All pink tinted cures have the same sodium nitrite concentration, which is 6.25%. Prague Powder # 1, Insta-Cure, Modern Cure are all the same.

That price is kinda high. You can get it at butcher & packer for ½ that $2.50 for 1#.

Yes Prague #1 is the same as Instacure#1, also commonally known in the butcher shop as 6.25

So when I bought the cure he told me it was Prague #1 and it indeed had 6.25% sodium nitrate but he sold it to me in a clear plastic deli tub. I called back today to be 100% sure what I have and the guy started getting a little worked up on the phone. All I asked was if it indeed had 6.25% sodium nitrate as I wanted to be 100% sure what in fact I was adding to my food. He started tellin me he has made hundreds of thousands of pounds of sausage and never had a problem. I think he thought I was questioning what he was doing when in fact all I wanted to know was how to safely use the stuff I just bought from him.

The guy on the phone was relaying to me what the actual sausage maker was yellin in the background. He told me that it is Praque powder 5-200 and to use it safely use 5oz to 100lb of meat. Would that be the equivalent to Cure #1???
