I got a couple of PM's from people that seem to think through reading this that salt and TQ might be the same.

From the Morton Website:

Can I use table salt or canning salt in place of curing salt?

No, table salt or canning salt cannot be used in place of curing salt. If used, you will get salted meat but the color and flavor of the meat will not be properly developed.

Key thing is that TQ contains more than salt, specifically nitrates/nitrites when perform specific functions that salt does not. Same reason why you can buy just Pink Salt (which is like TQ, but no salt, only the Nitrates/nitrites)

TQ contents:

quote:
Morton® Tender Quick® contains salt, sugar, propylene glycol, sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite.
