hi im from mindanao kase. I want to do business and Ive chosen selling tocino because my officemates like it. Im just curious, what is
prague powder?
Prague powder is a commercially-sold salt mixture used in preserving meat. It is generic term, not a trademarked name.
The mixture is sold dyed pink to avoid confusion in homes with table salt.
This is actually a proven recipe as my mom used to sell tocino in our neighborhood with this recipe. My mom said that he get this recipe from a government training program in our barangay.

Does anybody know what is prague powder?
Prague powder or pink salt contains 93.75% table salt and 6.25% sodium nitrite.

Hm… been looking for a good tocino recipe, I’ll most likely try this one since it’s one of the few that actually uses prague powder. Other recipes I’ve looked at call for saltpeter, which according to google is for gun powder which doesn’t sound right. For people who don’t know how to use prague powder; use maximum of 4 ounces of prague powder #1, also known as TCM (tinted cure mix), to 100 pounds of meat. So if you want to cure 25 pounds of meat, use only 1 ounce of prague powder number 1. There is a prague powder number 2 which contain more sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate, which is used more for dry curing meat, and you shouldn’t confused or get the two mixed up. I highly recommend that if you don’t know how to properly use any of these prague powders, consult a professional, or DO NOT use them.
The biggest risk of using these powders incorrectly can give you stomach cancer.
Enjoy and thanks for the recipe.
