AnonymousTo follow up on RRP’s comments…
As for rinsing prior to drybagging:
I haven’t yet and it hasn’t created any problems. I pull the meat from its cryovac bag, let any blood drip off that wants to drip off, then into the drybag. Hasn’t created any problems for me yet…
As for trimming:
As RRP said, you should try it (not trimming). We tried it and neither my wife or myself cared for it, so we’ll be trimming from now on. With that said, my wife’s sister LOVED the cooked rind…I was amazed. She was eating everyone else’s leftover rind. Moral of the story is some people will like it, some won’t. You won’t know which you are until you try it 🙂
