## Questions & Answers

**Q: So is this from mix to smoker or does it still require 12 hours in the cooler first?**
A: I guess it depends on your curing period. I have used in a meatloaf that went right into the smoker without any curing time and it worked just fine. But my pastrami uses a 5 day curing and the insta-cure works well there too.

**Q: does it contain propylene glycol ?**
A: Prague powder consists of 93.75% table salt and 6.25% sodium nitrite aid it does not contain propylene glycol

**Q: Gonna do a boneless pork roast 4.5 lbs how much cure is required! I heard 1 tsp per lb..**
A: If you use 1 tsp per pound make sure your life insurance is paid up because your dead. It's 1 tsp per 5 pounds. What are you making Canadian Bacon are you doing a dry cure or a wet cure?? My advice is do a bunch of research before you try> Here is a Calculator for cured meat: http://www.localfoodheroes.co.uk/?p=cured-meat-calculators

**Q: What kind of packaging does this come in?**
A: It comes in a sealed plastic bag

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Cure Every Time – A Must-Have for Home Curing!
*by G***G on July 3, 2025*

I’ve been using Insta Cure #1 from The Sausage Maker® for the past few months, and it’s been a total game-changer for my home meat-curing projects. Whether I'm making homemade bacon, ham, or dry-cured sausages, this curing salt delivers consistent, reliable results every single time. The 8 oz size is ideal for hobbyists like me—it lasts a good while without taking up too much space. I really appreciate that it’s made in the USA and clearly labeled, so I know exactly what I’m using and how much to use (the included instructions are super helpful for beginners too). The bright pink color is perfect—it ensures there's no confusion with regular salt, which is a huge safety plus when working with curing agents. Everything I’ve cured with this has come out flavorful, safe, and just how I wanted it. If you’re serious about making your own cured meats at home, this is an essential pantry item. Can’t recommend it enough!
