WOW!!!  I'm with Devo.  I can almost smell them, too.  A taste would be better, of course.

Like what i see. Taste is there but needs more dry time. Look and taste again in 3 weeks.

The chorizo is a couple days from being done. Turned out real good. Getting to like the dry cured items.

This morning the chorizo is at 4 weeks. My wife said oh that taste good.

If you make a large batch how do you store it?

Is it vac bags and then freeze?

Buck

This is dry cured using cure #2 Its shelf stable and needs no refrigeration.


If you have no area that has the temp and proper humidity i would not advise not to try this. My cure chamber is with temp and humidity controls.

Rick that looks fantastic!  8)

I've been working with Suyi from Auber on a new control. He has one on the way to me now so I will start a new thread about it. I still don't have a cabinet for it yet but hopefully I pick one up shortly.
