done incorrectly, you can poison yourself or others. This publication shows you how to make this delicious treat safely at home,
including the proper use of ovens or dehydrators and that of thermometers; how to accurately judge doneness; the preparation
techniques needed when dehydrating different types of protein, including fish; and how to condition, package and store your
batches safely after they're done. Illustrated, with a few recipes.
