[Dom]

What kind of salt is used or do you all use to cure meat?Befor refridgeration or freezers this was the method so othr than smoking to cure they would use salt to keep from spoiling so what salt should we be using

I am sure it was reg salt, just wasn't as fine as we have now. So maybe it was more like rock salt.

But I am a youngin so what do I know

According to the last episode of MeatEater where he made bear bacon regular salt and some "PINK SALT" which apparently is a preservative and prevents bacteria as well

"PINK SALT"

is another name for prague powder#1
