For what it's worth, here in America, there are at least three different Cure #2 formulas. 6.25% nitrite and 1% nitrate. (SausageMaker) 5.67% nitrite and 3.63% nitrate. (Butcher & Packer) 6.25% nitrate and 4% nitrate. (Allied Kenco) Bob, those seem to be significant differences. Duk, our chemical e...
