I just got my pork back from the processor & I have 5 whole hams that I'd like to make into country ham. This will be my first ham making adventure.
I have the recipe for the salt/sugar cure that I want to use but the instructions say to use a 'salt box' with instuctions for making a wood salt box.
Can I use new rubbermaid type tubs instead of wood boxes? I did a google search online but none of the sites I visited suggested the rubbermaid tubs for curing.
I just think those containers could be washed out and sterilized easier in between curing sessions but I don't want to ruin all of that meat that I worked so hard to raise.
So any opinions, experiences, suggestions?
Thanks,
Kathy
