If you included cure #1 then I would say that you go have a couple of days but the meat will start turning into a cured product. The problem you have in curing inside a regular fridge (as compared to a dedicated curing chamber) is that you will dehydrate your product too fast. As twilliams mentioned, the sooner the better. I almost forgot, that you don’t have a culture so you may not be able to maintain a product which will acidify enough to kill bad bacteria (conjointly with the cure #1) but if you did the longer you keep it in the fridge the more acidic it will become so your tang would be yuk after you cook it (releasing the ECA)
first ever snack sticks
-
Made a 10lb batch of snack sticks with the Lebanon bologna seasoning mix. I used ECA instead of the sodium erythorbate in your video. I added 1 1/2 ounce of black pepper but no other changes. 6lbs of lean venison, 2lbs of lean beef, 2lbs of fat cap from boston butts. Thermal cured as described with no smoke cycle. T
hey turned out awesome.
I have a question about no water liquids. Could I use wine ie Shriaz or fruit or vegetable juice instead of the water listed?
