Insta Cure #1 Pink Curing Salt - 1LB Bag for Meat Curing, Sausage Making & Food Preservation | Perfect for Homemade Bacon, Jerky & Deli Meats

Insta Cure™ No. 1 is a basic cure for use with all meats that require cooking, brining, smoking or canning. This includes poultry, fish, ham, bacon, luncheon meats, corned beef, pâtés and other products too numerous to mention. Formerly known as Prague Powder No. 1, the Sausage Maker’s USDA-approved cure formula is a simple 1lb. sodium nitrite cure containing salt, 6.25% sodium nitrite and an anti-caking agent.

Curing meat prevents botulism poisoning (common food poisoning). This process also helps to safely and effectively preserve the meat while imparting more robust flavors and colors. The Sausage Maker recommends using one level teaspoon per five pounds of ground meat. One pound Insta Cure 1 will process approximately 480 pounds of meat.
