The Spice Lab Curing Salt #1 (2 Lb Bag) Pink Curing Salt (Prague Powder 1) 6.25% Sodium Nitrite Curing Salt for Meat, Game, Bacon Cure, Brining Salt, Jerky Cure, Brisket & Corned Beef - Made in USA

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

Great quality of salt and instruction for ideal storage were great to ensure and preserve way kith of the product

Good price

Using it to cure a deer ham so far so good pretty fine salt so should work well

Been great for making my own bacon

First of all, for everybody who complains that this does not "come with directions", well neither does regular salt, or sugar, or cumin. As it turns out, depending on your application the directions can vary wildly, so instead of complaining, use a new tool called Google and look up a recipe (the Amazing Ribs website is great). I used this to cure pork belly and make my own bacon. While it doesn't get as crisp as dry-cured bacon, the flavor is fantastic. I have also used it to cure chicken and turkey legs before I smoked them, again, great results. Be sure to look at the Amazing Ribs website for a primer on wet curing and a handy calculator to determine the measurements and amount of time to cure different meats.

I’m new to curing meats or using this product in general an yea I tasted this compared to regular salt not much difference but you can use this LITELY an you’ll be ok if using alone with out any other ingredients as for a brine it definitely does the job an for money an amount you get , if you find something eater equal to or better as the old saying goes I’ll send you $100 because your not going to unless you steal it !!!! Anyway peeps your not going to be disappointed I assure you .
