Containing a precise blend of table salt and sodium nitrite, this 2.5LB pack cures up to 100 pounds of meat, preventing bacterial growth while enhancing flavor and color. Trusted by home curing enthusiasts for its purity, ease of use, and versatile application across bacon, sausage, jerky, and more. ## Description Step one: Slice meat into ¼ inch thick slices, making sure to remove as much fat as possible. Place meat into a ziplock bag or a large bowl and set aside. Step two: Mix Prague Powder No. 1, soy sauce, dry sherry, brown sugar, salt, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl. Mix until the sugar dissolves and pour into wherever you’ve chosen to put your meat (either in a bag or a bowl). Make sure that all of the meat is coated and place in the fridge to marinate for at least 12 hours. Step three: Place marinated meat onto your dehydrator trays and dehydrate for 4-6 hours at 160 degrees F, or until the meat has dried. Step four: Remove meat from the dehydrator and allow it to cool prior to storing. ## Features - Hoosier Hill Farm Prague Powder No. 1 is also referred to as Tinted Cure, Insta Cure, or Pink Curing Salt. It is an essential food preservative used for curing meats that require a wet curing process. This includes a variety of short cure preparations like sausage, corned beef, country ham, bacon, and a variety of fish. In addition, it can be used when making jerky or smoking meats. Made from a combination of table salt and sodium nitrite, curing salt prevents bacteria growth and food poisoning while maintaining your meat’s flavor and appearance. Each container of Prague Powder holds enough to cure 100 pounds of meat. - How to use Prague Powder: To cure meat or fish safely within food safety guidelines, it’s important to use the proper amount of Prague Powder. We recommend using a kitchen scale to weigh both your meat and your curing salt for the most accurate ratio. - Use 1 ounce (equivalent to 6 teaspoons, or 2 tablespoons) of Prague Powder for 25 pounds of meat, or 1 level teaspoon of cure for 5 pounds of meat. Mix curing salt with cold water to dissolve, or add it to your marinade or brine and mix well. - Storage: For maximum shelf life, store in a cool, dry place. We do not recommend refrigerating or freezing curing salt. - Allergens: Packaged in a facility that processes dairy, soy, peanuts, and wheat products. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B00C2PIC92 | | Best Sellers Rank | #10 in Table Salts | | Item Model Number | HHF118 | | Manufacturer | Hoosier Hill Farm LLC | | Product Dimensions | 5 x 5 x 5 inches; 2.5 pounds | | Units | 40 Ounce | | Upc | 853881004809 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hoosier Hill Farm - **Flavor:** Curing Salt - **Item Weight:** 2.5 pounds - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Unit Count:** 40 Ounce ## Images ![Prague Powder No.1 Curing Salt, 2.5LB (Pack of 1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OxTQxpy6L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: #1. Or #2. For making smoked summer sausage. I will be fully cooking this in the smoker to the correct temp** A: Kind of confusing, but the #1 is for corned beef and bacon. The #2 is for dry curing sausage... **Q: what is the shelf life** A: The container has a "best buy" date about 5 years in the future, but considering that this is salt, a mineral that has been around since the beginning of time, the shelf life is essentially forever. It reminds me of the expiration dates on bottles of water. **Q: If I am using a dehydrator, should I use # 1 or #2 curing salt for jerky?** A: I use a dehydrator regularly making beef and wild game jerky. I always use #1. I add about 1 teaspoon of #1 for every 5-6 lbs of meat. **Q: Would this be good for curing a pork loin? I usually hang them for about 4 months to cure** A: Short answer: Yes. It is a supplement adding nitrates to inhibit bacteria and not a direct salt replacement.Long answer is you need to know the amount of nitrates and nitrites you are using to inhibit bacteria growth. This is not a salt replacement in a recipe, it is an addition of nitrates mixed with salt. If your rub calls for 1/2 cup of salt you would replace about a teaspoon of your straight salt with #1 pink salt. We use 1 table spoon of potassium nitrate (saltpeter) to process about 60 pounds of venison/pork sausage. I think 1/4 teaspoon of pink salt per pound of loin would work but I am not trained so take that with a grain of salt. ;)Please do not use this as a straight substitute for salt in any recipe. You will give someone a heart attack. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hoosier Hill Farm Prague Powder No.1 Pink Curing Salt, 2.5LB (Pack of 1) - Hoosier Hill Farm Prague Powder No. 2 Pink Curing Salt, 2.5LB (Pack of 1) - Morton Kosher Salt, Coarse (48 oz / 3 lb), 2-Pack,Ideal for Cooking & Baking --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.bo/products/4389027-prague-powder-no-1-curing-salt-2-5lb-pack-1](https://www.desertcart.bo/products/4389027-prague-powder-no-1-curing-salt-2-5lb-pack-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Bolivia* *Store origin: BO* *Last updated: 2026-10-29*
