Manufacturer Contact Information Tongmaster Seasonings Review: Essential for making Salt Beed - High grade saltpetre which I buy for making salt beef. Good quality product that produces good results every time. Review: Great value for a high quality product - I bought this a few months ago and only now has the weather cooled sufficiently for me to attempt curing. I added .5g of saltpetre per kilo of meat for bacon, put it in a plastic bag with additional salt and spices and left it in the fridge for 10/11 days. After that I removed it from the bag and let it dry a little hanging in a muslin cloth for 5 days. When I cut into it it was an attractive pink colour and it fried up nicely. I use it as a flavouring for beans and stews or bolognese sauces. I rate it 10/10: would highly recommend. But make sure you get good kitchen scales to measure it out and research online for ratios of saltpetre to meat. A little goes a long way. ## Features - ★ Directions included on the item package. - Saltpetre - ★ bacon cure saltpetre, saltpetre, saltpetre supplier, nitre, niter. - ★ saltpetre, bacon, brine, preserving, cure ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01FXJ4P94 | | ASIN | B01FXJ4P94 | | Age Range Description | 18 and up | | Best Sellers Rank | 26,609 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) 282 in Meat Seasoning | | Brand | Tongmaster | | Country of origin | United Kingdom | | Country of origin | United Kingdom | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (408) | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (408) | | Date First Available | 20 May 2016 | | Delivery information | We cannot deliver certain products outside mainland UK ( Details ).

I suggest you contact Tongmaster direct or search google. Good luck. **Q: Can it be used in the making of pork pies to keep pie meat a pink colour** A: Possibly but be careful it is a very strong intrusive taste/flavour. **Q: Can this be used in making sausages?** A: I think so. I've used it to make salami bresaola and ham . My understanding is that it's for preserving the meat. I would add it if you are preserving the sausages. **Q: It says salt but doesn't say salt in the instructions. Do I need to add 9.8% salt to the water and saltpetre?** A: If your recipie needs salt you need to add it. This is only salpetre. For a rub you might use a couple of teaspoons of this to 50g of salt. For a 3 litre brine 350g salt to 50g saltpetre ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential for making Salt Beed *by R***A on 13 June 2025* High grade saltpetre which I buy for making salt beef.
