Nonstick Coatings For Jerky Racks - What Do You Use?

[processhead]

Jerky has a way of sticking pretty tightly to my jerky racks after smoking.
I put a light coat of vegetable oil on the racks and it really helps a lot when it’s time to pull the slices off.

What is everyone else using for a non-stick coating on racks and equipment?

processhead maybe too time consuming for large batches but I flip after around 2 hours
The stickiness hasn’t developed on the under side and the top is dry enough that it doesn’t stick

processhead This is what we put on our screen when we make jerky https://waltons.com/poly-jerky-sheet-coarse/ It doesn’t come in smaller amount though so might not be a good option. I’ve tried coating of white oil and it seemed to cook into the jerky a little. I’ve never tried them but this might work https://waltons.com/grilling-mesh-sheet-non-stick/

A friend and I made venison sticks using Willie’s. I smoked mine on a trager they came out perfect. He did his on a electric smoker . You can pull the calagon casing right off the sticks. Meat shrunk casings didn’t. Anyone know what the problem was

I’m using screens similar to what Jon posted.

processhead mine doesn’t seem to stick, I’m using cookie cookie racks that are really old and black that my mom had. It hardly ever sticks.

processhead I always spray with nonstick spray. I put them in a motar mixing tub and spray them, same with my smoker racks.

My setup. Had to cut to fit but clean up is a breeze.

processhead We spray ours with oil. Depending on the meat, the oil type, but usually Canola, Olive, Cocoa nut, or Soy. Just a light spray does it. Then we try to remember to flip. Usually we do a pre-smoke for a few hours before moving to the dehydrator, so that suffices as the flip. Some things we have to remember to flip after an hour or so, the jerky can usually go three hours it seems. No sticking at all using that method.

processhead I spray with pam and it does a good job, probably not as good as the sheets, but good enough.

[YooperDog]

processhead i do the same,. I try to flip them, but life just seems to get in the way. The oil frees me up from the flipping task

[natek]

Spray with Pam and do a flip part way through the smoke and sticking is not an issue

I use the grilling mesh sheets similar to the one Jonathan has at the bottom but without the border and they work great!!! You have to watch as jerky can slide right off
