NESCO BJ-6 Jerky Spice Works 3-Pack Original Seasoning & Cure — Makes Up to 6 lb, Gluten-Free USA

NESCO BJ-6 Jerky Spice Works is a ready-to-use original jerky seasoning and cure set—three seasoning packs and three cure packs that flavor and preserve up to six pounds of meat for homemade jerky.

Make classic salty, lightly hickory-scented jerky at home using lean cuts of beef, pork, turkey or other game with minimal fuss. Each pack combines seasoning and cure designed for 1 lb of meat, so the 3-pack treats a total of 6 pounds. The mix is gluten-free and produced in the USA, and it works with food dehydrators or conventional ovens.

How do I use these packs to make jerky quickly?

Preparing jerky is straightforward: combine one seasoning packet and one cure packet with each pound of lean meat. For sliced jerky add about a half cup of water to help the flavors penetrate; for ground recipes, mix directly into the meat. Arrange slices or extruded sticks in a dehydrator or oven and dry until the texture matches your preference.

• One seasoning + one cure per 1 lb of meat
• Add 1/2 cup water for sliced jerky to aid absorption
• Use a jerky gun for uniform sticks or lay slices flat
• Dry in a dehydrator or oven until desired chewiness

What flavor profile and customization options does the Original pack offer?

The Original blend delivers a savory, salty base with a subtle hickory note—balanced to suit most palates and meat types. If you prefer heat, add a measured pinch of cayenne or your favorite crushed pepper. You can also experiment by blending with teriyaki or Cajun packets (sold separately) to create hybrid flavors.

• Savory-salty backbone with gentle hickory smoke
• Add 1/4 teaspoon or more cayenne for extra spice
• Mix packs for custom flavor combinations
• Works well with beef, pork, turkey, and game meats

How much jerky will this 3-pack make and how long does it last?

The three seasoning and three cure packets are formulated to season and cure up to 6 pounds of raw meat total—one set per pound. Drying time varies by meat thickness and equipment: thin strips may finish in a few hours while thicker pieces take longer. Properly dried and stored jerky kept in airtight containers will last weeks to months depending on storage conditions.

• Three seasoning + three cure = up to 6 lbs raw meat
• Drying time depends on slice thickness and temperature
• Store in airtight jars or bags to extend shelf life
• Ideal for meal prep, camping, or snacks on the go

Can I use this with different equipment and meats?

Yes—this seasoning and cure set is equipment-flexible. Use a Nesco dehydrator for even drying or a conventional oven set to a low temperature with the door slightly ajar. The formula is suitable for lean cuts and ground meat; adjust moisture and drying time when using very lean or fatty cuts to get consistent results.

• Works in food dehydrators and conventional ovens
• Suitable for sliced or ground meat preparations
• Adjust water and drying time for texture control
• Compatible with lean beef, pork, turkey, and game
