Critical Success Points
- • Defrost pork skin completely and keep it cold while cutting.
- • Evenly incorporate the curing powder to ensure safe fermentation.
- • Remove as much air as possible from the bag before sealing.
- • Maintain a stable room temperature (68‑72°F) during the 48‑hour cure.
Safety Warnings
- • Handle raw pork with clean hands and sanitize all surfaces to avoid cross‑contamination.
- • Keep the meat mixture below 40°F (4°C) until the curing powder is added.
- • Use the exact amount of curing powder; too little can cause unsafe fermentation, too much can be toxic.
