Reply to "Jerky ingredient label"

Seems to be a lot of misconceptions about TQ floating around here. Its impossible for a human to ingest enough TQ to hurt themselves. They would be puking too much to get it down due to the salt intake. Mixing the nitrates/nitrites with salt is a safeguard. Best way to use it is pretend its salt because thats mainly what it is. On this last batch of jerky I used 1.5 Tablespoons for 2.5 cups marinade on 11 pounds of meat strip. Turned it nice n red but not quite salty enough. Think I bump that to 2 T. next time. For a curing brine I like 1 cup TQ per gallon of water. Just like salt.
