    Cure- Vacuum sealing?

    I know some just wrap the bellies after putting the cure on...others leave the bellies in an air-tight container. I vacuum sealed my first bacon cure...is this ok? The reason I ask is some like to drain the liquid that results daily and re-cure daily (or add salt anyway). When I vacuum...
