Product information "Nitric /sodium nitrate E251 to brining 175 gr"

In the distant past there were no refrigerators and to preserve the meat 'brining ' was used . This technique is increasingly being used because it adds a specific taste to the meat.


Brine is a solution of sea salt, saltpeter sugar and water. When the meat is put into in the brine solution, it should be fully submerged.

Brine solution:

  • 3 litres water 
  • 1500 grams of sea salt 
  • 100 gram Saltpeter
  • 200 g sugar 
  • a few juniper berries 
  • black peppercorns 
  • thyme and bay leaf at will

Use:

  • Put everything into a large pan and bring to the boil. 
  • Check the salt percentage with a peeled potato. 
  • If the potato instantly sinks to the bottom, salt must be added to the liquid. 
  • Another possibility is to allow the liquid to boil, until the potato ' floats ' in the fluid . 
  • Let the mass cool down and pour it on the meat until it's submerged.
