I want to smoke some bacon and salmon by following the recipes in Michael Ruhlman's book "Charcuterie". Both of these call for pink salt. From what I can gather, pink salt is the same as Prague Powder except the pink powder is dyed pink and Prague Powder is white. Is that correct? I also have Morton Tender Quick which has a sodium nitrate content of .5% along with salt and sugar. Can this be used equal to the amount of salt, sugar and pink powder in the recipe?
Thanks to anyone who can clarify this for me. While I have dabbled a bit in this, I have not had a lot of experience with smoking these types of things.
