Salt pork will last 2-4 weeks with a 2 day curing in the fridge. If drained and cured a second time, salt pork can last 6 to 12 months in the fridge or a cold area. Thanks for dropping by, I’ve been passionate about meat curing for around 20 years now.
Correspondingly,Do you have to Rinse salt pork before cooking?
Some commercial salt pork comes pre-rinsed, though, so it will have much less saltiness and can be cooked as soon as it is unpackaged.

When using a brining solution made up of ¾ cup of kosher salt, ¾ cup of sugar, 1 cup boiling water, and 1 gallon of cold water, brine chops and roasts for 12 to 24 hours. A whole loin should be brined for 48 to 72 hours. Can you brine pork chops for 2 days?
Herein,Is salted pork different from Bacon?

Is it OK to use too much salt when brining pork?
This is a good rule to follow. While under-brining won’t have a negative effect on foods, over-brining can be disastrous. Either using too much salt or brining for too long will leave you with a cut of meat that is too salty to eat. Don’t worry about the full cup of salt–that’s only 1 tablespoon per cup of water.
