FAQ
Q: Can I use regular salt instead of Salt Tender Quick?
A: Salt Tender Quick contains curing agents, which help preserve and give the sausage its signature pink color. Using regular salt may change texture and color.
Q: Can I cook it without a smoker?
A: Yes! Oven cooking works, but the smoky flavor will be milder. Liquid smoke helps replicate that flavor.
Q: How long will the sausage last in the fridge?
A: About 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months.
