Can you use pickling salt as curing salt?

Yes, pickling salt can be used as a curing salt, but not all curing salts are the same. Curing salts often contain an anticaking agent, while pickling salt does not.

Here are some additional points to consider:

* Pickling salt is not as refined as curing salt. It may contain impurities that can affect the flavor of your cured meats.

* Curing salt is typically used in smaller quantities than pickling salt. This is because curing salt is more concentrated, so it can easily over-season your meat.

* Pickling salt is not suitable for all curing methods. It is best used for wet curing, where the meat is submerged in a brine solution made with pickling salt. Curing salt is better suited for dry curing, where the meat is rubbed with a mixture of curing salt and spices.

If you are unsure about whether to use pickling salt or curing salt, it is best to consult a recipe or a trusted resource on meat curing.
