How long does that take to cure, and WHERE did you find Tender Quick around here? I haven't seen it anywhere.

Not exactly,

Saltpeter

(Potassium Nitrate)

(potassium nitrate, salt peter) [KNO3] White powder

Technical grade with 0.05% TAG anti-cake. Oxidizer.

Tnder Quick,


Morton Tender Quick mix contains salt, the main preserving agent; sugar, both sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite, curing agents that also contribute to development of color and flavor; and propylene glycol to keep the mixture uniform

Wow, My head hurts now! That's way to technical!!!!!

Pastrami looks great!

BTW - Growing up I could buy Salt Peter at the drugs store (told the pharmacist it was for my cat). I'd get sulfer from the hobby store and grind up kingsford charcoal. Guess I read all the wrong books in jr high.

It was fun though.

I agree, way tooooo technical! Great looking slab of beef, congrats!!!

Where's the beer?? Still trying figure out how to get my beermeister on the trailer without the house frau seeing it gone. Shoulda bought that 6-line one I saw on ebay a month or so ago, I could have several flavors!

Not to shabby, Don't mean to bragg but I did like it. Might go a little lighter on the salt I put on it. And a little heavier with the corriander. But then again I am never satisfied, Always changing something. Very Happy
