Hi,

Im looking for a good source of cure 2 and was hoping to get a contact in poland..im pig sick of using UK suppliers....and it's very hard to get genuine cure 2...only one source and its v very expensive. (sausagemaking.org).

Hi Northwall,
In the EU, mostly peklosol is used from what I am told.
For comparison, in Australia, Cure #1 and #2 cost approx. $ 15.00 per kilo
Cheers,
Jan.

Andre J, where have you been you rascal? Hey... I've been showering regularly - don't stay away so long!

Hey, hey, Andre J... go to our home-directory forum page and click on the Polish flag or symbol in the upper right hand corner. Click on Maxell's avatar and ask his advice. (He is a fellow moderator (administrator) in Beltachow, Poland and one of the nicest guys you can ever meet. He'll give you some straight shootin' answers about Cures in Europe).

Best Wishes,
Chuckwagon

To the best of my knowledge, Cure 2 is not known or sold in Poland (neither is Cure 1) Some commercial products contain KNO3, but I am not aware of any products that are combinations of nitrite, nitrate and salt. The formulations sold as Cure 1 and Cure 2 are based on the now archaic British weight system where Cure 1 contains 1 ounce of nitrite per pound. Cure 2 contains .64 of an ounce of nitrate and 1 ounce of nitrite per pound. This odd system is not used on continental Europe and that is why Cures 1 and 2 are not sold there.

Pozdrawiam
