Some suggestions for those of you who cannot find TQ. Try looking in places other than grocery stores. Butcher supply shops and sporting goods stores are great places to search.

Where to buy Morton's Tender Quick and size
I have made uncured jerky before and honestly, it is not worth the effort or worry. I feel that you get a superior product by using a cure as well as a safer product. Without a cure you really have to watch what you are doing and take care to hit the right temps for the right amount of time. ...- bilder

Thaw, Smoke & Refreeze
I thaw, smoke and then freeze again all the time. I average over 200 pounds of smoked or canned salmon a year and while fresh is best, it is not always possible to process all that fish at one time. If you really want a treat, try canning smoked salmon. The canning process intensifies the... -
Quick Cure Question
Instacure is the same thing as Cure #1, Prague Powder #1, Pink Salt, LEM Cure, and TCM. Great stuff. Cheap and a little goes a long way. -

So every butcher shop in the world who uses their own cure mix is flirting with danger? Only those who use TQ or put glycol into their mix are safe to buy from? That is basically what you are saying. By shelf stable I meant the glycol keeps the contents from settling out over time. Cure #1...- bilder

Quick Cure Question
If it is straight Cure #1 you will want to use a quarter teaspoon per pound of meat or a full teaspoon per 5 pounds of meat. If it has been mixed with other stuff then you should go by the directions given by your butcher. -

Pork belly costs?
Up here there is only one place I have found that sells belly and they charge $3.29 a pound for frozen. I will stick with buckboard bacon. Only $1.48 a pound for pork shoulder at Wal-Mart. Costco has better looking cuts at $1.65 a pound.- bilder

Cure #1- Quarter teaspoon per pound of meat. TQ - One Tablespoon per pound of meat. There are three teaspoons in a tablespoon. That means TQ is measured at 12 times the amount of straight Cure #1. 0.05% x 12= 6% So, TQ and the recipe given above are 0.25% off of each other in Nitrite...- bilder

Which is the ratio you get from the above recipe. Maybe plus or minus a fraction of a percent, depending on how well you measure. Would take a lot more than that to hurt you. Our forefathers cured some pretty tasty meats without digital scales or Federal Regulations. Use common sense and you...- bilder

The above recipe comes from what many consider the bible of meat curing......Charcuterie. Not sure what is scary about that, but to each his own I guess. Of course you can use something other than TQ to cure meats. Saying you can only use TQ to cure meat is like saying you can only use Sweet...- bilder

If you cannot find TQ in your area, you can always make a substitute using pink salt, which is easy to buy online and a little goes a long way. You can also check with your local butcher supply shop and they will usually carry it. Here is one of the cures I use. I got this from another source...- bilder

TQ is REALLY hard to find in PDX!
I never did say you could use TQ and pink salt as if they were the same. I said that if you cannot find TQ, that you probably should be able to find pink salt and then look for a recipe to make a clone of TQ. Four ounces of pink salt can cure 100 pounds of meat. It would take more than a ...- bilder
