Newbie question leftover sure cure
-
So I have been pitching my sure cure after use. What I mean is the left over in the bag as I have been making 5 lbs batches. I read somewhere that you can save what is left…but it didn’t sound right…my question is have I been throwing it away unnecessarily? Or am I being overly paranoid of bacteria?
Benjamminn salt wont get bacteria in it. You can save it. I usually fold bag over, tape it and vacuum seal in a bag

Benjamminn but i must add you need a very good fine measurement scale to get the correct amount of cure for your meat block. Im assuming you have one since you are doing 5 lb batches.

Yep, sure cure is one of the least perishable ingredients you can leave on your shelf.

I just keep it is a 1/2 pint jar with a good air tight lid. Works great for me.

twilliams you guys have to go metric. You need 156 PPM nitrite to meet the health standard. In the Great White North it’s easy to do the math and weigh the cure in milligrams for the weight of your meat mass which is in kilograms. Get a grandkid to help you do the math

Good question, I have also wondered about left over seasoning as I always do small batches. How do you guys store it?
GODUCKS vacuum seal it and wait until I need it again.

Benjamminn I don’t know of any, but I think that would be an excellent idea. About time that the blue team can prove it dominance.
For the most part, the orange team is color blind.

Benjamminn No Benjamminn
Early on Waltons Hosts Austin and Jonathan picked orange and blue for a little competition to see who could get the most to join “their side”
Some of us requested an unaffiliated Grey team to maintain our independence and still belong to a “team”
Other than funning around It does not affect youUNLESS YOU DON’T PIC GREY

Benjamminn if there was a competition between Team-Blue and Team-Orange Team Blue would dominate any conceivable event. With the superior wisdom and leadership of Jonathon Team Blue will always lead the way!
