Good day everybody, I have made a small error and wondering if anyone has ideas on what and if I need to do. I have made multiple batches of bellie bacon and some Canadian bacon in the past using Tender Quick with awesome results.
What I did wrong this time was weigh the tenderquick on digital scale as opposed to using a tablespoon measure. I #@#%$% up on my ounce to grams conversion somehow and doubled the tenderquick. I used 1 oz. per pound as opposed to 1/2 oz. per#. I used 1 oz. of brown sugar as well per pound.
I should have guessed something was wrong last night when I rubbed them by the amount I had. I can be such an idiot at times.
Anyhow I have 12lbs of loin in cure know and wondering what I should do. I did some math and figured out my part per million counts if all the cure is absorbed. Assuming 1/2 % nitrite and 1/2% nitrate in the Tenderquick I come up with just over 300 PPM nitite and the same for nitrate. I believ this is well under toxic levels but over regulated levels.
Will rinsing know help or should I put in a pickle methos instead or just leave and have very salty CB.
Thanks Randy
