Question about Instacure, Is it cure #1 or cure #2? I have both, I use cure #2 for long term meats like salami and cure #1 for short term meats like jerky. I'm guessing your using cure #2 because it's long term. Thanks for the video!
@ReallySmoking4 жыл бұрын
you are right - #2. It is dispersing slower. usually this is what i recommend for everyone : amazingribs.com/tested-recipes/salting-brining-curing-and-injecting/curing-meats-safely

try to press meat and feel it- i would say al least 40 - 60 days or longer. it will be drying in fridge too , just you need to give air to go around. As always please be careful with your meat - i do not want anyone to get sick .

Thanks for master-class. Question I got is - what if I use dehydrator (box with fan which blows air or warm air) to dry it instead hanging in basement? Would it be safe ?(in terms of mold) Thanks,
@ReallySmoking4 жыл бұрын
Safe. You can put fan in basement. Most important air must circulate. But when you circulating it is drying outside faster so it could take longer to dry evenly and outside could by harder to cut. Usually drying box used for thin cuts of meet like jerky.

@@kornelkatai441 now you talking... actually there are a lot of things to follow. sadly i do not have that type of equipment or space to put that type of equipment. in the begining it should be about 75% humidity for a week , then like 65 % for another 2 weeks , keeping temp about 55 F ... this way it will dry slower , but more even . My choice was basement and i hate when it is summer and humidity is not dropping - mold is growing ... and i can tell a lot of stories, but never got to black mold - you would need to trow all away ... sorry for long answer, but you need to look for people who have that special equipment and would be able to tell you more.

Hello Sir, I made my first lomo ! Very excited. Thanks for you master class videos. For my next project I'm considering to put less salt : 1% or even 0.5% . ( But instacure as directed ). Do you think it's safe , in terms of botulism bacteria? . Thanks for all your responses.

Istacure is what you need to protect from botulism. how much salt is up to you - i would go for 1%, but if you want you can do 0.5%. Just watch how it will be drying.

I'm an old electrician and not a butcher. I see lots of salt used to bring out the moisture in the time honored way. What would happen if the product was salted and then put in a vacuum chamber to assist the sucking out of the moisture? Wouldn't this speed up the process?

it would - but are you in a rush ?? some recipes over salt product to push water out and then soak it to remove salt. Usually i plan things : salt it , keep in fridge then smoke - that's a week.

That's why you use Instacure. you could dry shorter, but meat will be too soft - at least for my taste. If you really want to try to start - start with beef jerky. You will get feel of drying meat and how it goes for you - you can oven , dehydrator for faster results.

Cut your meat in half and take a thin slice off the cutting surface. Pour boiling water over the slice. If all of it stays pink, curing is complete. If the inner part of the slice turns grey, curing is not complete yet. Hope that helps.

Can you do it without curing salt. Nitrite is not good for the health. Also in previous video you used 4 percent of salt and now 3. Why? Thanks
@ReallySmoking4 жыл бұрын
Without curing salt - you can , but not recommended. Too many of nitrites not good , but you getting them from vegetables anyway ... Salt - now I'm using 3 % in most of curing stuff and about 2 % in cooking stuff. You can adjust to taste, but do not go lower that 2% and then you would need to use injector to redistribute salt in to meat more evenly.
