Title: Cure?
Post by: Helheim on March 08, 2010, 07:38:41 AM
Is the cure that comes with HM cure #1? In some of the recipes on here for ground meat jerky it calls for 1 teaspoon / 5lbs but in the instructions for the HM stuff it's 2.5 Tablespoons. If I'm using the cure form HM in other recipes just want to know how much to use.

Thanks.

I think there is cure#1 in the HM mix, but there is other stuff too.

I would use the 2.5 Tabelspoons.

Cure also has salt and sugar.  As described here:

Thanks for the info, guess I should just get some cure #1 instead.

I feel you have more control over what you put in the cure mix if you add cure#1 at the designated amount per pound of meat and you can vary the other constituents of the cure mixture to suit your taste.  It gives more room for experimenting.
