Few quick questions on wet curing the pork loin I'm currently doing for CB..
- Once in the curing brine, do I need to do anything like turn over the loin every so often, or just leave it be?
- I'm still confused on amount of time to cure in the wet brine. The calculator I first used at Amazing Ribs said to do 4.7 days (based on my loin thickness) and add up to 20% to that..but the experts here have advised much longer - like minimum 10 days and up to 3 weeks. So, different opinions from different experts and now I'm totally confused :) PS: Even 5-6 days of meat just floating in cure is grossing out me and wife..10 days REALLY grosses us out :)
- Can I wet cure a loin that's 2 3/8'' (after fat removal) thick? I just read an old post here where the person seemed concerned about wet curing anything over 2'' - presumably due to the curing salts getting far enough into the meat.
Thanks for all the help and going easy on me for being such a total newbie to this whole process..
