rinsing after curing

Postby cashmkr2001 » Mon Nov 25, 2013 11:42 am

Is there a rule of thumb on how long to rinse in fresh water after brining with a strong brine (60-80%) or dry curing ? Rinsing time is 1/10 th of brinetime or something?

I just give a quick rinse under the cold tap. With the type of cures that I use I only put enough salt into the meat to get the taste I want, hence no need to soak.

Thanks Phil. I do too, for mild brines and dry cures, but I'm particularly interested in the more traditional 'hard cures'
