Cured Egg progress Anonymous 2016-06-14 00:40:01 Post No. 7778352 [Report]

This is my first time doing cured egg yolks and I was hoping for some guidance. These yolks are on day 9 in a 60/40 salt/sugar cure. I'm not sure on how to tell when they are ready to move to drying.

The eggs are very slightly springy if I squeeze them, like if you left some gummy bears in the freezer for an hour. if I brush away the salt/sugar, the yolks are a little sticky.

One of the people in the last /ck/ challenge did salt cured egg yolks in less than a week and they looked like they came out perfect.

I have a feeling you would eat them, but the concept seems very disturbing to me

you mostly grate it over things for a really creamy/umami/salt driven accent.

aiight I probably just didn't use a big enough container to cure 2 yolks at once. I'm gonna change the cure and start drying around thurs/fri.

I'm not sure how they were able to do it in less than a week, all the recipes I see are taking anywhere from 2 weeks to a month.

I scraped off the salt crust, patted dry and then re-buried in salt to speed it up. Also put a small fan to speed up dehydration.
