You may or may not know #1 is generally not available in Ontario (other than mail order plus $15-20 shipping) or in 50 lb bags from Canada Compound. The only stuff I can get over the counter is Ready Cure (1% concentration).
My question: can I just use 6x readycure and 1/6 the salt in a recipe/brine that calls for 6% (pink/Prague/sure cure/etc)?
For example, a recipe uses 1T pink salt and 6 lb kosher salt (remember, this is just an example, not real).
Can I use 6 T of ready cure (1%) and 1 lb k.salt?
