Have not had a chance to use product, but am fully aware of what it is….I was treated most graciously by your customer service department when I discovered that I ordered Insta Cure #1 instead of #2…they jumped on the order and changed it out with no questions asked! That says it all for me! It seems nowadays NO ONE cares about their customers unless their credit card fails to go through…not you! Will continue to use you for all my sausage making needs!!!!

I recently placed an order with Sausage Make and was surprised to receive my order within two days. I have been dealing with Sausage Maker for many years and find their products easy to use as well as dependable service.

Product as expected. Only issue is it comes in a plastic bag and I never use a whole pound of Cure #1 atone time so I have to hunt up a container to store the remainder. and a label. Would be nice if it came in a bottle or other reuseable container.

As a chemist I know what sodium nitrate is and what it costs. You have a huge profit margin.
