    First Cure .... Did I use too much PINK SALT?

    Thanks everyone, and yes Dave your bacon looks to be perfection. However, it's a bit more than I am willing to invest...let's see maybe one day I'll follow your footsteps.  I've been dry curing and will try both to see if I like immersion better. If anyone has any opinions I'd love to hear this...

    First Cure .... Did I use too much PINK SALT?

    One last thing @DaveOmak  you said to leave the cure for 12-14 days. Every recipe I've seen for bacon says 7 days in the fridge....Do you have a recipe you;d like to share? thanks!

    First Cure .... Did I use too much PINK SALT?

    Hello all! So it's been 7 days in the cure, 1 day drying in the fridge and just threw it on the weber smoking at 200•degrees. After reading about pink salt #1 here in the forums I'm worried I used too much. Is it safe to eat? 1.58 lbs pork belly skinned to 3/4 teaspoon pink salt #1. I read...
