EAD or Cookie Press for Beef Jerky?

[Deeder]

I have a customer that wants to know if the EAD or the cookie press would be strong enough to push out her beef jerky. Anyone know?

How does she make beef jerky? When my hubby has made it in the past, he just cuts slices of meat & marinates it, then dries it. I can't imagine how you would use either of those tools in making jerky! I'm really puzzled by this one!

Not sure if it would be strong enough. The meat for the jerky is a lot thicker than any cookie dough.

I saw something today at Farm and Fleet (it's a WI, IL, IA thing) that looked just like the EAD, but it was for jerky. I bet this is where people are getting this idea. Didn't inspect it too closely, but it has the same "caulking gun" look.

I think they make like jerky pepperoni sticks. I'm worried it wouldn't be strong enough.

SEE!!! For all of you who laughed at me when I told the story about the guest being mad because her EAD broke making jerky....well, here is someone else wanting to do the same thing!

The answer is NO! They aren't strong enough to do beef jerky. I know from experience, having had a customer who was royally ticked off when her EAD broke trying to make Jerky with it....

The Pampered Chef cookie press is the same as the Nesco jerky gun except for the jerky nozzles instead of the cookie disks. See here:
