When curing meat the goal is to get the cure into the center of the meat. Using salt is the only thing necessary for curing whole muscle groups but I like using Prague powder for added safety margin and flavor.
I use a salt equilibrium technique which means I use a % of salt to neat ratio. I use 2.5 % – 3% and sometimes more for flavor.
I.E. 3 pounds (lb) = 1,360.77711 grams (g) X 3% = 41 grams of salt rounded up or 41 grams (g) = 1.464285714 ounces (oz)
What percentage did you use?
