Great stuff!! Appreciate you for sharing and educating. I prefer the dry cure myself but have you ever tried a wet brine? What are the pro and con of each? Thank you and stay safe!- Tom “Outdoors and Country Living”.
Just for a little clarification, nitrite converts to nitrate. Nitrites are harmful in large quantities to humans fish etc. Nitrates in low quantities are perfectly safe. Hope this helps.
i was useing powder #1 but i could not find it but i did get pure sodium nitrate. do you know how much i should use for doing my own bacon i cure it in 4 pounds chunks
Interesting piece but your failure to actually name your source from Texas shreds your credibility unfortunately. I would prefer you are correct about nitrates but your argument is not professional.
