I’ve always been very satisfied with the product’s of the sausage maker. Very satisfied with everyone I have talked with. I have been ordering products, supplies and equipment since 1976 So 44 years and counting. I still have the first “GREAT SAUSAGE RECIPES AND MEAT CURING” BOOK.

I make what we call “British Bacon” made out of pork loin. I use the insta cure product to brine the pork. It does a great job, and my British husband loves it.
