Which option is NOT a wet cure method?

Wet cure methods rely on curing agents being carried by liquids into the meat or distributed through moisture. Pumping injects curing solution directly into the tissue, submersion lets the meat soak in a curing bath, and tumbling or massaging mixes meat with curing liquid to improve contact and penetration. Drying, by contrast, uses surface application or dehydration without introducing curing liquids, so it is not a wet cure method.
