check out sausagemaker.com for ingredients and equipment like grinders, stuffers, netting, casings, along with cure #1 and #2.
Cure #1/pink salt is used for bacon, hams, and sausage that will be smoked at low temps (below 100 degrees) and some "hot smoke" products (again, like sausage).
Cure #2 is "time release" for air dried meats from large muscles like parma ham, proscuitto, etc.
Both cures are used to protect against botulism.
Get Ruhlman's book "Charcuterie" or Kutas's book (available from sausagemaker.com)
Tenderquick is a good product, but the directions and amounts are different from making your own cure using "pink salt". I've got both for different projects.
