How Prague Powder No. 1 works
This blend combines table salt with sodium nitrite. The nitrite helps control microbial growth and supports the meat’s appearance and flavor during curing. Note that color development and aroma largely arise from the curing process and subsequent cooking or smoking, not from the salt alone.
How to use
- Weigh your meat and the curing salt for the most accurate ratio using a kitchen scale.
- Typical dosing: 1 ounce (approximately 6 teaspoons or 2 tablespoons) per 25 pounds of meat, or 1 level teaspoon per 5 pounds.
- Dissolve the curing salt in cold water or add it to your marinade or brine and mix well.
Storage, safety, and allergen notes
- Store in a cool, dry place. Do not refrigerate or freeze the curing salt.
- Allergens: produced in a facility that processes dairy, soy, peanuts, and wheat.
Hoosier Hill Farm Prague Powder No. 1 offers a reliable base for cured meat projects. While outcomes depend on your recipes and technique, following the guidance can support consistent color, texture, and flavor development in wet cures.
