My son the Chef, doing the cutting for me...
same same...
With a bit of help from DaveOmak......saved what surely would have been way too salty product....1st day washed, bathed and repacked
Dryed well and left in the Refer for about 30 hours or more to dry and get that sweet pellicule
Retained this much liquid from all the bags...
You will notice I have much smaller pieces, due to not so much room in the Refer.....anyways, after the smoking
chopped and ready to pack, vac and freeze
Ended up with 19 packages (about 12 - 16 pieces 5 inches or so long in each package)
Just some ends and pieces cut up for the wife to use for her home made baked beans this summer....
I have NOT (believe it or not) fryed up any of this yet.....haha...
Will let you know how it turns out.....I am a bit concerned that I might have over 'cooked'....my smoker doesn't get low enough still and most of this was down with 2 pieces of charcoal thrown in the box with a handful of apple and hickory chips....I only turned the smoker on a couple of times....(electric smoke hollow)
