Works well on beef to, Try it on a rump cap. Shaved and tossed through a salad or on a pizza in Lou of anchovy. Salty as hell but if shaved thin and used as the salt component, It's a mirical worker. if you have some Cure No 2 , It will last for years.

Noooooo! Rabika why couldn't you put this up 2 weeks ago. :lol:
Looks so good it's on the to do list.
Thanks

Smokey with the above quantities what amount of cure #2?
I have Misty Gullet cure #2. 6% nitrite, 4% nitrate.
I am wanting to use cure for safety but don't the ratio's.

Dumb question time..

if your hanging the meat in the fridge, is this a dedicated fridge for this stuff?

any concerns about humidity ?

ive done it both a dedicated fridge and just my every day fridge and it worked fine both ways. humidity doesnt seem to be a problem for this one.

how much cure #2 would you suggest putting??

I'm away from home ATM but at 12% it's 1.25 Gm per kilo of meat.
Your mix of 10% total would be only a little more.
