Hello everyone, this is my first post. I am very experienced at smoking fish and pork butt, ribs, brisket, etc. however, I decided I wanted to make my own bacon. I went onto one of the online bacon calculators and because my slab was just a little bit under 3 kg in size the calculator gave me, a cure #1 recommended weight of about 8 g. Anyway, on my cure number one package at the nutritional information section it has one teaspoon is 2 g which I figured I could hang my hat on so I added nearly 4 teaspoons to a 6.5 pound pork belly . I was going to smoke it today, but started reading about cures and realize that mass of pork I would normally only need a little over a teaspoon of the cure. So I whipped out my electronic powder scale as I am a reloader and weighed what is in 1 teaspoon of the cure number one and it was almost 6 g so I way over cured it, I guess I’ll have to toss it and start again, but I’m very frustrated with the packaging on the cure
