Is this normal when dehydrating fat? Looks like it squeeze fat out. Not even ready yet

Well im not dehydrating fat bought by Merck. It has small water content.
Its just strange, possible the meat contracts and pushes the fat togheter?

And muscle tissue has high water content, like 70% or more.. fat doesnt evaporate.

You got any other brain-busters for us to figure out?

>> No.12230846

you're not really suppose to dry out fat parts my nigguh, that's why most people start with lean cuts

>> No.12230852

>>12230846

Thats not entirely true; youve got to plan a little bit further ahead and cure the fat as opposed to simply dehydrating meat w seasoning

>> No.12230856

>>12230828
were you expecting it to completely disappear or something?

>> No.12230869

>>12230852
sure but OP isn't dry curing so that's kind of irrelevant I'd say

>> No.12230871

Lol, I know that fat wont evaporate. But the fatpart(ham) isnt safe from dehydrating and it should loose its small water content. Just the fatdrops are strange. Im working at my nd chemistry degree and wont make a troll thread :3

Im using CaCl2*H2O for drying and the ham had a watercontent of 60%.
Its now at 30% (like dry jerky) and needs 3more days to get to1-3%. Damn, I want to know how it looks without any water

>> No.12230879

that colour is wonderful

>> No.12230884

this should BTFO beef jerky when the flavor stays like the original. Black Forest ham JERKY !
