Have had a pancetta in the curing chamber for ages. In the last 2 weeks, it has only dropped 10 grams, hitting the 30% mark. It still needs to drop another 85 grams to hit 35% weight loss. At the start of December it was losing 2 grams a day, and at that rate I had hoped it would be done by new year - but now it's projecting at at least another 4 months.
I'm hoping maybe the drastic slow down is a sign that its ok to pull? It's also pretty fatty, so maybe expecting it to get to 35% is too excessive anyways?
Thoughts?
