Very easy to clean too! Just mix the very lean hamburger with the seasonings, scoop the mix into the cylinder of the gun, and start clicking away! Jerky made with hamburger doesn't have to marinate and is easier to chew.GREAT tool!This is a great tool to make cheap hamburger jerky! We have used this to make the "slim jim" style jerky as well as the flat extruded style. We found that 5lbs walmart tube hamburger with 3lbs ground turkey makes a great mix. We mixed teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, honey, soy sauce and worchester sauce to cover the meat, and then placed on a mixer for about 10m then let set in fridge over night the meat absorbed the liquid. The plunger worked very well and did a nice job and fairly easy to clean too!Ridiculously easy...This was as easy as can be to use. I think the negative review must have had a defective unit. Just got mine today and had made several trays of jerky within about ten minutes!I've had more fun with this thingI am NOT good in the kitchen. However, I do like to experiment with stuff, and I'm nuts for gadgets.The day the jerky gun came, I washed it, then mixed a pound of ground beef with 1 TB pepper and 1 tsp of salt, and pushed it into the chamber. I put the nozzle on, squeezed the trigger a couple of times and voila! I have meat! Lots and lots of little tubes of meat that I extruded onto my dehydrator. Four hours later, I behold a little miracle. I have tough, flavorful jerky. I've used the jerky gun about five times since the initial effort and it's still fun, and still works well. I don't like the flat extruding attachment as much as the tube just because it's easier for me. I also have kitchen shears handy to cut off the tube to the proper size. The only caution - if using the tube extruding attachment, be aware that there will be some ground beef left in the nozzle when you've finished. All I did was roll this amount by hand and add it to the dehydrator. Great jerky gunWhat can I say, this is a great jerky gun. I've used it 4-5 times now and I've never had a problem. Just like with any type of "gun" item when the gun stops squeezing the stuff out and you take it apart there is a bit of meat left in the tube. I take it as a artistic opportunity and hand form a special piece of jerky with that leftover bit. My friend purchased the Nesco set with the dehydrator and jerky gun and this one has a bigger capacity and also extrudes bigger pieces of jerky, she liked it so much after seeing mine that she ordered one too. I haven't used any of the spice packets and don't plan to so I'm not sure how tasty those are.Product DescriptionDelicious jerky in as little as four hours.
