Curing Salt: Prague Powder #1, Sodium Nitrite in Table Salt

Prague powder #1 is 6.25 % sodium nitrite in table salt, for curing meat. Shop curing salt is dyed pink so nobody takes it for table salt; ours stays white, so label the jar plainly. Pure nitrite is a poison: weigh it with care. The picture: pink curing salt, tinted with a red dye.
