How to cook fat in brine at home
Not everyone has his own homebrew, so I think you will find useful advice on choosing. After all, on what quality piece you get, it will greatly affect the result.
- Choose a piece with a layer of meat and, preferably, a young pig, it is thinner and the skin is softer.
- Do not take potbelly, it is usually fatter and the fat on it harder. It is better to use for rolls.
- Not suitable for salting frozen suet. You, of course, can defrost it and salt it, but it will be tough.
- Some unscrupulous vendors trade in boar meat, uncastrated hog. Immediately the meat or fat is difficult to distinguish, but when heated, there is a sharp and strong smell of urine. You can try to warm the fat over the lighter and smell.
- It is worth paying attention to the color, if it is yellowish or gray in color, and even “with a smell” means lying for a long time, it is not worth taking it. Buy the one that is pink, with a pleasant aroma, and even better when the piglet is necked in the straw.
