Insta Cure #1 is a specialty formulated mixture of Salt and Sodium Nitrite. Nitrites are necessary to help in the meat curing process for Low & Slow Smoked/Cooked Sausages, Meat Loaves, Bacon, Hams, Corned Beef, Pastrami, Fish and Poultry. The lower than normal temperatures and longer cooking process in the food 'danger zone' (especially in smoked foods) creates a perfect environment for food borne illnesses to develop. Curing sausages and other meats with Insta Cure #1 helps "Cure" meats of that risk while also imparting preserving characteristics, developing flavor and bringing out the vibrant color of meats.
