Water Cure???

bump. bump. great question! I'd like to hear about water cure results also.

I've tried watercureing several times. It definately gives you a smooth smoke, but it practically kills any flavor.

Well I sure as hell don't wanna lose all the flavor..so what method would you suggest? what's worked best for you?

They only way I know of to retain the best flavor is old school curing.

Hang to dry for a week or 2
Put them into glass jars
open the lids everyday for a 1/2 hour or so.
Do this for a couple weeks.
Then leave them sealed in the jar/s until you want to smoke 'em

For a 'gotta have it now', I microwave it for 5-10 seconds to wilt it. Then dry in a dehydrator for about 2 hours. Comes out similar to watercuring. Fairly smooth, but lacks in flavor...

yep. the good old fashioned way

Yeah dude, the water cure was invented by Torquemada during the inquisition. Everybody quit using it until Bush came back into office. Best to stay away...

Just thought I'd throw in a little political humor. If you don't know who Torquemada is, I recommend reading a book.
