    Not sure about defines, but we don't add sugar and we generally don't eat Jiffy corn cake, as we call it. Also like to add pork cracklins...

    chopsaw's Boston Bacon

    That was the original intent , but It didn't quite seem right . So I cured it . This was the second one . It got roasted and sliced . That fat cap was like cracklins . Didn't get pics of the cook though . Can't tell , but that's the same thing . Fat cap wrapped around a " hunk " and tied .

    Headcheese and organ sausage

    I remember the smell of my mom burning the hairs off the head, ears, and feet before cooking them.😳 She handled everything with careful food care prep for her process. Everything had it's special place and use. Even the 'cracklins'😋. After a first initial bite, it's all good 😊

    Sausage making 101 Using fresh meats

    ...pork fat I just bought going to the sub zero for future use. The fresh skins get lightly salted and vacuum sealed to be smoked at a later time and made into cracklins.

    New Mexican style Chicharon with Red Chile

    These remind me more of a variation on Carnitas than what I've known as Chicharrones aka Cracklins. Especially if cooked crunchy on the outside, soft, fatty meaty goodness on the inside. Most Mexican Chicharrone I've eaten has been various cracklin style Pork skin with or without meat...

    Honest rating 1-10 on my brisket trim.

    ...for the flat and the flats' edges helps it out and allows for great bark. Also the beef fat renders and gets crispy and becomes... beef cracklins!!! Those things are out of this world good! If you want a lot of details on this trimming here is the full post on it...

    Brisket Technique, Fat Side Down and Up w/ QView

    ...bottom of the smoker hahaha. I don't check it as it's going but my alarms went off about 4 hours early due to bad probe placement and the cracklins were already formed and shrunk a good bit exposing the meat. My guess is that the fat renders enough early on and shrinks up enough early on to...

    Pork Rind Question

    ...dehydrate by some means, you've got to get it dangerously hot to get that effect. Really increases the chance of a fire and/or burning the cracklins. I've spent days prepping to get the best and easiest cracking skin on pork belly or pork rinds. Air drying and salting 48-72 hours in...

    Sirloin fajitas

    ...up a bit and use them for fajitas. Added the usual onions, peppers and a touch of sweet corn frozen from last summer, then topped with some shredded colby cheese. Used the fat trimmings instead of butter to fry up the veggies ( then treated the doggo with the "cracklins afterwards)Didn't suck!

    Made some beef tallow

    From one fat boy to another, why go to the trouble to render down fats if you aren't going to eats the results? Pork, chicken, and beef cracklins are GREAT IMO... My cardiologist may disagree, but he isn't on this forum! :emoji_sunglasses:

    ...of the brisket) After smoking: (see it on the foil pan? Look at how that beef fat dried and curled up and turned into amazing smoked beef cracklins!!!) Now I set up my smoker so that the bottom smoker rack is in with the foil pan on it. Then in the kitchen am working the brisket and...

    My First Canadian Bacon Cure

    Absolutely remove the skin (rind) before curing. Cured rind is mostly inedible. Baked uncured skin make what the southerns call cracklins. A wonderful treat.
