Is it a huge mistake to use Cure 1 instead of Cure 2
Is it a huge mistake to use Cure 1 instead of Cure 2
I remember this was covered in similar topic some time ago but I was not able to find it, so decided to ask this question again: Is it a huge mistake to use Cure 1 instead of Cure 2 curing the whole muscle? I was curing two pork loins (both 1550 g) with Cure 2 a month ago. They lost 30% of their weight within 5 weeks and came out great. Yesterday I started with 6 pieces of loin with weight range from 850 to 1200 g. each but I goofed and used Cure 1 instead of Cure 2. I think that in this case drying time should be less then 5 weeks based on loins weight so they should loose 30% within 4 weeks and I should not worry too much about this. On the picture you can see my "previous" two loins along with a few SL ribs getting ready for hot smoking.

BobK, Thank you very much for you input and the link. I appreciated that. Just red Chris's comment and confirmed for myself that I should not start panicking.
By the way, I just cannot figure out how to link (attach) pictures. Went through Q&A several times, then tried to link pictures but.... no success.
