I decided to look-up how it is made and it seemed like it would not be that hard. I decided on a recipe after watching a lot of videos and reading lots of recipes, most called for curing salt. The results were way beyond my expectations. This was the most beautiful, corned beef I have had since I was a child, and I am now 71. My daughter came over for some Rueben Sandwiches one night and didn't say much but a couple of days later she wanted to know if I had made the corned beef as I had been talking about doing so for awhile. She said it was the best she had ever had (she grew up on corned beef) She told her husband about it and now they are going to be making their own also. I told her I felt the curing salt and brining time made the difference from the corned beef that I purchased for $15/lb, ready to cook and this corned beef that I added my own spices and curing salt with beef that cost $3.89 a pound. I will always make my own from now on. It seems a little pricey, but you use very little. We are now going to try making Pastrami, Kielbasa, bacon and smoked German sausage like my father -in-law used to make that we cannot buy in our area of the country and the last time we were in Chicago cost us $22 a pound. Review: I bought 8 fresh ham steaks on sale and expected them to be the same as store bought ham steaks. Boy, was I wrong. The first one I baked was tough, and not good at all. The second one, I marinated overnight, and it tasted better, but was still tough. So, I had 6 fresh ham steaks left and was almost tempted to throw them out. I then did a Google search and found out that curing them might save the day. I found a simple recipe that required this curing salt, so I ordered it on desertcart. For this recipe, I also had to order turbinado sugar which I also bought on desertcart. I cured all 6 of the ham steaks at one time. After 4 days, I baked one of the ham steaks with a brown sugar glaze, and it was amazing. It wasn't exactly the same as a store bought ham steak, but it was very flavorful and tender. I liked it as well or better than any store bought hams steak. You can find the recipe on Google by searching for "How to cure a ham". The recipe is for a whole ham, but it works as well for a number of ham steaks. I hope this review was helpful for you. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00HEQGMSW | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (509) | | Date First Available | April 1, 2018 | | Item Weight | 113 g | | Product Dimensions | 0.64 x 8.89 x 17.78 cm; 113.4 g | ## Product Details - **Item Weight:** 4 Ounces - **Number of Pieces:** 1 - **Package Weight:** 0.12 Kilograms ## Images ![Insta Cure #1 (Prague Powder 1) - Curing Salt for Meat and Sausage - 4 oz. - The Sausage Maker - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41GX8MHLLLL.jpg) ![Insta Cure #1 (Prague Powder 1) - Curing Salt for Meat and Sausage - 4 oz. - The Sausage Maker - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51LXy+hsz6L.jpg) ![Insta Cure #1 (Prague Powder 1) - Curing Salt for Meat and Sausage - 4 oz. - The Sausage Maker - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51OgndmbEPL.jpg) ![Insta Cure #1 (Prague Powder 1) - Curing Salt for Meat and Sausage - 4 oz. - The Sausage Maker - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51lw0bvHFSL.jpg) ![Insta Cure #1 (Prague Powder 1) - Curing Salt for Meat and Sausage - 4 oz. - The Sausage Maker - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51rndD5JbOL.jpg) ## 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 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***. on December 12, 2022* I love corned beef, but it is getting way to expensive.

Since only very little is required for proper wet curing, this small pouch will last me for years, as I suspect it will most people. Unless you make a LOT of cured meat products at home, it'll last you a veeery long time. This was the best deal I found on Amazon for a small amount, and it's done a great job. If you've never used this stuff, it imparts color and flavor to cured meats you can't get from anything else. Corned beef is NOT corned beef without it! It does this by the same chemical reaction that makes the pink smoke ring in pulled pork BBQ. As a matter of fact, people used to put it in their pork shoulder marinade for barbecue competitions, because it made what appeared to be a very deep smoke ring. As a result, sanctioning organizations quit using the smoke ring as a judging criteria, because of the widespread cheating! ## Frequently Bought Together - Insta Cure #1, 4 Oz Pink Curing Salt, Prague Powder, Quick Cure For Meat, Sausage, Ham, Bacon, Made In USA - The Sausage Maker® - The Sausage Maker® Natural Hog Sausage Casings 32-38mm, Edible Casing For Sausage Making, Stuff Over 25 Lbs Meat, Breakfast, Italian, Polish, Bratwurst, Hot Dog, Pork Links, 1.2-1.5" Dia, Home Pack-1 - The Sausage Maker® High Temp Swiss Cheese 1 Lb Hi-Temp Cheese For Sausage Making, 1/4" Diced Cube, 400° Temperature High Heat Cheese For Grilling, Salami, Snack Sticks, Summer Sausage --- ## 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.hr/products/725893795-insta-cure-1-prague-powder-1-curing-salt-for-meat](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/725893795-insta-cure-1-prague-powder-1-curing-salt-for-meat) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
