Hi all, been lurking for a while here and finally decided to register an account on this site. Now to my question/concern.
I am planning to smoke some pastrami and in haste I picked up some random curing salt I found at my local asian market (because I was too lazy to drive around and too impatient to wait for online orders). The recipe I used called for two tsp of prague #1 salt, so I substituted the prague for the curing salt I bought and placed my meat in the brine in the fridge. So my question is whether or not this curing salt would be an ok substitute for the Prague 1 salt. If not, would the meat still be salvageable or should I cut my losses and start anew.
Thanks
