    cure issues.

    (This is still allans wife)--OK so dry curing and brining (which I'm guessing brining is what he did since he added water) require different amount of cure, so I understand the concern for safe handling and following instruction. So, out of curiousity I'm just wondering, in the process of dry...

    OK so if I have .85% sodium nitrite with 1 tablespoon of this cure I have .85 grams of sodium nitrite in the batch. So is that too much for 2 lbs???

    I've used just salt in the past with no problems. And this time I wanted to try some cure. I end up eating it in a week anyway. So can I still dry it and eat it and not get sick. Or is it gone bad now???

    OK I understand for next time. Now do you guys think this beef is safe anymore or is it no good just because its been sitting in water and spices over night.

    Can't find this fancy cure #1. That answers my question. I didn't know if dry cure is the same as wet cure. And its not. I need more cure. I should have just used salt
