Great post Disco! 

I have a question:

do you have an opinion between Morton's tenderquick and instacure #2? Can I use equal amounts?

my previous attempts of Montreal Smoked meat have finished too salty...

TIA

James

NO! You can NOT use Instacure #2 to replace tenderquick. they have different amount of nitrates and nitrites. Tenderquick has sodium nitrites and nitrates and salt. Instacure #2 only has nitrates and the nitrites are critical for shorter term cures.

You could make this with Instacure #1. Use 3 grams of Instacure #1 per kilogram and 36 grams of kosher salt. If you prefer pounds and ounces, use 0.048 ounces by weight of Instacure #1 per pound and 0.58 ounces of kosher salt.

Instacure #2 is used for long curing processes like salami.

Get back to me if you have any questions.

I'd like to give Disco a Big Hearty "THANK YOU!!!" for this post. this was my 5th attempt for making Montreal Smoked Meat and this was, by-far-and -away, the best to date. I followed Disco's recipe to the T and it came out spectacular! I know great Montreal smoked meat. I lived in Montreal until 13 Y.O and one of my fondest memories was going to Schwartz's for a couple of smoked meat sandwiches with my father. I'm back in Montreal once a year visiting family and I always stop by Schwartz's...

Smoked meat and eggs? Brilliant! I never thought of it.

Thanks for your kind words. It took a few times to get to this recipe and I am glad you like it. I must say, the finished product looks great!

Sadly I am out and I am having a difficulty finding a brisket. Sigh.

Next time you go to Schwartzs, think of the old fat guy in the mountains while eating that wonderful meat.

Thanks again for your generosity.

Disco.

As far as I'm concerned, you're already immortalized in the smoked meat hall of fame! Not only will I remember you at my subsequent trips to Schwartz's, but also every other time I follow your recipe. which will be again in a couple of weeks!

p.s. Happy Canada Day!

I've been coming back to this post every day this week! I have a brisket thawing in the fridge, tender quick is arriving today and the spices are set out.

Can't wait for day 12.

Thank you for all the step-by-step guides!

Thanks so much!
