sweet potato curing

[amyburemt]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had ever tried curing sweetpotatoes in a clean incubator? I have one that is large and I can set the humidity and temperature to the curing temperatures. I live in the Midwest and it's cool outside right now so it's hard for me to find a way to maintain the higher temperatures and humidity in a room to cure them and I was thinking that an incubator might work?

I've never heard of that, but I actually like the sound of it.

I have never heard of curing potatoes. Does it make them last longer?

supposedly so that you can store them longer over winter but i just wonder if it's really a necessity.

I would think they would go bad faster.

Curing sweet potatoes really does improve shelve life and flavor of potatoes. Try to store immediately after digging in a place with 70-80 percent humidity and 70-80 degrees of temperature. You will be pleasantly surprise in the improvements.
