Meat Block Calculator - Seasoning, Cure, and Water
Select your seasoning, enter how much raw meat you have, and we'll calculate how much seasoning, cure, and water you need.
Notes: Use a scale to measure ingredients. Seasoning measurements are the same regardless of protein. Water recommendation here is 3%, or 0.52 oz. per lb., for all seasonings based on a standard fresh sausage preparation. Please add more water for other preparation types. We always recommend ice water.
Tip: Build shrinkage into your batch plan. Amount of water, cook type, and inclusions all affect your yield.
