Curing Salt No.1. Quick Cure Premium Prague Powder XL 1.5 Pound Bottle by SPQR Seasonings

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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 value

Husband was looking for salt to make his own pastrami. This worked perfectly. I might even try my hand at canning with what is left over. Shipping was fast and arrived undamaged. Good value for price. Would repurchase

Great product with a long shelf life.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:As a naive and somewhat “newish” guy that’s been experimenting with jerky recipes the one thing I don’t gamble is safety. And with that in mind I know jerky can be made without Prague Powder. However I don’t know enough about those situations to feel good about sharing jerky I made with friends and family and the possibility of food poisoning so I always make sure to use number one curing salt. This salt adds a safety net to store food a bit longer and less risk of bacteria. It also adds to the flavor or traditional jerky.I am also very happy that I was sent a batch that has an expiration date 3 years from my delivery date! I don’t make jerky enough to go through this size bottle very fast and it’s nice to know it will be good to use for years ahead.

Makin' bacon

I used this to turn a pork belly into a cured smoked bacon. It turned out great. There are plenty of curing charts on the internet, and I used a Girl Gone Grilling recipe that was beginner friendly. It turned out like bacon, so I'm giving this cure 👍🏻👍🏻
