Title: vacuum sealing dry cure bacon?
Post by: turko77 on March 26, 2010, 02:03:39 PM
Wondering if anyone has tried vacuum sealing there pork bellies after putting cure on when making bacon?  just figured it would work pretty good and you wouldn't have to worry about leakage............just wondering if it's a good idea or bad?

I do it all the time, just dont suck all the air out. Hit the seal button right when the bag starts to colapse. The cure needs some air to work properly.
