My latest charcuterie projects
 

Pulled these from my curing fridge today. They felt ready. Maybe could've dried a little longer, but it's a new curing fridge that I'm still learning how it's going to do. Removed from the cases and vacuum sealed to equalize for a few weeks. Then it's to the slicer. :dr

The smaller one in the back is a lonzardo, loin/fat cap. The one in the front is a coppa.

Dang, looks great bob :tu

Wow. Gorgeous.

I probably don't have the time or 3rd fridge for it, but can you recommend a book or site on a how to?

Look for "Charcuterie" by Brian Polcyn and Michael Ruhlman, the revised edition. Fixes some errors in the initial release.

If you're on FB, look for a group called The Salt Cured Pig. Great resource.

This blog got me started - http://curedmeats.blogspot.com. It hasn't been updated in a while though, but has really good info. Was the basis for making my own curing fridge.

I own this one.

When you come to San Diego next month to visit, you can borrow it indefinitely.

Yup, that's the one. A great introduction without a big investment is bacon or pancetta. Both can be done in a regular fridge.

Okay, now THIS is what I am interested in getting into next. Curing!

What kind of curing fridge do you have?
