UMAi Pancetta

I noticed you target for 40% weight loss. Since this is a fatty cut, not a meaty one like eye of round or loin, the meat component will dry more than it would in the lean cuts since the fat component has little water to lose.

The last one I did was at 35% and so good. I thought I'd take it a bit further.

I do too...just reluctant to cook a cut of meat i spent so time on curing/drying.

The ironic thing is that I just started eating pancetta without cooking it!

Then let it ride.

Many pancetta recipes (len poli's for example) are actually for a bacon-like product (dryer), not for eating "raw".

Yep. Pancetta is an amazingly versatile product. Eating it as charcuterie is a pleasant addition for me.

You will be happy with the final product. UMAi works great.

I sealed my pancetta and bresola. Both cure 2 eating with cheese and crackers.

I rolled mine, just because it looked nice, but when I do another one I'll just do it flat. Less trouble, same taste.
I've nibbled on it as is, but it's best cooked. I also like it as a pizza topping [emoji]128578[/emoji]
I'm lucky that Costco always has whole ones cheap.
Looking forward to your end result, DS.

I'll roll mine. I like the look and trussing it isn't hard. We serve this stuff when we have fancy guests.

HOW FANCY DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO BE A GUEST. 

Looks great I just need more time to try some of the things you all are always doing.

Budweiser don't go around here...

How about home brew? I have a session IPA, a petite saison, a chocolate/vanilla stout, an oud bruin, a rye pale ale, and a Flanders red ale. Any of those fancy enough?

Yeah, I guess. LOL!!! DS will have to tell you his personal preference, but the rye pale ale, or the Flanders red ale sound like an interesting match.

I live in the PNW Mecca of beer.

Depends on the season. Right now it's micros. Come hunting season it's Mega packs of canned beer.

I have beer, schnapps, cheese and crackers but i aint very fancy.
