Claims20
A system for handling and preparing jerky, the system comprising:
- a rack member operable to support a meat product and to allow at least a portion of the meat product to be exposed to an external environment;
- a tank comprising an internal volume operable to receive the rack member;
- the tank comprising a sump in a lower portion of the tank, the sump operable to receive fluid that is gravity-fed to the sump;
- the sump comprising at least one outlet;
- a conduit in fluid communication with the outlet;
- a pump in communication with the conduit, wherein the pump is operable to provide a force to convey a fluid from the settling portion;
- and
- a dispensation device operable to dispense a fluid to the rack member.
