:D:o


The following cuts are suitable for biltong making

Binneboud (Topside)
Dyskyf (Silverside)
Kruisksyf (Rump)
Diklies (Thick Flank)
Rugstring (Scotch Fillet/Fillet)

Cut into 2.5 cm thick slices with the grain, after removing as much sinew (and bindweefsels) as possible.

I've got a 15w in the box right now and you don't want to hold it in your bare hand.

It may or may not be enough depending on your conditions but in the summer months it's just what I need. Plus I can find my biltong at night ;)

The 30w halogen? They claim it gives off the same light as a much more powerful traditional incandescent - though how much more powerful I don't know. Besides, it's the only bayonet bulb the hardware store had on the day.
 
Look up biltong recipes etc on the Crown National Website.

Crown also recommends that no heat is applied for the first 12 hours if using a biltong maker, only ensure air circulation. Then maintain an optimum drying temperature of 30º C

The theory is to first "seal the biltong" by getting it "wind droog", then dry as quickly as possible to reduce risk of mould forming.

Dry to taste, vacuum pack and freeze. They say it lasts for 6 months in a freezer

How long can biltong last just out of curiosity I normally eat it within a matter of days but would like to buy in bulk at that price. 10 odd kilos

Keep very wet biltong in the fridge inside the paper bag you buy it in. Mine never lasts. And I'm NOT 100% sure on the price. I just buy, but it is less than R200 of that I'm sure.
