The Spice Lab Curing Salt No. 1 – Pink Prague Powder with 6.25% Sodium Nitrite – Meat Curing Salt for Bacon, Jerky, Brisket & Corned Beef – Made in USA (1 lb)

Great for jerky and summer sausage.

Used this to make bacon. It worked well. A little too well, as my bacon was way toooo salty.But that’s my fault for not washing it off the pork enough or maybe leaving it to sit too long.But it did do its job.

We couldn’t find this on any store. It was great that we could find it on Amazon and send it with some other things we’re getting so shipping was feee. This is what my husband needs to brine some meat to make bacon. Now he can make his bacon.

I've been wanting to try making corned beef for the last few years since moving back to Texas. Corned beef is so hard to find here and costs way too much for what you do find. I caught a great deal on briskets and decided what better time to take the plunge and give it a shot. In case I totally messed up at least it wouldn't be a great loss of money. This one was a great price for the amount so figured to give it a try. The corned beefs turned out amazing, easy to make and this salt did its job well of curing and adding a perfect pink color. Now that I see how really easy the process is - I"ll probably order more of this brand curing salt and definitely keep making them. It's true once you have a homemade one the store bought pales in comparison. I do have a couple of other things in the near future to try...a type of bacon out of a pork shoulder and a Canadian thing from pork loin called peameal bacon which both need this ingreidient. If they turn out as well as the corned beef then I'll be needing this often. Definitely recommend

I used this my first time ever curing a brisket roast. It worked well and it was less artificially pink than some others. It is a fine grain salt that dissolved quickly in the brine.

I received a dehydrator as a gift for Christmas and decided to try making homemade jerky. I needed curing salt to complete the process, and this product fit the bill. It arrived quickly, and the batch I received was fresh. The curing salt is a fine, uniformly ground pink powder, which worked well for curing the meat. After using it, the jerky turned out flavorful, tender, and without an overpowering saltiness.Now that I’ve seen how straightforward the process is, I plan to make jerky again. This product seems to go a long way, so it may last for several batches. If you’re looking to cure jerky, this salt appears to be a solid option.

Good quality, perfect for smoking meat

This product is for curing meat. Food preparation and cooking involve the risk of injuries to yourself and others so if you are not competent in reading, understanding, and following directions do not attempt to prepare food for yourself or others. I say all this after reading some of the negative comments. All components of food involve chemicals (H2O, NaCl, etc.). If the instructions say use 1 tablespoon per 5 pounds of meat, and you use less then you may have a problem with the results and people could get sick. More so if you use too much. The red dye used to mark this as "not table salt" is not a poison, and won't make you sick (it would take so much to cause you harm that someone would probably drown in the 5 gallon bucket first). The red dye is to prevent a simple mistake, not fix incompetence. I hope this helps.
