Game has a Sunbeam. Which one between the Mellarware or the Sunbeam is better or is it basically the same?

O ok, I saw the Mellerware at Hyper. Mmm, Suppose it's the same ? Plastic box, light and a fan ?

Adding vinegar in the salting/spicing step of beef biltong did not increase the time that the meat takes to dry out. Therefore, adding vinegar does not make meat dry faster.

The conclusion based on the initial premise does not make sense.

How do I get the inside a bit dryer without the outside forming a hard crust of becoming too dry?

I had a batch in for 2 days with the fan and bulp but I would like the inside a little bit dryer.

Switch off the bulb and just do the fan.

Put a lower wattage bulb in? Watt [sic] are you using now?

Put a lower wattage bulb in? Watt [sic] are you using now?

I was using a 60w bulb. So should I go lower and perhaps keep it hanging for another day?

I'm pretty sure the box is rate for a 40w bulb so I'm thinking yes, you should go lower.

Green ? Like Grass green ? If you cut it off, biltong should still be good. Taste it... if it's yuck, throw it.
