    Whole Muscle (Venison) Jerky recipe

    If it were me I would cut back on the soy if using Tender-quick. It is hard to control the salt content when using T-Q. I would start at 1/2 cup of soy and use the recommended amount of T-Q.

    Converting a recipe from tender quick to #1 cure,

    Thanks so much Digging Dog, Yes i use a postage scale. It will be a while before I can do a test batch but I will post the results with Q-veiw. He is a little nerved up about the change and said that we would have to do a test batch using my meat. LOL, I told him no problem that I was very...

    Ok, back with the amount of TQ that he uses, and sorry for being a day late. He uses 6 1/4 tsp per 7 1/2 lb's of meat. No extra salt is added just what is in the TQ. Thanks in advance

    Converting a recipe from tender quick to #1 cure,

    Agreed, Just seems like there would be some kind of break down chart with that kind of info. For example, 1 tbl spoon of TQ has x amount of nitrate, x amount of nitrite, x amount of salt, and x amount of sugar.

    Converting a recipe from tender quick to #1 cure,

    A friend has a great landjager recipe that we would like to switch over to using #1 cure. The big question would be, how much more salt would we need to add to replace the salt content of T-Q ? Its almost one of those things where " if its not broke dont fix it". Then again isnt that how we...

    Simple Jerky recipe (AMAZING)
