difference between meat cure and pickling salt
1983593
Pickling salt is a very pure form of salt. A meat cure contains sodium nitrate (like .05%), sodium nitrite(also .05%) and salt. The cure is a means of preserving meat and fish. I use Morton Tender Quick with salmon in place of the brine and smoke it for 5 to 8 hours. Refrigeration is still required.

I'm new to using the quick cure, so I'm not sure.....but I only use pickling salt when canning

They are both sodium chloride but some salt to cure with has a mixture of sodium nitrate .

It is Curing salt #1, it works great for making the Peameal Bacon that my family loves.

The only difference between the two that I can see is that one has a black ring on top and the other a white ring. Both have 5 adjustment settings. They are pricy but I've had mine for a couple of years now and they work as good a brand new. Other salt & pepper mills wear out within about six months. Very worth the cost. I will purchase these again.

Well, I think so but its very easy. Use one cure packet and one seasoning packet per one pound of meat. Mix it really well if your using ground meat and let it sit refrigerated over night and dehydrate it the next day. The jerky gun is self explanatory, it just screws together. I would hand wash it though, no dishwashers. ☺

way different. CAL is slaked lime, strongly alkaline and caustic, has to be handled carefully. Calcium chloride is much safer and easier to work with,(my pickles now come out nicely crisp). check a site called The Garden Web: pickling lime questions.

No, meat tenderizer is basically salt, sugar, corn starch and bromelain (which is the tenderizer) but Adolfs is the ONLY ONE we use because it doesn't make the meat too salty when used!

I purchased both and there was no discernible difference between the two. Also, if you are looking for a way to make a less expensive facial scrub, then don't bother because the crystals are so fine that you barely notice them. The particle size is nearly as fine as popcorn salt, which may be fine for the intended use, but not for my money saving experiment gone wrong.

Yes, although it's probably not legal to use in items for sale. Saltpeter is potassium nitrate while cure #1 is sodium nitrate. Potassium nitrates are still commonly used in Europe for curing meats, while the US uses sodium nitrates. Just make sure to check the labels and ratios carefully.

Hi yarddog:) I don't really understand the question... But I will tell you that the pickle is to be heated in a small crockpot and right after soldering you drop your silver inside the mixer. It removes all of the copper tat has risen to the top of the silver.. As for the copper turning black which is usually oxidation.. You can remove that by buffing or using super fine steel wool 00. I don't know if that answers your question? I am a novice:)

I think they're the same, only the wood used seems to be different. Both have the hard ceramic grinding mechanism which is corrosion resistant. The grind isn't perfectly even, but can be roughly adjusted from finer to larger by turning the dial on the bottom. We like the two colors because the kids like to handle them and it is easy to keep the salt and pepper apart. Very traditional mills otherwise.

I bought it for my daughter, so my direct knowledge is limited. She is into eating healthy and as part of that she incorporates fermented foods. The pickle pro is used as a device to let gases escape from a fermenting jar of food without letting any contaminants get into the jar. That's the extent of my knowledge.

I do not know the difference. I do know that I'm having a hard time keeping my carbon steel walk seasoned correctly. I have followed all the instructions but for some reason the coding of seasoning keeps flaking away and I'm forced to remove it all and start over. I have done it about four times now. I'm getting close to throwing in the towel and going down a different road.

Can't answer if this is number 1 or number 2 - I use this with kosher salt as part of my mix for curing the meat. Works great so far.

I don't have my pkg anymore, but I do know that as far as the sodium content, you are getting less because you don't have to use as much as regular table salt that has been bleached, and had all the beneficial nutrients removed. When you use regular processed table salt all you are getting is sodium chloride. Just salty flavor. No other benefit! I don't use anything else. Even some of the sea salt being sold at the grocery stores have been processed to the point where the trace minerals have been removed. Not much better than regular table salt!

Pickling Salt is a finer grind. Use this one because it desolves fast and compleletly. The regular salt is a course grind and sometimes does not desolve well in your brine. You end up with salt granuals in your brine and it is not as salty as it should be.

Its about half salt. For me that's not a bad thing. I use it as the only seasoning on fish, chicken, and pork.

Hi, I do not know california salt. This product contains 6.25% Sodium Nitrate and is colored pink so that it will not be mistaken for normal salt.This product is only to be used for curing meat. It MUST NOT be used as normal table salt!!!
