Is too much sodium erythrobate dangerous?
So 3.2gm/kg, along with the 2.4gm/kg of cure #1, is correct, or is that combined? That's the amount I used and maybe it was correct after all. I haven't used sodium erythrobate before so I'm still learning here. I did cook the bacon thoroughly with no problems and it was very good. Thanks for... -
Is too much sodium erythrobate dangerous?
I used the cure from this video. After one week in the fridge I gave it 24 hours of sous vide followed by 4 hours in the smoker with apple wood. The cure penetration was 100% and the test slices were very good. I have the sodium erythrobate so I'll probably continue to use it...just a bit less. -
Is too much sodium erythrobate dangerous?
I dry cured a slab of belly using sodium erythrobate as an curing accelerator along with sodium nitrite. I had never used this before and the recipe called for 3.2g/kg which I found out later is likely too much. From what I've been researcing it was probably supposed to be .32g per kg of pork. I... -
Hide yo' wives, hide yo' daughters...IT'S ANOTHER FIRST BACON THREAD!!!!!!
Sorry for the delay, been busy with work and the holidays and such.

Hide yo' wives, hide yo' daughters...IT'S ANOTHER FIRST BACON THREAD!!!!!!
Another must-have. That's another great reason for making food rather than just buying it...NEW TOYS!!! Actually, I've been wanting a decent slicer for some time now. I considered finding usable commercial unit through Craigslist and restaurant supply stores, but I couldn't justify the cost...- davidbo

Hide yo' wives, hide yo' daughters...IT'S ANOTHER FIRST BACON THREAD!!!!!!
Hello folks! It's been almost an hour since anyone has posted a first BB thread, so I thought I'd pick up the slack. I consider myself pretty capable when it comes to my smoker, I've already prepared many examples of beef, pork and poultry, including a signature 5 rib standing beef roast (see...- davidbo
