Stacking Pastrami while dry curing (Vacuum Sealed)
-
I’m in process dry curing 12 pastrami flats…about 5 lbs each. These have cure #1, salt and sugar applied and are vacuum sealed. Due to other refrigerator needs, I may need to stack these in 3 groups of 4 to create more space. I’m faithfully rotating and flipping these daily and will continue to do so. Does this present a problem? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

If there vac sealed your good. I vac seal my pork bellies and I’d stack them all on top of each other if the shelf in my fridge would hold it…:( it wont; dont ask how I know
I do try to flip my bellies every few days to move the fluid around that salt pulls out of the meat, which in my mind, helps move evenly distribute my salt, cure, sugar.

Just got done doing 260# of brisket and pastrami. As long as they are vac sealed daily turning isn’t really necessary. I turn mine weekly.
