    Bacon... Here we go again...

    Given the good results of my first try at hot smoked bacon, I'm going to give it another go... I went to BJ's Wholesale Club, which I'm a member of, and got a 5.8 lb piece of pork belly... I cut it roughly in half, weighed the pieces and made a dry brine mixture for each piece. Rubbed it on...

    Dry Cure Bacon...

    You are a bacon making machine Charles. Seasoning is to your taste and possibilities are endless. I prefer a cracked black pepper covering. My wife and daughter do not like black pepper. More bacon for me.

I got all the stuff together to...

    Smoked turkey legs, greenbeans, mac & cheese

    Brined these for 6 hours. Brine was 4 cups water, 1/2 cup kosher salt, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, pepper corns, allspice, and a bay leaf. Dried them well and rubbed down with EVOO. Coated them with a good dose of a house blend. Granulated garlic, onion, paprika, black...

    Sugar in bacon curing

    There's a cold smoking forum... I think? Anyway, I've never rinsed my bellies before smoking so I can't answer that. Now the salt is the driver for the cure, so rinsing isn't going to do much to reduce salt. Sugar is too large to be absorbed like salt, and yes when used in too high percentages...

    New Member - First Bacon - Feedback welcome

    First question is,,, did you like the flavor of the bacon, I mean truly? The reason I ask is because your mix in total is about 4% salt. That’s high pretty much by any standard. Around here we seem to enjoy 1.5-1.75% salt, that’s a huge difference. However you are free to make it like you like...

    Curing pork belly for bacon.

    Thanks for the replies. Yes I found these on clearance at Cabela’s for $2 per bag. Bought 4 but barely used any. I googled a simple bacon dry cure mix and trying it. Salt sugar pepper and cure. I made bacon using high mountain brown sugar kit wasn’t impressed

    Gumbo Question - Re Roux & Possible Blasphemy

    This is my potato salad recipe; it works great with gumbo. I love green olives, but they're not for everyone and can be eliminated or subbed out for a bit more chopped pickle. Potato Salad yukon potatoes (any waxy potato), 2.5 lbs, peeled and cut into small pieces 3 boiled eggs, chopped dill...

    V Day tenderloin steak and lobster tails

    Asked my favorite wife what we were having for valentine’s day since kids were going to be out with friends. She said ground veggie soup. Fortunately we were out at least that is what I told her. I happened to be driving by Costco so said how about surf and turf. She was on board. Prime...

    Smoke day

    Well today is smoke day as it is so nice outside right now. Frost this morning but warmed up real nice this afternoon. About half way through smoking bacon but just might give it a triple smoke. Sprinkled some garlic power and cracked black pepper on the bellies. They were cured in a maple cure...

    A German style potatoe salad

    Made it for a work function tomorrow. Yukon Gold potatoes, bacon/bacon grease, red onion, vinegar, sugar, pepper, parsley. Plenty of salt from the bacon. Can always add later. Pretty tasty if I say so myself.

    First Hot Smoked Bacon

    Thanks. I really had no clue on the ratio of spices. I saw this info on a site: Black Pepper: A classic and versatile spice that enhances the savory flavor of bacon. Garlic Powder: Adds a subtle yet aromatic depth to the meat. Onion Powder: Imparts a sweet and savory balance...

    Hi, I want to make dry cure bacon, but I want to make sure I get all my steps right because it is my first time! I am a bit confused… I have nitricure which is 6.25 nitrite.
