, they have a 7 year old jar of cooked Elk in perfect condition, as well as other prepared meats. They have been prepers for years, I will be stacking cooked burger patties for my family.

@karenreaves3650 that generally requires a pressure canner which is an investment and takes up shelf space. Once upon a time I did hanker for one but I got over it 😉

I actually had such a situation! I took some with me when I caught a ferry to go see my kids and there was delay after delay. So luckily I had them because that was my dinner!

For lower cost jerky (see jerkyholic's web site) - not these crisps - it seems you can use 90 to 96 % lean ground beef. Anita's efforts are greatly cost saving in comparison to carnivore crisps which are $10.00 USD per 1.5 oz bag but the good meats are not cheap. Hope this helps any budget-minded preparations and backup plans in your pantry.

I've dehydrated ground beef, they're in the cupboard several weeks now☺

This unit did come with 4 silicone sheets but I assumed they were for special applications, never thought to do the meat on them! I will try it out!

@@KetogenicWoman The meat can be done on them, but will take longer. If it's fatty meat, you'd have to dab off the fat as it pooled. I've only used lean cuts like top round because I was always always told that fat would cause it to go rancid long-term. Of course, I tend to eat everything before that could happen, so I will probably do a fattier cut in the crisps type slices just to see what happens. I'd recommend using the silicone liners like the ones from Gucugi on Amazon. They're very flimsy so are easily washed in the sink, but they fit perfectly on the trays and the tray itself has enough support that the flimsiness isn't a problem. I don't put any meat on the bottom tray and use one or two of the solid silicone sheets on the bottom tray to catch any of the juices or fat that melts. One should be fine. I just double it to be extra cautious. I'll place a few of the weighted baking beans that are used for pie crusts on the sheet in a few places just to keep the air from potentially causing it to flap around when the pan is on. I'll rotate the racks every couple of hours, both turning them and shifting their position, and I'll wipe the catcher sheet off if necessary. Not sure rotation would be needed in the smaller dehydrator. I do find it makes the drying more even in the 9 tray one. I like the silicone mesh ones because all the little holes allow for better airflow, and they're so much easier for me to clean than the hard plastic mesh mine came with. The solid ones can be used with ground beef, or eggs, or cheese, or crackers, or meaty gelatin collagen smears. Anything you can turn into a fruit roll-up like consistency that will still dehydrate down, or the solid slices, too. I just find the mesh is the better option when drying anything not of a liquid consistency starting out, but I'm sure everyone has their preference. If upgrading, I've read many like the Cosari version and another large one that I don't remember the name of. I also saw a massive one once that'd dehydrate a hundred pounds of food at once, but that'd be like putting in another stove or fridge and was quite expensive. For the 9 tray Excalibur, there's a glass door that can be purchased separately which is unnecessary, but nice. Also, if dehydrating enough that you're taking it to that crispy level, you can always chunk them in a strong blender like the grain option of the Vitamix, or I'm guessing a good food processor would work, and grind them to dust to either use for making pemmican or for creating your own bouillon. Makes for nice hot drinks or extra meatiness if making something like a soup, dip, or the various enchilada, pie, or hot pocket type recipes out there. Can blend different animals for unique flavor blends. If using spices and peppers, that opens up so many possibilities. You're so creative in your recipes that I can only imagine what you might come up with and I look forward to seeing! Thank you for sharing so much with us. You're very inspiring. 🦋

@@ApAcVideoWatcher Wow thank you so much for all this fantastic information! I'm still very much a newbie to dehydrating but I feel like I will be doing lots of it!

@@KetogenicWoman You're welcome. 🦋💜

Thank you!

Yes I have heard that too! I did put a link in the video notes below to my video for people who don't have a dehydrator. I have made these exact same crisps in the oven!

Yes, they are out of mine too! So easy to make your own!

Wow thank you! I guess I sort of give updates every Sunday night in my livestreams and and Q&A!

Wonderful!

shelf life not too long because of the fat bits. I save mine in the freezer.

Yes absolutely keep them in the fridge if you made enough for a few days worth. When I travel I bring along a small cooler bag and they are in there so I'm comfortable with that for a couple days. The Carnivore Snax people told me their bagged meat chips had a shelf life of 3 days unrefrigerated once you open the bag so I kind of go by that.

