Insta Cure #2 is similar to Insta Cure #1 but with the added ingredient, Sodium Nitrate. Nitrates break down over time into their less complex, meat-curing chemical Nitrite (similar to 'time-released' medicine). This extra time allows the curing action to continue for longer periods, which is why this Cure is used for dry-cured products that need a prolonged period of time for aging and/or drying. This is especially true for recipes like pepperoni, hard salami, Genoa salami, prosciutto hams, dried farmer’s sausage, capicola, and more. It is formulated for recipes that do not require cooking, smoking or refrigeration to continue their shelf-stability.
