Should work just fine and not need rinsing. Now this be for a two gallon batch of brine. I like to cook it till the temp peaks out and don't seem to want to go any higher. Happens around 175-180 or so. Once it peaks out continuing to cook just dry it out like Papa say.

Yeppers, just like ol' BW say... don't take it much past ~170°, slice thin... it's good eats!
