Hello all. I have been lurking around here for quite some time and decided to finally register as I have a few questions. I have been smoking food for 10+ years and have just started getting into making jerky on my smoker. I made whole muscle jerky last weekend using bits and pieces of recipes that were on this site. It turned out great...a little salty but I did use MTQ instead of cure #1. Anyway, a few questions. When I use cure #1, which is on its way, I am assuming you need to let it work overnight in the fridge with the rest of the spices etc? Or can I just mix it and go right away?
Welcome to the forum.
The MTQ has salt and you should have cut back on any salt that was in the recipe. Use the cure 1 at 1 level tsp per every 5 lbs of meat. Not true about letting it rest overnight, you can mix and go right away. (your choice though)
Hope this helps some.
