Here is a link to some recipes using TQCan Morton tender quick salt be used to cure thick cut jerky, or do I need the pink cure #1 salt.
Also can tender quick be used as a meat curing salt & which meats.
Sorry for the newbie type question.
Thanks.
Lots of other good resources on that link as well. If you need a picture of the instructions and ingredients let me know.Thanks for that link to the .pdf. I had never heard of the stuff until seeing this thread this morning. I've used curing salt and have it, but cant even remember what I have it for now!
The Morton's site is nearly useless. Couldn't even find a view of the other sides of the package which probably tell you something.
It's hard to navigate that's for sure . I've been there enough , that I know where to look .The Morton's site is nearly useless.
Thanks for the link. There is a ton of good information there.
I second this! Good people to work with! And a site sponsor. Hard part is deciding what mixes you want to try.All good stuff but might be too much for a newbie. My suggestion is to grab some jerky mixes from Owens. They include good instructions and cure. Not often I say this, but the stuff FANTASTIC. Pro level better than store jerky. No other way if you ask me.

None of that matters .................Check Morton’s web site.
USDA says no Nitrates in bacon.
TQ contains Nitrates.
I won’t be promoting Owen’s. If they are a site sponsor and I’m not sure if they are, when I reached out for a small prize donation I was hit with a big fat NO! Sponsor……..yeah rightI second this! Good people to work with! And a site sponsor. Hard part is deciding what mixes you want to try.

I've done more than a few orders with Owens . Great people , and have always gone above and beyond their end of the deal . I always got something free with every order . One time I had an issue that was my fault . Sent an email and 5 minutes later my phone was ringing . It was Tonya and she took care of the problem I caused without any questions .I won’t be promoting Owen’s.
I’m not discounting that they are good people or implying that they don’t have a good product. Just pointing out that they are terrible “site sponsors”. Although I’m pretty sure they aren’t sponsors seeing as they generally aren’t allowed to advertise here. Or at least they weren’t. I didn’t ask them for a million bucks, just a couple seasoning packets lolI've done more than a few orders with Owens . Great people , and have always gone above and beyond their end of the deal .

Another time they were out of something I ordered . Instead of a refund I ordered another seasoning . They sent me the seasoning , and a 12" smoke tube with 5 lbs. of pellets .
I guess my comment was more of a surprised to hear that thing . I certainly respect your input .I’m not discounting that they are good people or implying that they don’t have a good product.

I even used it as an opportunity to promote their product by hyping them up during a throw down. They are on multiple bbq forums and said they didn’t do giveaway’s with any of them. I’m not mad I just don’t want to see them referred to as a site sponsor if they aren’t willing to support the site. Everyone seems to like their seasonings and that’s great. Finding prize sponsors for those throw downs is a very hard taskI guess my comment was more of a surprised to hear that thing . I certainly respect your input .
Can't respond to that, as I've never had that happen to me. But can say when I placed an order they were temporarily out of one thing... was gonna delay my order a couple days, maybe a few, no biggie. When I received my order there was a pack of sausage seasoning in it for 25 lbs of sausage for free. Wasn't expecting that by any means, plus it's one of our favorite mixes, and was the first ones gone.I won’t be promoting Owen’s.

I hear ya Jake.I won’t be promoting Owen’s. If they are a site sponsor and I’m not sure if they are, when I reached out for a small prize donation I was hit with a big fat NO! Sponsor……..yeah right
You are not a noob then. Mixes/kits are not bad thing. I think most are better than DIY but never got into kits so don't know. Was gifted some jerky made with Owens for our Christmas ExchangeBut been making jerky & snack sticks from kits for quite some time. Definitely came here to learn what I can from the professionals.
So is this a fact? Or how do you know? Never heard this before.Wow this thread took a 180° twist.
I hear ya Jake.
Most of Owen's products are from PS Seasonings if you want to order direct.
I don't use any commercial seasoning due to the salt
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Tender quick is a good product . I have a couple bags and use it for certain things .
I have never had it be to salty when used correctly .
1 tablespoon per pound for WHOLE muscle meat .
1 1/2 tsp per pound for GROUND meat .
Follow the Morton direction when using Tender quick .
Saying cure 1 is easier is an opinion , not a fact . Make sure you decide for yourself .
Like Ray suggested , the search feature should take you to recipes and uses for Tender quick .
