Salt-treating the meat
Curing is the process of preserving or preparing something through treatment.
Meat and fish are cured with salt, smoke, or chemicals to prevent spoilage: home-cured bacon, cured salmon.
Concrete cures as it hardens and strengthens over time.
Rubber cures through vulcanization.
Tobacco leaves cure by controlled drying.
The word also covers the process of healing: The doctor is focused on curing her patients.
