Can it be used for smoked beef jerky made in an electric smoker?

I see you are getting a lot of different answers. Let me try and clear some things up. A lot of folks either dehydrate or smoke their jerky and it never reaches what would be considered a tempature that would be adequate to kill harmful bacteria. Others smoke or dry their product over that temperature and it would be fine to consume within a couple of weeks with proper storage. I believe the FDA recommends the use of cure #1 and being heated to a temperature over 165°F. Me, I use the cure and dry in my smoker and bring the temp up to 145 in the final stage to my preferred dryness. Don't be afraid to use cure as long as you use it in the proper amount. .025% per pound of meat.

Do you also have to use sea salt in combination with this pink salt?

This isn't salt like sea salt. It's a nitrate used to cure meats like bacon. It's poisonous if taken in more than the recommended amount. You don't have to use salt with it when curing meat but most people do.

It says use one teaspoon for 5 lbs meat, but in how much water?

husband bought this.....he used it for curing a brisket....use 1 level teaspoon for 5lbs of meat....so for each 5lbs of meat use one level teaspoon....i hope that helps...my husband used a bucket to do his brisket...so lets say you have 5 lbs of meat....then you use 1tsp........and 10lbs of meat 2tsps....and he said to just cover the meat with water...that way all the salt gets in....make sure your meat isnt already cured or salted because it will make it saltier....i hope this helps....

What about to make fresh chesse or other kind of chesse do i need it?

I don’t know of any cheese that requires curing salt. You can use any type of non-Iodized salt for fresh cheese making. I’m sure curing salt has other uses but I personally only use it to make homemade bacon.

Good for corned beef

Worked great at wet curing a beef brisket. Nice and red all the way through, even after hours of being in a slow cooker.

Made My Bologna Turn Out Fantastic

I used this curing salt for homemade bologna and had excellent results. The cure dissolved easily into the water and mixed thoroughly into the meat without any issues. The finished bologna developed a consistent cured color throughout the entire batch, which is exactly what I was hoping for. I also appreciated that the curing salt arrived fresh and free of clumps or moisture problems. I used my own recipe after spending time researching several meat-curing websites, and this product performed exactly as expected. The packaging sealed well and the larger bottle size should last quite a while for home sausage making projects. Overall, this is a quality curing salt that gave reliable, consistent results and worked perfectly.

It did what I needed it to do and it arrived sooner than expected.

We were making our own corned beef and the brine recipe called for 5 teaspoons of curing salt. We didn’t have enough at the house so the warden ordered a bottle here online. It arrived on Monday the 9th and we made the brine a day or two later and we brined a 5 lb. brisket flat for four days, rinsed it off and left in the refrigerator til St. Patrick’s day, then put it in the crock pot. It came out with perfect flavor and texture after about a 6 hour cook taking it to about 200 degrees. The curing salt did its thing. Buy it, you’ll like it.