Of course she will. 😁You know she will slowly get to you so that you will want all the toys just like me! 😁😁😁 You need a dehydrator…start looking for a bargain! 😁😁😁 Anita convinced me to buy a Ninja Creami….and I love it so much, I wished I had bought it at the beginning of summer! I froze my ☕Bulletproof coffee into the best Ice Cream ever! 🍨Completely ZERO carb with a hit of C-8 MCT oil.😁 And I bought a dehydrator because of how Anita dried the meat in the oven earlier this year. And a meat slicer to slice my own meat…and homemade sausages. And an air fryer… need I say more? Ok… And the WAFFLIZER…and a tortilla press, a quesadilla maker, a new Juiceman smoothie maker, Cuisinart replaced my 9 month old blender that died does that count, that was free!😁Then there were the 3 new coffee makers for different coffees from around the world three sizes of French presses, one Turkish coffee maker, and one Cold Brew coffee maker! And my brand new countertop portable dishwasher that I will use for the first time tomorrow morning! Recession? What recession….all this shopping will keep the economy afloat! Guaranteed! Gladys, Toronto, 🇨🇦

@@gladysobrien1055 LOL!!!! You’re too funny! I love kitchen gadgets as well. But…. Running out of space lol!

Truly was a great gift, so generous! I'm already thinking I need a bigger dehydrator lol!

lol, I know I can be such an enabler when it comes to kitchen gadgets! But you truly have more than me so I think the addiction is real! 😂😍

@@KetogenicWoman of course the kitchen appliance is real! The.woman who arrives at the pearly gates with all the appliances wins…and gets into heaven!😇

Lol, they all think that! 😂

@@KetogenicWoman what is the brand of the shredder?

Yes my air fryer has a dehydrate option and it works great, just not enough space for me!

Yes I have dehydrated in that Ninja and it works great! I don't have the trays and here in Canada to buy those trays was more than the cost of my dehydrator which I got on a great sale! But thanks for the reminder, I could get them both going! The ninja without the added trays does give you enough room to make me have 6 trays going instead of 4!

And Happy Birthday, what a great gift!

Thank you 😋 If you don't have a dehydrator, you can also do these in the oven, I left a link in the description for that as well.

Yes, the safety thing was freaking me out a little but now that I've used it I feel better! And yes, I will demo it top to bottom and give my tips, still learning what I can do/can't do!

I just bought one, too. Hamilton -Beach…5 year warranty! 200 watts of power. Search KZfaq demos for every brand you are considering. Will use slicer this week…plus will use dehydrator this week too. And my Ninja Creami! And my new portable countertop dishwasher! Gladys🇨🇦

Yes the Ninja works great and you can dehydrate using the basket fryer with one layer in the basket and one underneath the basket! I wanted to buy the dehydrator racks for mine but in Canada the cost for that was the same as my new dehydrator! Not sure about US price but if you just wanted to try out a few chips it works great as it is!

Dig it out. And try Serious Keto Tortillas 🌮🌮🌮2.0 he dehydrates the tortillas into the crispiest chips! Yum!🌮🌮🌮 Gladys🇨🇦

Yes, I need to put in a Redmonds order, getting low and I want to try that smoked cherry salt! Many years ago I had one of those round deydrators and made kale chips too!

Oh thank you! ☺

That sounds super!

You are so welcome!

We all do! It is dehydrator time!😁😁😁 Gladys🇨🇦

Drag it out of the basement or where ever it's hiding! I had one many years ago when I was a raw vegan and now wish I had kept it!

Search KZfaq for your brand and model …demo. You will learn everything from KZfaq, right Anita?

Good to know, my dehydrator did come with 4 silicone liners!

Yum, I made a whole whack of various brown butter bites today! That butter board is long gone! 😅

Thank you so much! 💗

I had a Saskatoon bush at my last house, I kind of miss it! Your Christmas snack sounds good! I'll have to check out Karl and Judy, I do follow them but often miss things that come up!

He sure did, I think he loves them as much as I do!

Awww thank you so much! I'm excited about the grater!

H-Mart will definitely have it, that is exactly where I bought my 2 trays of meat in the video!

Glad it was helpful!

What? Did you stop? Gladys🇨🇦

You are all set! 😍

Salami not Slamboni

Yes, I have done that in the past but I'm trying to severely limit processed meat. But it does work well for those can eat it!

Coming soon! 😍

You can do meat the same way you do chicken skins in the oven. Also, some grocery stores will sell you chicken skin, if you ask at the meat counter.

Ask your butcher! I bought 5 lbs organic skins from my butcher, he saved them up for me until he had 5 pounds.

Nope not me!

I looked it up and I have never seen a thing like that! Very cool!

Chihuahuas are very smart! The oven instructions are in the same link here: Just scroll down a little and you will see the info! ketogenicwoman.com/how-to-make-carnivore-meat-chips/

You are welcome!

