I need to know if coarse salt is the same as curing salt. I have curing
salt and need coarse. So wondering if I can use the curing salt in a
recipe for chow chow that calls for coarse salt.

AFAIK 'curing salt' has nitrates in it, as part of the 'cure'. Save it
for curing meat.
Not certain why coarse salt would be needed in a recipe that involves
liquid. Are you supposed to salt the individual vegetables?
Regular salt will do in that case.

Coarse salt/pickling salt dissolves without clouding in Water/vinegar

Thank you for replying. I felt stupid to ask. But since I was trying to save
myself a trip to the store , I hoped some kind soul here would clue me. I do
have non iodized salt on hand. I'll just use that. Seems to me it should be
fine, too.

Actually you can't assume that just because the salt you have in non-iodized
that it replaces pickling salt, most all table salts contain anti-caking
compounds, even some "kosher" salt contains anti-caking compounds. Since I see
you are preparing "chow chow" then you are pickling, not curing. Typical
curing salts are not table salt, those contain nitrites and are added to
pickling salt to maintain the red/pink color of meats... although plain
pickling salt can be used just as succesfully for meat curing, only the
resulting product will be a gorgeous shade of *grey*.

For pickling I suggest you use pickling salt, or read the contents of your
package of salt carefully to be sure it is non-iodized, AND that it does not
contain anti-caking compounds.... remember, even though "kosher" salt contains
no iodine it may still contain anti-caking compounds.
You can safely use salt containing anti-caking compounds for your chow chow
(pickling) but it will impart an off flavor (metalic) and your product will be
of poor color... fine is you like "khaki" chow chow.

Pickling salt, yes; coarse salt, not necessarily.

Thank you kindly for the very good lesson . I will remember it. The jar I have of
curing salt was left over a long time ago . I put it in an airtight jar and just
left it on the shelf, in case . But with the box gone , I had forgotten about the
nitrate . I didn't want to go to the store for the salt I needed. Thought why not
use this. Glad I ask and you took the time to help me. I will get the proper
ingredients. Kate

If it's unlabled and so old you don't remember its origin than I urge you to
toss it in the trash... salt is cheap, buy new.

The *ONLY* salt I use for cooking and table use is Diamond Crystal kosher salt;
ingredient listing says "SALT". Morton kosher salt ingredients list says
"Salt, Yellow Prussiate of Soda (Anti-caking agent). I happen to have a box of
Morton kosher salt because someone (actually my brother) brought it as part of
a house warming gift, I've kept it for melting ice... the box sets on a shelf
in my garage... I don't know about yoose but don't need any steenkin' yellow
prussiate of soda on my baked potato.

I urge yoose to store all white powdery/crystaline substances in their original
container, or in a *clearly* marked jar. I keep my Diamond Crystal in the
cupboard in it's original box, with a small quantity ready for use in a small
glass mayo jar at the stove, which is clearly marked by my securely taping the
identifying part of the actual Diamond Crystal kosher salt box to the jar. For
table use when I have guests I put out my oversized restaurant-type salt
shaker, but I re-drilled the holes in its stainless steel top so that it works
well with kosher salt. Btw, I don't own a pepper shaker, in fact I have no
pre-ground pepper, it's fresh ground or nothing... I own more than twenty
pepper mills and I use them all. They get rotated as they need refilling...
and I keep three different varieties of peppercorns, black tellichery, white
malabar, and a couple-three of my own various blends.

Pickling salt might leave the brine clear but coarse salt won't
necessarily do that.
