Is this salt that you would use to brine beef brisket to make corned beef?

Answer

Hello Gerald,Quick Cure #1 is what is used for Corned Beef in most recipes, not Cure #2.

Am I correct in thinking I can use #2 for dry rubbing a country ham cutting down to joints and packing to remove all moisture and fully drying then smoking and hanging at room temp until ready to use? Im trying to learn curing before days of refrigeration? TIA

Answer

The #2 Cure is the appropriate cure for use in dry curing however it is not used alone but as part of a larger recipe. The #2 is used at the rate of 4 ounces per 100 pounds of meat. Please do your research and understand the proper use of cures before using this product as it can be dangerous to your health.

What is the difference between the quick cure and the pink curing salt? I'm trying to make bacon and summer sausage, which one should I be using?

Answer

Quick cure is a basic 6.25% sodium nitrite cure. It is generally used to produce fully cooked, ready to eat products such as smoked sausages, bologna, franks, summer sausage and the like. It is also used for curing bacon. Finished products are usually perishable and require refrigeration. The Pink Curing Salt #2 is a blend of sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate and is used in dry curing processes. These products are not fully cooked but are air dried for periods of time and when finished may be eaten without further cooking. Examples include fermented sausages and country hams.
