First time dehydrator owner. I have strips of beef flank curing in the fridge since last night. The directions say to precook the meat to 160. Seemed odd to me, so I'm searching online a little and everything says the same. But they also say to follow all the other super important safety tips like never thawing meat on the counter and cleaning all bowls ahead of time with bleach, which makes me skeptical. All 6 of us order our steaks rare... I would never dream of cooking red meat cuts to 160.
Are you guys precooking meat to 160 before it goes in the dehydrator?
