South African Biltong is airdried spiced meat, mostly beef, but venison or lamb work well too. A whole lamb shoulder is ten pounds, perfect for eight pounds of thick steak strips, and two pounds of lamb shank and trimmings for stew.Because the airdried meats are not cooked, the center of biltong meat tastes fresher than beef jerky. I use my airfryer outside for insect proof air drying. By running the dehydrator at night, and using the morning sun during the day, this process takes one week instead of two. The biltong is ready when half of its weight has evaporated.

With the danger of wild fires, I don’t smoke overnight in my barbecue anymore in summer, but use my airfryer, it has the perfect low temperature dehydration mode for cold smoking. I cold smoke leftover chicken and turkey and fresh fish, seafood, sausages, pork to make prosciutto, Jerky, beef and canadian bacon. I also cold smoke dried paprika powder, salsa, figs, peaches, mushrooms, and truffled cheese. My other recipes are in cookpad, this recipe is for smoked fresh sausages.All it takes is a metal measuring cup and a handful of hardwood chips.

Freeze drying and sun drying preserves foods before they spoil by removing the moisture. I freeze dry with a block of dry ice in a camper cooler. A 5 pound block of dry ice lasts 2 days.Note: freeze drying is very expensive. It is not necessary to freeze dry ingredients that preserve well without freeze drying. Making a delicious freeze dried meal quickly with only one freeze dried ingredient in its own sauce, then adding other dry dinner ingredients that cook in hot water in half an hour in the same bag, that is the way to go for me.Here are 6 meals and six desserts that reconstitute with hot water in a bag in half an hour, while camping or in an emergency. Always press food flat inside the quart bag and press air out. Always freeze the food first in your freezer before freeze drying in the campcooler.

I butcher whole chicken, and leave the skin and ribs on the breasts when I cut them up. That keeps the breasts juicy when air frying on the rotisserie. Once done, the ribs pull right off with a fork.

Chicken leg quarters, thigh attached to the drumstick, weight half a pound each and cost 40 cents a piece at the farmers market, frozen in ten pound bags. One leg quarter feeds two people, because the bone is only 20% of the weight.Smoked chicken meats stay fresh for a week in the fridge. Delicious on sandwiches, in salads, and as snacks.My air fryer smoke method is hands off, the probe thermometer ensures a safe, 165F degree, internally cooked chicken, and the skin is tender, smoked and glazed. By smoking two quarters in the air fryer, enough meat for a week for one person for under one dollar.#GlobalApron

Air fryers allow you to sautee fish fresh, and get away from breading fish for baking. Deboned fresh fish filets, sauteed on a thin layer of citrus slices, or, apple, peaches, or onion, no breading crust, it is like cooking a fresh caught fish wrapped in its own juices: petrali sole, a pollock, a trout, a mackerel, a walleye, a salmon, cod, tilapia, you will discover their different amazing flavors instead of eating fish sticks.
