Received product in good condition and record time. Great for my homemade summer sausage. First time I used it, all the raw meat turned gray after the addition of the powder, but this is natural. After heating, it will turn reddish again, and will keep very well.

This product can also be used to cure a pork loin into Peameal bacon or real Canadian bacon which is what I purchased it for. the seller was very helpful in resolving a delivery error.

The product was exactly what I ordered and arrived on time. I especially enjoyed the radical packaging and friendly note! Highly recommend!

Used it for making corned beef and pastrami with excellent results. It'll take me a while to go through the whole 1lb bag, but when I do I hope this vendor is still in business...

The product was shipped very quickly & as described. I would highly recommend this seller... THANKS!

The seller sent it well, packaged and protected. I used it for my first batch of sausage in casing that I have ever made, using Rytek Kutas's book on sausage making. The salts did exactly what was described - the meat turned red when cooked, then settled down and now is an amazing sweet sausage that all my friends are raving about. This seller is awesome, and produces a great product. Thanks so much!

This was not exactly what I was expecting, but it'll do. The problem is that this is not the same potency as the Instacure #1 I bought from Sausagemaker.com or what is the standard as given in the book Charcuterie: The craft of salting and curing (something like that). The pink salt I bought from Sausagemaker (and what is spec'd in Charcuterie) will cure 25 lbs of meat with 5 teaspoons of pink salt but this one says to use SIX teaspoons to cure 25 lbs of meat. So, it is 20% less concentrated than the others. Not a huge difference, but enough to keep it from getting 5 stars on the review.

First time sausage maker. The product came on time and as described above. We made about 25 lbs of smoked sausage. The cure worked and tasted great. We will be using this bag for a long time.

I gave feedback for this vendor and accidentally set it to four stars, should be five. The product arrived promptly and packaged very well. I used a bit of it to make some pastrami, and that turned out fantastic.

The delivery was a little late due to the bad weather in the south east that week but my order was complete and it came with a good explanation of why it was a bit late. I appreciate the apology and explanation that came with my order!
Thanks! Bob O.
