hi help needed please, ive just made 20lb of chirizo but due to a cock up between me and my mate the butcher, we added 60 grams of prague no2 powder too much.now i've had a look at the nitrates bits in here but can't make head nor tail of them, so basically will they just be too salty or do i chuck them before they kill me.

Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear of your problem.
Just to clarify, you say you put in 60g too much Prague #2, what was the total amount of Prague #2 you put into the 20lbs of meat?

instead of binning them , strip meat out of casings and add more meat to the mix to get the nitrate diluted, don't forget to add the correct amount of other spices then re-mix and re stuff.

correction think he put the full pack in which just having looked on the web site on here looks like 200g which makes it about 160g to much.thanks for prompt response didnt want to waste time fretting about them if they were beyond repair

Your subsequent reply to Big Guy leads me to believe you would have to add about 130-150lbs more meat to save this one!
You may want to consider your other option.

yep thought that might be the out come ,you live and learn.thanks anyway.the previous ones i made were great but with franco's mix, this time i was going to try bodgers recipe but with some cure in , so i'll just have to dive back in and do some more.,the butcher provides the meat at cost for a cut, so we just wasted �15 of pork alot of cure and an hour.cheers for that any way

I would hate you to die when we've only just met you, so disposal is the only option here I'm afraid.

The body preservation would be a gift for archaeologists in 2000 years time tho...

with that amount of nitrate you have no choice . You must throw them out. one lesson learned
