Nine days ago, I made my first attempt at curing coppe. Tonight I pulled them out of the cure, stuffed them in casings, and hung them out to dry (after a little mold spray). I had a fit trying to squeeze every last bit of air out of the casings. After 30 mintes, I said "Good Enough" and tied them up. If anyone has advice on how to improve this procedure, I'm all ears. Here we have added two coppe (one hot, one traditional) to the Saucisson Sec. Happiness is a full curing box!

What type casings are you using? All I can offer is to make sure they're tight as you can possibly make them. Then, prick out all the air, beware the squirting liquid.
I am using 90mm collagen casings. They are fairly thick. I tie the casings as tightly as I can, but I still end up with a few small pockets that I cannot get out. Do you succeed in getting *all* of the air out?

No, there are always pockets. Mostly around the ends. In particular, the top, no matter how tight I can get it.
