    What bones do you use for Beef and Pork Stock?

    If you can get neck bones and knee bones they yield the best stock. Roasting makes a dark stock. Boiling makes a cloudy stock. Simmer the stock until the bones start to fall apart.

    Curing salmon for cold smoke

    Since I limit the amount of salt and cure the length of time is not important after about 24 hours. It can't get too salty. Allow it to dry without rinsing. Sugar and black pepper is optional. My total salt is 2% including .2% cure #1.

    Sticky substance and white mould on bacon

    I don't know exactly what makes up the white gooey sticky stuff but when I scrub  it off with a brush and allow the slab  to air dry in the fridge it doesn't come back. Most bacon is much too wet . 60 years ago slab bacon wasn't even refrigerated We just kept it on the shelf covered with a cloth.
