Seasoning question

[DJS303]

I made a seasoning mix for hotdogs adding my curing salt and Sodium Erythorbate with the mix a couple weeks ago. Something urgent came up and I was unable to make my hotdogs. I packaged my seasoning in a ziplock bag and stored at room temperature. My question is since I mixed the curing salt and Sodium Erythorbate together, is the seasoning ok to still use or should I toss and make a new batch? Thanks in advance for any help on this.

DJS303 depends on what was in your mix. My best guess is that you’ll be fine but unless it’s precious to you better safe than sorry

Jonathon The mix has salt, paprika, onion and garlic powder, white pepper, ground mustard, curing salt and Sodium Erythorbate. I was just concerned that the Sodium Erythorbate may have caused reaction and reduced the affect or inactivated the curing salt.

DJS303 my guess would be it is alright, cause there was no moisture introduced, but I’m not a chemist.

pepperettes Thanks for the reply. I decided to use it and it appears that the cure worked as I cooked a small patty and it turned nice and red.
