iodized salt and jerky

It does not disolve as well as kosher, canning, or sea salt. Also it may change taste when mixed with other spices. I mostly use tender quick in my jerky brine.

Does "Tender Quick" work for curing, too?

Tenderquick is what i use in my jerky brine. And yes it does cure also.

Avoiding iodized salt has nothing to do with jerky, I don't use it for anything.

Not everyone can taste it. I do.

I just use regular salt without iodine added. I buy a 5lb bag at sam's for about 2 bucks and I keep it try, last a long time.

Also, you can NOT freely substitute the other salts for each kind. The size of the grains makes a huge difference.

A cup of table is not equal to a cup of kosher or a cup of canning salt. They have different properties.
