Strolghino...(Fortune Teller Salami)
Very informative, thanks Swamp. I’ll do some more searching because I’m curious whether there are negative health implications of a 14-21 day cure using cure 2. Specifically if there is a high concentration of nitrosamines. All this stems from curing my first batch of salami using 32-35mm hog... -

If nitrates are used instead of nitrites, as you are suggesting, do you think there’d be any drawbacks? Do you think there’d be too much nitrate present in the final product and if so, do you think that’s dangerous to consume? Thanks! -

Pressure Treated Lumber in Curing Chamber?
Yeah, my intent is to get a more convenient and greater area to hang from. The stock shelves, even with the glass removed are not very user friendly. I hadn’t considered coated closet racks/shelves as an option. I think I’ll try that. Thanks everyone! -

Pressure Treated Lumber in Curing Chamber?

Improper use of Instacure #2

Improper use of Instacure #2
You’re correct, a couple are touching, I’ll space them out. Are you suggesting I turn the humidifier spout so that it’s blowing into the center of the chamber. I wasn’t sure how to set that up. The fan is actually facing downward, it’s a small computer fan. I’ll have to check the cfp. Lastly... -

Improper use of Instacure #2
Thank you all who answered and thanks for sharing your processes. I added cure2, sprinkled dry onto the meat then hand mixed. There was a bit of a learning curve stuffing my hog casings so here’s to a little more consistency in future batches. -

Improper use of Instacure #2
I want to get some thoughts on my improper use of instacure#2. I accidentally omitted adding it to water before mixing into my meat. I do feel like I mixed the meat pretty thoroughly by hand. Should I be concerned? If it matters, here are more details: Dry cured salami 4lbs pork butt 1lb...
