Might I recommend never eating out in a restaurant ever again? Just sayin' you only assume how your food is being handled but even at the finest restaurants the best tool available for many jobs is your hand. Hair and skin aside studies have proven that good handwashing is superior to gloves in rega...

You might want to split your times into two columns. One for fermentation and another for drying which would apply to ground salami-type products and if you're just drying, for instance whole muscles you'd go straight into the drying phase.

alcohol might kill the majority of pathogens but wouldn't destroy any residual toxins. Alcohol and acid are just band-aids, it's better to keep them safe during the cooking, handling before serving and hold on ice when out. Personally I don't eat eggs at picnics, just too dicey.

Count me amount the supportive ranks.
