Saltpetre Highest Purity Food Grade - 500g for Curing

ran some tests and the purity was better than expected, very good and will buy again

Curing. Yes. That’s what I used it for. Definitely not for making a very dark (almost black, some would say) powder. It was very good at “curing”. Wink wink.

I bought this a few months ago and only now has the weather cooled sufficiently for me to attempt curing. I added .5g of saltpetre per kilo of meat for bacon, put it in a plastic bag with additional salt and spices and left it in the fridge for 10/11 days. After that I removed it from the bag and let it dry a little hanging in a muslin cloth for 5 days. When I cut into it it was an attractive pink colour and it fried up nicely. I use it as a flavouring for beans and stews or bolognese sauces.I rate it 10/10: would highly recommend. But make sure you get good kitchen scales to measure it out and research online for ratios of saltpetre to meat. A little goes a long way.

Really good for making fire starters, i dunked cotton balls into a mixture of melted wax and a few teaspoons of saltpetre and it worked great. Will be buying again

It's always a bit worrying when a bag of white powder gets posted through your door....but on this occasion I was able to explain to the police that my wife was trying to frame me and it was merely a bag of curing salt for my homemade corned beef.We laughed all the way to the local prison where I spent 24 hours in custody whilst they ran tests on the white powder. I was eventually allowed home to eat my salt beef sandwich and divorce my grass of a wife. All charges were dropped. Snitches get stitches.

used for curing

I use this every year at Christmas and I recommend the company that supplies it. Good price and delivered on time.

Looks like very clean product packing how ever very bad in leaking bags ! Needs a container guys ! And better weights need 1/1.5kg options bar that looks fantastic can't wait to get started
