    This is what they are looking like after 8 days of dry curing.

    Oh no! My Friends @SmokinEdge and @nlife I am totally not in a hurry, I was just worried that, as they were two rather small pieces (barely 1kg the Two of them) , 14 days would be too much and I was going to "Overcure" them (if such a thing is possible).

    Been flirting with the idea for weeks🤣🤣🤣...I did not Even know It existed until I started browsing the bacon subforum. Can You recommend a good thread to follow it? Pictures of the process are very encouraging for beginners.

    So...what I cured is technically bacon, isn't it? ...aren't 14 days a bit to much of dry cure time for those strips? (see pic)

    Yeah, me too...that's why I wanted to pay a small homage to you with this thread. Navigating through the site, I've been able to see that you have helped (with great generosity) a lot of fellows to grow their confidence and jump into the pool of making quality meats. By the way, now that we are...

    Now that you mention it, I fell for the "Selling issue" with the St.Rosano Chorizo and at the beginning it was kind of exciting but, as making sausages is not my business, everytime I get a 200 or 300 chorizos order, it is not fun anymore...it becomes an obligation and somehow loses attractive...

    Already happened...I couldn't foresee the upcoming bacon shortage🥲...But from now I Will be prepared. I think (but it all depends on your very personal bacon needs) that curing a 2k slab every other week Will guarantee a steady bacon supply at Home. Thanks for the advice!

    That was a Dry cure. Haven't tried the wet cure yet. Are There any meaningful differences in the final product?

    More Columbian Santarosano Chorizo (St. Rose Sausage)

    It is curious because before getting to know the virtues of the smoking process I used to cook my chorizos in a charcoal grill (Being this the traditional method descended from heaven that most street vendors use) but after understanding smoking, I just toss them in a hot pan or my "plancha" for...

    More Columbian Santarosano Chorizo (St. Rose Sausage)

    Respected Sir...In my regionally biased opinion (and those heretical collagen casings aside)...this is the Real Deal, this is Royalty! :emoji_laughing: I am glad that you could notice the texture vs all ground version. I hope more fellows embrace the conservative St.Rose sausage...

    Hot dogs

    I'd recommend You give it a second chance. I complained a Lot with My first wieners batch but in the end I was very happy with the results. I just have a kitchen aid and a small Food processor. Here's what worked for me: ♦️Three 3mm grinds (freeze and regrind is a must) ♦️Separate lean and...
