If I had a dime for every time I said this, I'd be a millionaire by now.... "What the hell is wrong with plain old borax?" Why is everybody always trying to re-invent the wheel when it comes to egg cures? Sure, there's nothing wrong with the brines and the sulfite based cures, but borax is tried and true and is also just about idiot proof. Don't get me wrong, sulfite has it's place, I've seen sulfite cured eggs outfish borax eggs from time to time on silvers. That being said, It is my opinion that Steelhead will hang on and munch on borax cured eggs much better than on sulfite cured eggs. Anyhow, not wanting to start a big egg cure debate, but seriously, What the hell is wrong with borax?
