Also known as Prague Powder #1, this USDA-approved formula is essential for both home and professional meat processors. Each 1 lb. pack contains a blend of salt, 6.25% sodium nitrite, and an anti-caking agent, making it easy to apply evenly in your curing recipes.

Insta Cure #1, also known as Prague Powder #1, is commonly used to cure ham, bacon, corned beef, sausage, poultry, and fish, helping to reduce the growth of harmful bacteria, such as botulism. This pink curing salt #1 not only improves food safety but also enhances color, flavor, and shelf life.

    The Insta Cure #1 worked very well. That was used with the Turkey brine and the process was very simple and the results were outstanding. If that could be sold as a package the Insta Cure #1 and the Turkey brine to include hickory smoke would be a valuable package that would earn my return and continued reorder.

    5 stars, but it’s pretty hard to screw up pink salt.

    Works well for fresh sausage.

    Very good products. The problem is the time it takes to receive orders.

    We use this product to cure meat prior to smoking. We previously purchased a smaller mount in a plastic bag. The larger container is far better. It will be much easier to keep the salt dry. Delivery was fast. I know the product is good, I have used it for the past two years.

    Great packaging, easy to store and easy to use.
