Imitation Bacon Seasoning #2
-
I am getting ready to make a small batch of “imitation bacon” tonight using the Imitation Bacon Seasoning #2. It says on the package that it has cure in it. When I ordered the seasoning I also received a small package of cure. My question is do I need to add additional cure to the mix and if so at what ration? I have not seen anything about having to add additional cure.
Thanks

twilburn the small package of pink cure (sodium nitrite) is the cure you are supposed to use

Departing Contestant I just don’t want to add to much the actual seasoning package list .40% nitrite as an ingredient in the package.

twilburn The amount of cure is pre-measured for 25 lb of meat. If you are not making the entire 25-lb beat block at one time then you’re just going to have to guesstimate halving or quartering the cure to match the meat block
