Do I need to put the meat in plastic bags to keep it from sitting in water as the ice melts?
Thanks, Nathan
I personally have never soaked the meat in Ice Water, but there are people who do soak the meat in Ice Water & Vinegar over night!
What I normally do is place the hog in a ice chest and completely cover it with ice. Pull the plug on the ice chest and let the ice melt for 2 days and let the water drain. Just keep the pig covered and you will not have to worry about taste problems either.
