How much cure to use?

[chiroken]

OK, thanks. I'm going with the 1/4/lb or 1tsp/5lbs. This will be added to the marinade (if that's the right term) of soy sauce and various spices.

Is this for the whole muslce jerky you posted about in another thread? If this is the case then using it the way you plan is alright.

When you get to the stage of wet cure brining, and you intend to actually cure meat; then you would need to use the ratio that is called for brine curing for the amount of liquid that is being used.
