Hi, just found this video because Im obsessed with chilli bites and want to try and make my own. My question: if i have no place to hang them, could I dry them in the food dehydrator? I have quite a large one as I forage mushrooms and dry them too.
@GavinConwayWoodworkBBQ9 күн бұрын
Hi yes but cut thinly and try for a lowest temp if at possible no more than 25°C. If not possible then just your lowest it will go to. You can also just hang on like a washing hanger frame and have a fan blowing on it in the garage etc. No need for heat unless the garage or shed is really cold like in winter.

Gavin, I think I've cut the meat in the wrong direction. Will it still be okay dried? It also has a vein of sinew down the middle of the steaks 🥺

It's hanging now, thanks. Got 2 pc fans blowing at them and a mini probreeze peltier dehumidifier. Running costs about 1p an hour (and we have solar for daytimes ha). It's between 18-20C here in Wales atm. I've ordered a cheap hygrometer so I can see the humidity (it needs to be below 50% right?). The meat is hanging inside a nylon wardrobe/dryer in the kitchen. The place stinks of biltong seasoning 😆

Hi, I have a small 9v dehumidifier, I was thinking of using without any light. Have you tried this setup?
@GavinConwayWoodworkBBQАй бұрын
Try it - the light is just for a bit of heat to dry the air a bit so really if it has airflow it should work. Just cut the meat thinly to try it.
@Riggy2201Ай бұрын
Yeah, i was thinking that if the dehumidifier draws the moisture away it could work well and it's only 25watts. We have one of those nylon airing cupboards with the little heater at the bottom. I'll try it, but with the dehumidifier on instead of the heater.

What I find fascinating is the fact that when I looked up videos by actual South Africans to get authentic biltong recipes/methods, they are all different. And I mean VERY different. Is there such thing as an authentic South African biltong, or is it just a matter of doing whatever you like to prepare the meat before drying it?
@GavinConwayWoodworkBBQАй бұрын
ok so generally biltong was made using salt and pepper. Then they started to add coriander which I mus tadmit does give it a good taste. So that is the basics. People add all sorts of things nowdays but really dont need to. For my stokkies and chili bites I did change the flavour by adding the worcester and soy sauce just to be a different product in my range of products.

Hi Gavin, this group still active - If so, I see all your fans blows on your biltong, how do you prevent case hardening ?
@GavinConwayWoodworkBBQАй бұрын
A few tips: 1. No heat for the first day. This stoops it sweating and can cause mould. 2. Gentle fan breeze. 3. Shed temp 20-25°C 4. Stop fans for a night on about day 3 or 4 to let moisture out the middle and stabilise. 5. Repeat step 4 on day 5 if a bit of case hardening seems to appear. 6. Dont let it hang once its ready or it will dry out and harden.

Hi Gavin, I'm also from Rhodesia, moved to SA for many years but now living in Mauritius 😊So nice to watch your videos. So I'm guessing you use the soya sauce to give the stokkies a browner colour? So would it be dark or light soya sauce? And a plain, straight forward Balsamic vinegar? So could I use this Namibian spice as the "base" recipe to use either a "chilli" flavour, or a "barbecue" flavour, in order to vary the taste I'm looking for? Best regards
@GavinConwayWoodworkBBQАй бұрын
Hi - its just something I tried and stuck with it. Just aflavouring I guess. Yes to your Namibian as a spice recipe for everything then add as required. If you can get Crown National Safari Biltong spice add 1/2 teaspoon per kg meat and it makes a good flavour for plain biltong.

Chutney is difficult to get it into the meat. Cut meat thin and add chutney to the spice and leave for two days in the fridge and turn a few times a day. Garlic and chilli I add 1 teaspoon to the spice micx per kg meat.

A lot of knives have different bevel angles - look online for info. Longer knives would have to be done by hand possible using the scisors sharpening type of tool.
