Surfy's Prague Powder #1 (Cure Number 1) Instacure (1) (250g)

I was slightly worried when I saw the size of this package when it arrived, but this is a great product, and a little goes a long way. I brine a beef brisket in a can of stout using 4 teaspoons of Prague powder and 400g table salt, along with sugar, herbs and spices. This makes the best salt beef I have ever had, and gives the traditional pink colour. A good price for the small amount used each time. The packet reseals to keep the powder clean and dry between uses.

When making Pastrami you need Prague Powder, Surfy’s is great I always use it, EXCELLENT quality and service..

I wanted to make some corned beef from a slab of beef brisket, so I mistakenly ordered the Surfy's Prague Powder #2, but discovered my error before using it. Instead, I used the #1 with a few extra spices and come up with the best corned beef that I've had. I brined the beef for six days and it came out beautifully and delicious.

Made a great salt beef with this that worked very well. Look forward to using it on other recipes.

Did the job it was meant for in my cured meats and kept their colour. Prague Powder is something you have to be careful with in terms of the amount used, but the packaging has the ratios front and center on the packet - by weight for dry curing and by volume for wet curing.

First attempt at salt beef, was perfect

I had spent hours looking online for a recipe or guide to brining a ham correctly and safely, getting more confused by the conflicting information I was reading . I found their website and used the ‘contact us’ function for some assistance on correct amounts. Paul replied that same morning with very clear, concise and simple to understand information. Super helpful guy, I couldn’t recommend enough. I will be a returning customer of Surfy’s as my journey into curing continues.

It’s Prague powder, it’s pretty pink, I’m sure it’s good.
