I purchased a whole hog recently. I have a great looking belly that I am going to cure and smoke for bacon. I took it out of the freezer to thaw so I can start to cure and realized that I am out of Prague Powder 1, I have pink salt, but not the Prague powder. I am not able to get it here locally and have ordered. The meat has thawed in the fridge and is ready to go but my powder will not be here until Tuesday or Wednesday.
I have studied this page https://amazingribs.com/tested-recip...g-meats-safely in depth and I am perhaps worrying too much. The belly is in the fridge still in the cryovac and has not started the cure process. Am I safe to hold it there until Tuesday or Wednesday before I start to cure? I am probably over thinking this one.
Thanks...
