Beef jerky | Cookshack

SuzanMember

hi, not smoking my beef jerky...prefer to not cure. I have been readying the comments about making sure the meat hits 160 degrees. If I use my air fryer at 160 and the meat totally dries do I still need to check the internal temp of the meat?

New to this whole thing thanks!

If you're not smoking the jerky, I would use the house oven. As to checking the temp of the meat, yes you should to make sure it is up to a safe temperature.

Probably more info on the air fryer forums.

We use our air fryer for lots of stuff, but mainly small quantities. If I wanted to do a few pounds of jerky, it wouldn't work, plus no smoke flavor.

No need to check the internal temp. Better to use salt block for same inside and outside temp and much better taste than air fryer
