WIkipedia says: In the sausage industry the nitrites and nitrates are pre-formulated into a product called Prague powder #1 and Prague powder #2. Prague powder #1 contains 6.25% sodium nitrite and 93.75% sodium chloride and is used for the preparation of all cured meats and sausages other than the dry type. Prague powder #2 contains 1 ounce of sodium nitrite and 0.64 ounces sodium nitrate per pound of finished product (the remaining 14.36 ounces is sodium chloride) and is used for the preparation of Cured dry sausages. Prague powder #2 should never be used on any product that will be fried at high temperature (eg. bacon) because of the formation of nitrosamines.

Can accord powder substitute Prague powder?

No, accord powder cannot substitute Prague powder in recipes that call for curing meats. Prague powder, also known as pink curing salt or Insta Cure #1, contains sodium nitrite, which is essential for inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria during the curing process. Accord powder does not contain the same curing agents and should not be used as a substitute for Prague powder in curing meats to ensure food safety and proper preservation.
