Hello. I'm in Mississauga Ontario. Can anyone recommend where I can buy the various cure's that are popular in the recipe's here. I'd prefer a store to a website if possible.
I can't help you with Canada locations, but Buffalo, NY is about 2 1/2 hour drive; a little under 100 miles. In Buffalo you can visit Sausage Makers. Maybe you can make it a day trip, and cut through Niagara Falls on your way.
Here is there address:
The Sausage Maker, Inc.
1500 Clinton St, Bldg 123
Buffalo, NY 14206-3099
8:30am - 4:30pm EST, Mon-Fri

Hey there
Cures in the Toronto area is a challenge
You cannot get Mortons here, at least that I am aware of. I have looked everywhere
Cross border shopping trip could be in order here. Tops carries it in Niagara Falls NY
The other cures ( flavored ones ) you can get from Bradley or one of their dealers. I use Halford in Alberta
Yes you have to pay shipping but no sales tax and a decent discount seem to offset the shipping
Hope that helps
You could check these folks out.

Hey! I'm in Montreal, same thing here, can't get cures in the stores. I went to a farmers market in town and one of the guys that makes sausages gave me his local supplier and a small container of "Nitrite Salt" to get started.

be careful - a few butchers around here sell that and it is not a direct substitute for Instacure #1 if you are following recipes. i believe it's like a Readycure or Tenderquick which has significantly less sodium nitrite.
i'm not an expert on curing by any means, but be sure to research this before following any recipes which call for Cure #1.
I buy all of my cures from JB's

Hey have you tried this? Malabar spice (http://www.malabarsuperspice.com/s_cures.htm)
I recently ordered some cure from these people and they were very helpful and they even had a chemist on hand that called me personally to make sure all was going to be safe. My order arrived within two days of processing. I am about 5 hours north of T.O. so you could probably drive there to pick up your order.
I agree with Monty. Find out what is the composition of the cure. Nitrite salt sounds like either pure sodium or potassium nitrite, which is used at a rate of 1/4 ounce per 100 pounds of meat, as to cure #1 which is use at 1/4 teaspoon per pound.
I bought my cure from the butcher shelf at Highland Farms.
Thanks for the concern guys. I did call the supplier before using it and it`s a 6.4% mix, close enough to cure # 1.

Suggest you try La Baron's in Mississauga.
They have a good selection of "goodies".
Also,pucks are only $14.95 per box.

I`m sure that LeBaron does not sell cure.
Cure in Canada is a controlled substance. That is why it is hard to get here.

Le Baron sells the Bradley branded cures only

This is the exact problem I ran into getting my hands on cure. A forum member here is a chef and was able to order it in from a supply company but it's damn near impossible to get for the average consumer.
being in Toronto I did stock up on MTQ during my various stateside visits
I have been using the Bradley cures and the maple one is very good
Back in February / March when curing salt was in the grocery stores with legs of pork and what not and I stocked up.
I vacum seal the package and store it away in the fridge
So far so good.
I also bring some stuff in from Alberta from butcher supply house
You can find it of you really want it. However it can be a bit of a challenge
Here is JB's address, whom I buy all of most of my supplies.
When I'm in the US I order from US suppliers (a lot from Cabela's) and have it shipped to my US home and then I carry the goodies back to Canada.

I get my Cure #1 at Highland Farms from the butcher counter. I go to the store at Kennedy & Midland in Scarborough.
these guys are out west but ship anywhere, they have it all including high mountain cures and thier own mixes which are really good as well, I'm only 2 minutes from them and can vouch, I'm sure Quarlow will to
