I prefer my jerky with a little bit of 'give' and chewiness to it but have found because it is not totally dry 'snap & rattle' it doesn't stay edible as long?
To counteract this I put a handful in a bowl on the kitchen bench which I can use as a snack when I feel like it. It's perfectly ok for amonth or so. The rest I bag up into freezer bags and bung it in the freezer to be used once the other stuff is eaten.

I still have a bit more experimentation to do with it though! I am wondering whether I add  it to some soup whether it wil reconstitute itself once boiled, or if I soak it in beef stock overnight will that reconstitute it?

Meanwhile I am enjoying eatng it as a snack and sometmes pop some in my mouth whilst walking Kato and use it like a flavoured chewing gum! Big Grin

Does Kato get any?
He's had some but I buy him dried mini chicken breasts which are chewy and he prefers. Of course he is a true carnvore so tends to eat the 'stripped' chicken thighs which I cook in the air fryer first,before eating his biscuits! Even he realises,wheat and seed oils are bad for him! He loves butter as well,nearly as much as I do! Big Grin
