    Dry Cured Capicola Using drysteakbags

    On 8/15/13 I put a 1,899.42 gram money muscle in a ziplock bag with the seasonings & curing salts. On 8/22/13 I put it in the dry bag and vacuum sealed. On 9/18/13 it weighted 1,320 grams and had reached its target of 30% or more weight loss. I have had really good luck with these dry bags...
