Question on curing/brining

[zalbar]

Just got done with a small ham test with the Dig's calculator. Came out fine, not overboard on the salt, was actually a little undersalted for my tastes, but that's my tastebuds and I can always shake some on. Props to you Dig, it works extremely well. You need to make that thing into an android app.

The question I have is when using the calculator, how does one account for meat with bone(s) in it?

You can guesstimate the percentage of bone and then subtract that from the total meat weight.
If it's a cut without much bone, it's usually just ignored.
Do you have a particular cut of meat/bone in mind?

Eh, it's not a huge piece of bone, just a cut of picnic shoulder, and not even the whole shoulder at that.
