I’ve been buying products and equipment from the Sausage Maker for 20 years. Never had a bad product. Never had to return anything. Everything has been as advertised. You can’t get better than that!

Breat product! For the first time, I cured and smoked a ham for the holidays. Insta Cure #1 was so easy to use and took the mystery out of the curing process. The ham turned out nice and pink.

This was my first time brining and smoking a fresh ham and it turned out GREAT! I will be ordering more very soon and I think my store bought cure and precooked ham days are over, I will be making it this way from now on. GREAT PRODUCT!

This is a must if you are smoking your meats, fish or poultry. I could not live without it. The Sausage Maker is the best place to get it. Definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking of making and smoking their own sausage.
