Thank you so much, I really appreciate you sharing all your knowledge.
One more question then, please :)
If I use cure #1, is the amount still 0.25 % by weight (and then 3 % salt? )
Now I'm confused again too :).
So I can eat these ribs raw now (after five days curing in curing salt2) , but not sausage or chicken - what is the rule then re what one can and can't eat raw after five days curing? And does this just refer to the bacteria, or also to the nitrites/nitrates...
Thank you. So if I cook it, after a five day cure, with curing salt #2, it will also be fine? I had meant to hang and dry it, but my conditions are not actually allowing that, and I don't want to waste the meat.
But in terms of nitrites degrading over time and thus reducing in levels, what would the nitrite issue be after 5 days of curing (and then not drying and reducing further?) And does the drying to 35 % of weight kill the remaining clostridium after curing? (I got the book, thanks, will read it...
Hi all
Total newbie here..
If I dry cured (equilibrium method) a piece of lamb riblett with 3 % sea salt, and 0.25 % curing salt 2 for five days, would this be safe to eat then (the nitrite/nitrate aspect?) . Or does it have to be dried out further for it to be non-toxic re the salts.
Thanks much.
