CURING SAUCISSON WITH PRAGUE POWDER #1

[Jacob1986]

Hello - attempting my first cure.

I live in Myanmar and can't get what I need. I just put on some saucisson to cure. I had to use PRAGUE POWDER #1 because I couldn't get #2. I hope to eat it as a cold cut when it's ready. Will it be OK to eat do you think?

I also intend to measure the PH level. I know I am aiming for 5.3. when should I check for this?

Any guidance gratefully appreciated.
