Canadian bacon - dry brine

Thanks, Bear!

To be pedantic, they really didn't change anything. It is still 158 (round up to 160) for instantaneous temp and 145 held for three minutes. If you look at the time/temp tables, they are both log 5 mortality rates.

LOL--It takes me more than 3 minutes to bring it in, plate it up, add sides, take pics, and sit down & start eating.

I haven't seen 160° or 158° written in years.

Yep, and the carry over heat usually means that the temp in the middle is increasing for at least three minutes.

The guidelines are pretty clear, though - it is either one or the other...
