Cooked Meat Jerky — Detailed Guide
Meat that keeps
Cooked Meat Jerky is a long-lasting meat in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. According to the ARK Wiki it restores 20.0 food, as much as 
Cooked Meat does. The in-game text: "Sates your hunger, and provides health while being digested. Lasts longer than cooked meat. Wild carnivores will eat it, but prefer raw meat."
Making jerky in a Preserving Bin
Jerky is made in a 
Preserving Bin; the wiki also names the 
Industrial Preserving Bin. One piece takes:
- 1 Cooked Meat
- 1
Oil (Oil (
Tusoteuthis) works as well) - 3
Sparkpowder
Each piece needs 2160 seconds, which is 36 minutes, and gives 1 XP. The bin also burns fuel: the wiki puts its use at 1 Sparkpowder per 30 minutes, which means at least 2 more Sparkpowder on top of the recipe to cover a 36-minute run. It adds that one bin can work on Cooked Meat Jerky and 
Prime Meat Jerky at the same time.
Storage and spoilage
A piece weighs 0.1 and stacks to 50, so a full stack weighs 5. The base spoil time is 172800 seconds, which is 48 hours or 2 days; kept in a Preserving Bin, it lasts 20 days according to the wiki.
Taming, kibble and loot
Wild carnivores can be tamed with jerky, but the wiki does not recommend it: it is costly to make and offers no taming advantage over other meat. In recipes, jerky goes into 
Regular Kibble in both games, and our ASE records add 
Simple Augmented Kibble. Loot is another source, with 130 crate types that can contain it, such as the Aberration Blue and Aberration Green crates. Our records place it on 9 maps, including The Island, Scorched Earth, Extinction and Lost Colony.
