Linda C. Missouri: I have enjoyed several products from Hoosier Farms and found them to be really good. The cheddar cheese is SO GOOD, the heavy cream and sour cream is easy to use and flavor is stable throughout the cooking and serving process.

This curing salt is for my brother so I can't rate it but I don't believe he will have any problems with it based on my own experience .with Hoosier Farms.

SMFMSMFM: I've been using this product for creating pickling brines. So far, I have used it to make both a pastrami and a corned beef. The results have been fantastic. The tub will last me quite a while, but I won't hesitate to buy another when I run out. A+

CKCK: We've started curing meats a few years back and my family and friends have enjoyed the results ! Due to the nature of this type of product, not a lot is needed so this 2.5 LB container has lasted us a while and will still in the future.

We've used this for bacon, beef jerky a well as other meat types of jerky, brisket among our favorite sausages and in each instance our result is perfect. Since we've started to use we've told friends about this Hoosier Hill Farm Prague Powder and that it can be bought right here on Amazon.

Some general thoughts:

- When we make a soaking brine we typically do 1.5 gallons of pure water to 8 teaspoons of this Parague Powder cure.

- Please always read directions and don't pour in ' just a bit more ' , follow your recipe. While this works great as intended, too much of anything is not good.

- This is sodium nitrite, not sodium nitrate

- Suggest to grab a good Charcuterie recipe book and just have fun ! Explore the different methods of curing different cuts and types of meat !

Helpful, is how I hope you find my review

XMS: Cures food well, and does not clump. It's pink salt, so there is not a lot to say here that has not been said. It's an FDA regulated product and the formulation is regulated by law. It's not like one "pink salt" recipe will beat another - there is no "recipe".

One reason to choose this brand: the lid and the plastic tub make it easy to measure, and to later store the product. It keeps it clean and dry. The granules are very fine and that helps adhesion to food and ultimately curing by way of dissolving into solution. The coloring holds when mixed in large ratios, and that is nice for safety reasons. We tell our kids, "If it's pink, it stinks!"

Basic concentration reminders are on the side of the jar (4 ounces per 100 pounds) so this jar is good for about 400 pounds of dry-cured meats.

EDIT: Someone asked a question in the comment section and I decided to copy my answer into this post hoping others will find it useful:

Prague #1 (Instacure #1 is the same) is used for the preservation of meats that will be cooked. It is a formulation of salt and Sodium Nitrite.

Prague #2 (Instacure #2) is used for preservation of meats that will dry cure (not be...
