It’s been a week since I prepared the pancetta. It seems to be drying nicely. It doesn’t have any unpleasant smell. Rinse with water. I sliced ​​it thinly and tasted it, and it was a little salty, so I soaked it for about 10 minutes to remove the salt. Wipe off the moisture, wrap it in cooking paper, and start the drying process. It will be ready to eat in about a week.

It’s made of wood, but it’s completely waterproof and can be used as a blast cabinet with no problems. Compared to iron cabinets, which require sheet metal welding, the hurdle is low. To be honest, I can make it with just the tools I have on hand. However, if I were to make it as is, the size would be a little large. Maybe I should shrink it to the commonly used cabinet size of 93×58? Astro Product’s
