Nothing wrong with dried as long as they haven’t been in the cupboard for 3 years. Plus fresh volumes are usually 2-3x’s more over dried but if you got it, use it.

Add cure#1 in all my sausage. Retards pathogen growth and gives me the ability to decide how i am going to cook or smoke my frozen vacpaked links in the future. Thinking about your great post on hotdogs, I first pasteurize mine with SV @ 140* for 2.5hrs after vacpac. Now pasteurized, and safe, you can smoke, or just toss on the grill like commercial dogs. Important point… If you pasteurize, and don’t cook that day, ice bath to bring the temp down for freezing / long storage. SV has rules not the same as BBQ. this link is great with videos. SV the wrong way can be lethal. Scroll down at the site page, about 40pgs of info . Great SV info… Open for questions or chat any time. Joe, Cheers

processhead yeah I had asked him about a certain seasoning once, and every seasoning is going to be different according to him because each one has a different salt content, some having more sugar than salt so I was curious if anyone had tried any certain fresh seasonings yet in this manner…either a 4/5 meat block or any other variation that worked well

I can see where the adjustment would vary depending on the seasoning and the difference in salt amounts. There is probably some minimum salt-to- meat ratio that needs to be met for a cured product.

Jonathon suggested reducing the meat block weight from the usual amount by 4/5 while using the normal seasoning amount and adding cure to reach the correct salt level for a cured product.
