If the rather lengthy instructions were in English,
I'd be more inclined to consider it.

Getting back to gravlax, it occurred to me that
one of my spring-loaded meat presses might be
useful for making that. Maybe I should give that
a try. It would be much easier than the traditional
approach of making it in a dish with a weight on top.

I'd probably have to use my small round press.
My big ham-shaped press would require me to clear
out half the refrigerator. I don't have a loaf-shaped
mold -- this might be a good reason to buy one.
