Thank you, Jan for taking time to be of encouragement! I’ve been making cured meats for years but the OLD fashioned way. This is like a “Smart phone” to me and the learning curve is steep. Yes I worry a lot…with the OLD way…if we did not follow directions TO THE LETTER and work like heart surgeons, someone could get very sick or worse. At 70 yrs of age, I take everything VERY litterally…so if it shows a photo of tightly adherring casing…that is what I expect. I also answered you via e-mail, so if you get more than one response, that is why! Thanks again….a Coppa will be my next project….did you cut your own???

“Doc”
I have been using these bags for a number of years with great success with Coppa, Bresaola and some northern European tasting morsels.
I don’t vacuum anymore but use the appropriate size elastic stretch netting. It works every time with great results.
You worry too much. I did in the beginning as well.
Just keep on experimenting!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers,
Jan.
