Reveo Curing

[sodak]

I'm curious...has anyone experimented with using the Reveo to speed up the curing process for meats?  Not the marinading process, just curing faster and deeper?

Most of my curing is dry cure. I dont see where the Reveo would help any. Might be helpful with a brine. But I for one wouldn't trust it. I will stick with the tried and true inject and brine soak method myself.

Would that make you a meat soaker??? :D

I agree on the dry cure...it's most of what I use, too.  I was just out in the smoke shop last night "tuning the PID" (rim shot! ba-dump-pa-dump!) and the thought hit me when I was looking at the reveo box.

I have never used the vacuum method during curing, but there are several members that have used their FoodSaver and vacuumed sealed meat that had a dry cure applied to shorten the curing process.

If you are using a wet brine to cure, the Reveo will decrease the curing time. You will still need to prepare it as you would for normal brining. If it is a large (thick) piece of meat, you will still may want to inject. You would also have to ensure that the meat in the container remains fully submerged.

How much faster it will cure, I can't answer that.

I have 2 8lb briskets that are destination:Pastrami. I don't have any 3 Gallon bags, so I am going to try to cram them in a vac seal bag and seal away.
