I appreciate the responses. All of them are important, and informative.
This, I think, is an important discussion. If it’s over anyone’s head for comprehension then they should stand on the sidelines. If we can ask the right questions and have civil discussion then we can further understand modern innovation. I’m genuinely curious about this new product, the price not withstanding. I’m intrigued as to the science behind the ecocure. If you have input toward that it’s certainly welcome. otherwise what exactly makes ecocure safe as a practice? The fact that 2 guys Eric is promoting it, which he is payed to do, or is it that The Sausage Maker is selling it? What does the USDA say about it, if anything? This is not so much about safe curing practice as it is about what makes these new curing compounds better or more worthwhile than traditional cure #1 and #2? How are these “safer” or how are they a better alternative? I’m genuinely asking for scientific evidence not emotional opinions. What are the facts? I don’t know, and that’s why I’m asking the forum.So gonna think out loud first, then ask a question.
So this thread is mainly in reaction to the new ecocure, I believe @daveomak posted? Didn't pay alot of attention...mainly price based.
My question...what or how is this discussion gonna help teach our new members about safe curing practices? It's over the heads as far as newbies are concerned.
