Re: More Information on Nitrate/Nitrite CURES

Cure #2 This cure is a blend of salt and sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate. The salt is added as a carrier and to make it easier to measure.

In spite of the name, sealing the bag with vacuum isn't a requirement.

Heysawhorseray,

Good looking sausage!

Because of the freeze resistance shown by sylvatic species of Trichinella, freezing of meat from wild game is not uniformly reliable.

Cooking to safe tempperature is the recommended method of destroying Trichinella in wild game.

There is also an obvious error in the Russian sausage recipe in adding 5g of Cure 2 nitrite to 1kg. That works out to 312.5 ppm only with the nitrite, the additional nitrate content in Cure 2 take it into the danger zone. Most Polish recipes (that is sausage made in Poland), have a nitrite content ...
