With all the newer people starting to use cure I had someone PM me with some concerns last night. Seems he saw someone post questionable methods and thought maybe we needed to post a warning so
There are different kinds of cure such as Prague #1 and Prague #2 which are the same as Instacure #1 and Instacure #2. Now there are differences between the #1 cures and the #2 cures and they are not interchangeable.
There is a line of Morton's cures such as Tender Quick, Sugar Cure, and Smoke Flavored Sugar Cure.
There is also High Mountain's cure and several others that I've seen. Please be advised all cures are not interchangeable as far as rates of use and times and even the cure type in some cases. Please know what you are using and the proper amount to use this stuff is safe when used correctly but can be very dangerous when used improperly if you have a question find out the answer before you use it. Its great to see so many people getting into making bacon and sausage but lets do it safely
