    Make your own English muffins

    I have been using this recipe with King Arthur Bread Flour and cooking in a covered skillet. My results haven't been as good and SWMBO compares them to hockey pucks. Will try with AP flour.

    Curing question

    For two pounds of chicken and one gallon of water you should use 11.73 grams of Cure #1. It also won't cure overnight. Overnight brining is usually salt only to enhance moistness in the cooked product.The recipe is dangerous.

    Why Does Sausage Have Casing?

    I rarely bother with casings anymore. I usually make up 8 ounce and 1 lb lots and vacuum seal them for later use in pasta sauces or for pizza and lasagna. I found, like OP, that I spent most of my time uncasing them.

    Dutch Oven No Knead Bread

    Google Jim Lahey's No knead bread. Itr became a New York Times favorite some years ago and requires a longer fermentation period (with less yeast) than the one the OP posted.

    No. Equilibrium curing is using a known amount of salt and cure to the brining liquid so that when sufficient time has passed, the liquid and the meat are in equilibrium regarding the amount of salt and cure each holds.

    Cure in marinates and brines

    Are you trying to make a marinade or a wet cure. A marinade is used to add flavor to the exterior of the meat and, in some cases, to tenderize the meat.
