Curing Bacon....in the Curing Chamber?

[IkeO]

I was wondering. When curing bacon it always says to store it in the fridge for x amount of days. Could it also be kept in the curing chamber at 55 degrees?

I am always hurting for room in my fridge and was just wondering if there was anything that would be ill advisable to curing bacon for a week at about 55 Fahrenheit.

Thanks.

No that is too warm at this stage. Needs to be between 3 and 7 degrees Celcius

4C is as high as you should go, any higher there will be problems
