When making summer sausage, can I add the curing salt to my other spices and mix it into the meat at the same time. dry?
Thanks
Don
yes indeed, I do.
donalddohrman yes you can
You certainly can but I personally prefer to dissolve it separately with water in an attempt to maximize the dispersion in the meat.
I like to do as bpschuebel does and dissolve it in water then mix in after my seasonings go in dry. I’ve always done this but saw a video of Austin doing it and figured I was doing it right all these years.
I also like to mix all the dry ingredients including cure with water, run them through a blender just before mixing with the meat for all the same reasons mentioned above.
Thank you Paul
donalddohrman Mixing it in with your water, as a few others have said will make sure you have better dispersion. You should be able to get that even if you just add it to the seasonings and then mix in but to be safe, adding it to the water is probably best.
