## Overview

Insta Cure #1 is a premium 5 lb curing salt blend with 93.75% table salt and 6.25% sodium nitrite, designed to safely cure, preserve, and enhance the flavor and color of meats.

## Description

When uncooked meat is exposed to temperatures above 40°F degrees for any length of time, the risk of it harboring pathogenic bacteria can escalate quickly. That’s usually not a problem when you grill or otherwise cook meat to a safe temperature that will kill any bacteria shortly after refrigeration. But, if you’re smoking, curing or drying any type of meat product, the extended time in the danger zone between refrigeration and fully cooked leaves the opportunity for deadly bacteria, including the varieties that cause botulism, to multiply – FAST. Let’s talk about our first type of cure – Insta Cure #1. It contains a small amount of sodium nitrite infused into a purified salt, allowing for a more uniform cure throughout the meat product.

- ENHANCES FLAVOR & PRESERVES COLOR: Achieve rich, complex flavors and vibrant colors in cured meats. This trusted formula works perfectly for various products, including jerky, ham, bacon, brisket, sausage, snack sticks, corned beef, pâtés, pastrami, luncheon meats, meatloaf, poultry, fish, and more.

- TRUSTED CURING FORMULA MADE IN THE USA: The Sausage Maker Inc.'s Insta Cure #1 contains 93.75% table salt and 6.25% sodium nitrite, meeting strict industry standards.
