TIPS
•
Grind meat twice, using a smaller grinding plate the second time to help with
mixture extruding.
•
It is best to season meat mixture, cover and store in refrigerator 4 to 12 hours
before extruding from Jerky Gun.
•
Stomper flat end is used to push meat mixture into Aluminum Tube and round
end can be inserted into Aluminum Tube to release air bubbles.
•
Make sure meat is very cold for easier extruding.
•
Always wash your hands, as well as all washable parts of the Jerky Gun, in
warm, soapy water before and after each use.
•
Choose a jerky recipe that has a small amount of liquid, and very lean meat.
This helps with even and consistent extruding.
•
It is recommended to use food-safe plastic gloves when mixing and adding the
jerky mixture to the Aluminum Tube.
•
Carefully fill the Tube with the meat mixture, ensuring there are no air pockets.
Air pockets will cause uneven extruding.
•
Do not rush extruding. Hold the Jerky Gun so the attachment is parallel with
the surface you are extruding onto. Slowly squeeze the Trigger to extrude the
mixture for level and uniform jerky pieces.
•
Use a flat-edged metal spatula at the tip of the attachment to cut off the
mixture when the desired amount has been extruded.
•
A rubber spatula is great for removing any remaining meat mixture in the
Tube.
•
Use the large Cleaning Brush for cleaning the Tube, and the smaller Cleaning
Brush for cleaning the attachments and releasing food stuck in parts.
