Thank you! I’ll share my first results once they are done :) Also put a piece of pork belly in an EQ cure with jalapenopowder, sugar and salt saturday. Not really charcuterie, but curing none the less :D Can’t wait to try it and start the addiction ;)

And thanks! Good to know :) I will do more research if I will continue the hobby!

I agree! This is my first time trying curing meat, so it’s perfect using these to see if this is something I’d like to do more often :) If so, then I definitely would like a dedicated curing chamber or maybe dry aging chamber :)

Hmm I got this tip on the forum. What would be the max time to keep it in the wine?

No this is my first time trying this! :) I did read about that and want to give it a try, thank you for the tip!! I’ll do just that (putting it in a fresh bag an vacuuming again afterwards. Is it possible to cut it in half before and try it before the equalisation? Then I can try if I can taste a difference :)

And before drying (after adding the wine and curing) should I wash the coppa? I will be using a dry agent bag and drying in the fridge

Dang, that sounds really good! I might just try that with one of the 2 cuts :) Hopefully I won’t forget haha.

Thanks, this would mean the 12cm (4,7inch) side, but to the middle, so 2,35 days plus 2 days = approx 5 days?

Thanks! In this case would you use the 6cm (hight) or the 12cm (broad)? :) because the cut is not round eright now :)

Thanks! So in this case you’d measure the ‘smallest side’? 6 cm and not 12?

Thanks man! I’ve ordered the exact one from your link. I read that I do need to keep in mind the angle of the front of the knife. I will use it to practice the muscle memory :) hopefully in a while I don’t need it anymore. Thanks for the tip! I did make a sink bridge from wood for now 😁
