    First Attempt at Bacon

    The Torygraph's bacon recipe is even more gung ho in their use of saltpetre than the Guardian's. It prescribes using 1/2 tsp in it's recipe http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/recipes/10173951/Home-cured-bacon-recipe.html

    First Attempt at Bacon

    Thanks for the info Wade. I also came across this last night http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/a/curing-salts-for-sausage-making From reading your info and the link above, it does seem that nitrate on it's own is the wrong product for curing bacon. So it looks like I'll have to get myself some...

I (kind of) followed the brisket recipe from the Big Bob Gibson book, of a wet rub of Worcester Sauce...

    How Did You Hear About The UK Forum

    I think it was either from searching for British butchers that sold American cuts of meat or for what the equivalent British cuts were called.
