What is the 3-3-3-3 rule for charcuterie boards?<\/h3>\r\nMore of a loose guideline than a real rule, this suggests that every charcuterie board should feature three meats, cheeses, starches (like breads and crackers) and additional accouterments (like fruits, veggies, nuts, etc.). The intention is to create a balance between all the ingredients.\r\n
How long can charcuterie sit out?<\/h3>\r\nThe Mayo Clinic<\/a> suggests that a charcuterie board shouldn't sit out for longer than two hours, as that's the amount of time it takes for some dangerous bacteria to potentially propagate in the food. If you're worried about food waste, we'd recommend making several smaller boards that can be rotated in and out as they expire.\r\n
What are things to avoid on a charcuterie board?<\/h3>\r\nWhile there's nothing specifically you must<\/em> avoid, some ingredients are best served cooked and don't really work in charcuterie \u2014 like eggplant, brussels sprouts, zucchini, mushrooms, etc. There are some alternatives and exceptions (marinated mushrooms, for instance, can be quite delicious on the right charcuterie board), but it's best to avoid foods that don't serve well raw.\r\n
What does charcuterie mean literally?<\/h3>\r\nTranslated from the French, charcuterie means \"pork butcher's shop.\" Technically, the word only refers to the cured meats often served on cheese boards, but it has become a more widespread colloquialism referring to the entire board and all its ingredients.\r\n
What do you put in a charcuterie basket?<\/h3>\r\nBesides an array of cheeses and dried meats, you can add in dried fruits, nuts, jams, olives and crackers.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
