Formulated for short-term curing, this curing salt is ideal for beef, fish, chicken, ham, and other game meats prior to cooking, grilling, or smoking. For even distribution, dissolve the curing salt into the brine or liquid portion of your recipe, or thoroughly blend with meat before grinding. Never taste curing salt on its own, and always follow a tested, trusted recipe. Accurate measurements are critical, as excessive use can be harmful.
