    12lbs of Smoked, dry rubbed bacon!!!

    I understand, that is why I have chosen to work with you to figure out my own Bacon Cure because it was horrible. I had to soak it as I said for like 4 hrs just to get it edible. I do NOT like a lot of salt flavor in any of my foods and the salty bacon wasn't great to start out. Thanks, Tony

    12lbs of Smoked, dry rubbed bacon!!!

    My apologies, I didn't ignore your question. I fell off this for awhile as I usually do in the late spring and summer because I typically only smoke pork butts and ribs during those months. When the colder weather comes around in the fall I start my bacon again. I don't have a lot of notes...

    Making Homemade Vanilla Extract

    Well the holidays for the most part are over so as I have caught up on life, another project to try. I'm confident that this will turn out well and if REALLY good I might have a couple of Christmas gifts for 2018 for a few people that make the list... I purchased 1/4 lb. of the Tahitian beans...

    Christmas Eve Tradition

    Oh heck yeah...when I lived in NY we use to go to the Polish Home (like a VFW) for dinners where the ole polish women hand made them. My mom and dad moved a few years ago and before they did they use to make them by the 1,000's for dinners.......

    12lbs of Smoked, dry rubbed bacon!!!

    Hey thanks....I've been smoking a lot of meats and finally got brave enough to do some different things, or just more confident....I am going to use cure#1, kosher salt and white sugar. What some guys do is after they remove from cure, pat dry and then season with SPOG and let sit overnight or a...

    12lbs of Smoked, dry rubbed bacon!!!

    Thanks to the help from Bear and DaveOmak I've had a successful stint on making bacon.. Very excited for the next smoke and trying my own personal rub next time rather than the commercial one I bought from Walton's. It was good, but too salty as many know. My only saving grace was soaking it...

    Making Homemade Vanilla Extract

    Ray, Thank you so much for breaking it down. It might have been awhile and you might not recall but do you remember how many beans cam in the 1/8 and 1/4 lb bundle from saffron.com? If not, all good....I would like to get just enough to do a 750ml bottle to start and then give my parents some...

    Making Homemade Vanilla Extract

    Ray, Thanks for the reply and guidance. I haven't bought anything yet so I'm just trying to get my numbers / calculations down so when I pull the trigger I get it right. If I follow you, the 24ozs is just shy of 750ML which you'll probably get there when you pour the head out to make room for...

    Making Homemade Vanilla Extract

    Morning, Not sure how I fell into this thread but I LOVE Vanilla as well. I'll take plain vanilla ice cream for example over ANYTHING else... a good one that is... So I would like to make my own Vanilla extract. Must I use 1/4 lb of Vanilla Bean in a 750ML bottle of 70-80 proof vodka? I read...

    Bottom Round for Roast Beef Sandwiches

    I think many people on the forum have good things to say about the Chef Choice 615. Being a novice is OK we were ALL there once...Heck I am still bugging people here for directions on stuff because as I am successful with one thing I want to do another...

    Bottom Round for Roast Beef Sandwiches

    I just bought it last Friday and have only used it once for the roast beast. I have about 12lbs of bacon that just came off the smoker (will post another day) so it will get some work. My plan is to smoke a boneless ham over Christmas/New Years for cold cuts.... I got that berkel for an...
