Meat is a Food item dropped by numerous fleshy creatures(Pigs, Beefalo, Deerclops etc.) It can be used to make the Ham Bat, or as an ingredient in multiple Crock Pot Dishes. It also can be dried on a Drying Rack for 2 days to make Jerky. Its less-filling alternative is a morsel, which only provides 12.5 hunger.

Meat can be crafted by Wilson if he has the "Transmute Icky I" skill.

Jerky is a product of drying raw Meat on the Drying Rack for two game days. Jerky has a low rate of spoilage of 20 days, and restores 25 Hunger, 20 Health, and 15 Sanity. Jerky provides the same amount of Hunger, but more Health and Sanity than its raw or cooked counterparts. Jerky can also be used in a Crock Pot as 1 Meat Food Value.

Due to the fact that Jerky restores Health, Hunger and Sanity at the same time, this item can be useful for recovering from Woodie's Werebeaver transformation. The same effect can be achieved with Small Jerky, albeit, with weaker restorative properties than normal Jerky.

Usage

Meat value of at least 3

Tips

• Without Crock Pots, Jerky is the meat food with the highest Sanity restoration. This makes it great for restoring sanity for Wickerbottom, who can't sleep due to her insomnia, and Wigfrid, who can only eat meat-based food.
• It is best to convert all Meat into Jerky, as Meat in a Salt Box will last up to 24 days (12 Days on an Ice Box), whereas Jerky on an Ice Box lasts for 40 Days.

Trivia

• Jerky was added in A Little Rain Must Fall update.
