Capicola is in the fridge for the drying phase. It's gonna be a long wait...

I've been following this thread since its inception, have always wanted to try some of these things but I just don't have the room for a dedicated food dryer/rube-goldberg frig.
One food channel I follow, Pro Home Cooks, did this 15-minute video years ago where, once he seasoned the meat (using a vacuum sealer, or not), he just spiced the small cuts, wrapped, and then hung them in his normal frig for however many days; no extra equipment required! I can at least get my feet wet without purchasing a bunch more "stuff". Posting it here for others, and so I can find it again.

Couple of Finished Meats Saucisson Sec and Lonzino

What a bump!!
A friend's dad (French) went to see his doctor some years ago, and after doc looked at his labs, the doctor said he had to lay off the Saucisson for a bit. I don't think he's been back to see him since.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -

Looks amazing. I just made a batch of capicola ... I am trying to make them hotter than last year ... we added more spice outside, but I guess it is hard to get the seasoning to penatrate in such a big piece of meat.lkapigian said:Couple of Finished Meats Saucisson Sec and Lonzino

@Mark_B_Good Your best bet is to get it done doing the Equalization phase, if you are doing that and want more heat, do a paste like on Basturma let that dry , it will be amazingMark_B_Good said:
