Activa and cured meats

Hi,

I just got my first batch of activa and are now looking for stuff to do with it.

One thing i was wondering is can i use it to glue cured meat to other proteins?

I know some people have used it with bacon, but what about say parma ham?

Also i could think of quite a few things i'd like to glue chorizo to, any experience with that?

I know i could just try it, but i figured if someone else already has, that would save me some time and may be disapointment so thanks for your input.

Proteins bind handy dandy. Might take a few attempts, fat won't bind perfectly directly and it is easiest to start with powder application.

The most difficult one for me was bacon around a chicken breast. The first one was coming apart. The second one worked fine, I specifically made sure that every area that was lean got covered in powder. I glued duck,chicken and turkey together for "Thanksgiving " worked beautiful. Have fun and Parma should be even better than bacon for glueing up.
