What is this?

If you look at the top slab, upper left corner. There is a white patch in the meat, what could that be? I dry cured for 14 days using diggingdog. Is that anything that I should be concerned about? It sure smells good.

Same thing is on the bottom slab, upper right corner. If you reverse the bottom slab the two patches line up. It's a fat seam.

Ok, well I guess i feel kind of dumb now. But relieved. Thanks!

Nice slabs!! I’ve been studying the diggingdog calculator. Did you use PP cure #1?

Thanks, Ishi! Yep! I’ve got several different slabs being cured, smoked, resting, etc. all using cure # 1/calculator for measurements. I’m planning to make a big thread of the entire process, once it’s all finished. I’m varying my smoking by time and smoke used (corn cob is blowing me away with the color/but I’ve yet to taste post smoke). My last belly is a little more than a week into the cure, so the thread should be complete within another 8-10 days.

I’ll be waiting!

I just love the color that corn cob puts on the meat. It’s beautiful.
