Default RE: jerky question

ive heard that it should be frozen for 30 days ,to kill some kind of parasite, more so if you use low heat to process it
I don't think your freezer is cold enough to kill any parasites. Have you ever frozen a tick. they just hibernate and come back when it warms up. As far as processing using low heat, you should add instacure no1 to your marinade as this prevents botulism which is caused by just the right temperature . Ie. low heat curing. Lets be carefull out there. You can purchase the insta cure from the sausagemaker.
