    TQ dangerous for macon bacon?

    TQ does have #2 cure in it. Bacon cannot legally be made commercially with #2 cure in it. That being said, i just made some with TQ myself............. Dave

    Beef Tenderloin: It's whats for Dinner

    No need for "Low and Slow" with this cut, it is fork tender already. I cooked it at 425F for I think about 1.5 hours, just go by temp. I just did the "butt" end, cut 6 fillets from the middle and will probably slice the tail end for pepper steak. Dave

    I saw that on man vs food last night, thinnly sliced, aged provalone and broccoli raab. Any thing sauteed in oil,garlic, and crushed red pepper has to be good! Dave

    Went Electric

    Internal temp to 152 and it's done! Cold water shower or bath for 5-10 minutes, then hang to dry & bloom for a few hours then into the cooler for an overnight stay....... Dave

    Jerky help with the whole temp issue

    The 4 hour "guideline" is for uncured meat, you do not want uncured meat to be in the temp. range for over 4 hours. Personally, I wouldn't go over 2.5-3. I've done summer sausage up to 18 hours, but it has been cured. Dave

    Jerky help with the whole temp issue

    Since you say your rub has a cure in it you should be fine, make sure the ingredient label lists sodium nitrite. 140f is a good temp to dry your jerky, once dried you can store it un-refrigerated. Dave
