How much County Brown Cure

[prkranger2]

I got my country brown cure in a couple weeks aqo and am ready to use it. I have 2 small pork bellies that weigh 2lbs each. How much county brown cure would those of you that use it recommend? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm thinking there should be directions on the package.. ALWAYS follow the manufactures directions when using cures...

I've never heard of it but it says it comes with complete instructions so I would just follow them.

I see this is your first post here, when you get a minute would you do us a favor and go to Roll Call and introduce yourself so we can get to know you and give you a proper welcome, Thanks!

Country Brown Cure from where?

Are you using it as a dry cure or in a brine?

There are different cures called that from different makers and they're not used the same.

As JckDanls 07 said, ALWAYS follow the manufacturer's directions.

I've used it for all of my belly bacon. The first time though, I emailed Sausage Maker for clearer instructions and basically, rub the meat down generously with the cure mix and get it into every nook and cranny. Seal it up in a zip-lock or vacuum bag and put it in the fridge for 7 days, flipping it every day.

You might want to wear gloves when applying the cure.
