can't find tq in w/w or publix. not w/salt or spices. help.

What are you using TQ for, maybe we have an alternative.

It's in my Walmart, in the spice section, right next to the salt in a blue bag.

Got to Joe's Ingredient Store, he's a frequent contributor on the forum. He sells it:

Tenderquick at Joe's place

was going to use it on jerky in place of instacure so it does not have be refrigerated.
i have used instacure when makeing sausage from recipes from GREAT SAUSAGE RECIPES AND MEAT CURING by rytek kutas. insta cure#1 replaces praque#1. will try sam's next. thanks S.O. 4 all your help.

I doubt Sam's,but usually at SuperWally.

Sometimes places with canning supplies,like Ace Hardware.

I agree with Smokin'that the quick and easy would be Joe Ames.

thanks tom,will try ace & etc.

I've looked, but I can't find my chart for substitution TQ for other stuff. It's here somewhere, but haven't had much time to look.

It is very different and it's a one to one thing.

Joe's place (link above) has a forum and you could ask him, it's an Expert on this stuff.

Sorry I didn't have the formula

thank's russ, will ck. out joe's forum.

Tender Quick is the easiest and safest cure available to the hobbyist.

Simply replace the salt in yout formuls with Tender Quick and delete all other cures.
Tender Quick has a built in safety feature. If you use too much your product will be too salty to eat. No danger of using too much nitrate or nitrite.

Hope this helps

Jack,

Nope... TQ and Prague powder are tow different products.

You can simply replace the salt in your recipe with TQ and omit the prague power, or any other cure for that matter.