🤗 Glad you liked it!

I just got my cherry salt yesterday!

It's says GeeDeel, it's this one here: amzn.to/3VwS4Hr Looks very solid, I can hardly wait to try it out this week! Dehydrator temp is 165 (74C). Look for my braised blade steak video in oven, it was only the second video I ever made so a bit rough around the edges, lol!

@@KetogenicWoman THANK YOU!! Your videos are all You & Your brilliance so they are perfect!! I think the salad shooter was actually smaller & my home & budget are tiny so not smart but... new stuff is always fun!! ;-) You answered in quickly! Thank You again! as I am putting the meat in now :-) I can't find out how to set up auto payments so they pay You every month... I can't remember to do anything on time :-( I need to study harder... HUGS

And it was completely annoying!

I make philly cheesesteak now and then, these days I leave out the veggies: ketogenicwoman.com/keto-philly-cheesesteak-skillet/

Thank you 😋 All my non keto/carnivore family and friends are loving them too!

Yes use it! The meat chips are so good!

@@KetogenicWoman we drive a semi, and only home weekends. I prep for our 5 days etc. been on weight stall for 4 weeks. Getting thyroid test in mail this week. So irritated when I eat no carbs, sweets etc. my TSH was 3.4 and my dumb doctor didn’t do all thyroid panel. Then of course he wants to put me on meds for high cholesterol . He is fired. Lol anyway love your videos. Your awesome

@@KetogenicWoman how is the slicer working. Let me know. I need to order one.

I hope Santa comes through for you! 💗

@@KetogenicWoman I'm not above playing Santa if the need arises, lol

Yes if you have them! I will probably order some to use instead of the paper towels!

They do slice best when partially frozen. I dehydrate mine from a raw state but be sure to preheat your dehydrator and that the temp is over 160 for that to be safe. Or do them in the oven.

@@KetogenicWoman yes, my dehydrator has a setting for jerkey at 160. I was hoping that was the answer. So in a way we are eating it somewhat raw, kinda.

Thank you 😀

also try dehydrating thin slices of liver for vitamin boost (use that meat slicer to cut them thin!)

So….eye of the round roast has no fat. Pemmican? Tell us more! Gladys🇨🇦

Mine worked even with the fat. What is the reason for not dehydrating with fat? I did do a lean pork loin yesterday that I had sliced with my meat slicer, those were good too and very little fat but I like the fatty crispy pieces too!

@@KetogenicWoman the fat gets bad for long term storage due to contact with air on many surfaces, and it never really dries up, so it technically should be sealed off... If you eat them in the same week its ok...

pemmican used to be sealed in skin pouches by natives in north america, and this made the meat + fat last forever. I think the fat turns"rancid" (is this the right word in English....?)

Yes, that works too!

Yes you could!

Thank you!

Oh, I thought it was a cheese grater but yes, I can see that you can use it for all sorts of things!

Thank you!

Thank you 😋

Ha! My entire kitchen is 24 sf….yes, 6 feet by 4 feet….so I hand my appliances inside the pantry door or on the outside of my pantry door, too. In the huge Costco shopping bags…using boxes to give the bags structure! There is always a place to hang a bag…. Back of bedroom door! Gladys🇨🇦

Typo from broken iPad8 …I hang my appliances up!

I have to actually keep some of mine in the garage but my garage door opens right up into my kitchen so that is actually very handy! The garage is like a huge walk in pantry to me!

@@KetogenicWoman that is fabulous!

Yes! It works great, I've made these exact chips in my Ninja but you only get 2 tray surfaces (under the air fry basket is one tray and the basket is the second tray). But you can get the add on dehydrator racks, here in Canada that rack costs what I paid for the dehydrator so I went with that.

I would use up within a few days and keep in the fridge.

I have a cooked roast frozen in the oven, I can hardly wait to find it and slice it!

Haha, I would eat all my inventory!

Sorry I've never made jerky, I find it too chewy. I prefer the crispy chips!

No that was my bad. The sponsored post you saw was the one where I forgot to stress that it was a free gift with a purchase, although I did have it in the description. They already gave me heck for that! And yes, it's pricy for us Canadians but I love it so much I'm getting it anyways both for myself and one of my sons who suffers with POTS. I do apologize for any confusion.

Yes, it works but just not enough surface area! I was thinking about the racks at one point but it still seemed like it would be small. And here in Canada those racks cost a lot! If you have the racks I would give it a try, my chips in there turned out great but I could only make a small amount at a time.
