Post by: hybridcx on March 20, 2012, 07:43:58 PM

They look great!  I did my first nuggets last weekend and think it will be difficult to judge when a batch is perfectly done as there are a lot of variables - nugget size and how often they are rotated seeming to be the major ones to me.  Guess we'll just have to keep doing it until we achieve perfection.  And of course have to suffer consuming all of the experiments along the way ::)!

Because they vary in size not all will be done at exactly the same time. I go by feel and look of the nugget. Of course taste testing every them every 30 to 45 minutes may be optional to achieve perfection ;)

Hybrid,

Nice work!  They look great, and you should have some new friends unless you've figured out a way to hide those goodies.  Reminds me that I have to get to Sam's Club and price a couple of whole sirloins  ;D

Those look great! What cut of meat did you use?
Title: Re: nuggets
Post by: hybridcx on March 29, 2012, 09:41:28 PM
i used cubed meat, or stew meat.

i stored both in fridge and counter top... for some reason at times i like my jerky cold when eating it... the wife not so much. it lasted only a week in the sense that we ate it all up. it didn't go bad.

I made some last week and they were great. I think after sitting a few days on the counter they got better. Everyone loved  them. Made one batch regular and one batch sprinkled some red pepper on. Good stuff.

Made my first batch today and they came out fantastic. I used my pepper grinder and ground some fresch red pepper on them. I used a taryaki marinade that was from the same company but had a pinapple base and I combined that with a mandarin orange terryacki jerky seosoning from Cabelas. I will most definately do these again and am considering throwing in crushed red pepper during the marinade process. Will post pics ASAP

That recipe sounds very good. Was it sweet and hot at the same time?

That is a good looking batch of nuggets. They look kind of chewy just like I would like them. I am with you. I would like them a little on the over done side. They look great.
