The butt was not for bacon hunny, I used that for pulled pork...
Thats my low and slow bacon slab.
Going to be slicing today and frying off. I'll post this evening
The smaller piece of belly is for dinner today along with the butt which I am hoping to pull later (pulled pork). The belly I am going to turn into slices and finish off over the hot ash to crisp up extra. The larger piece is going to be my bacon for the month
I decided to smoke it tomorrow as I am doing a butt and asked my little brother round for dinner tomorrow. Thought I would use half of it dinner and the rest for bacon 👩🏼🍳
So after the curing period, I am doing 7 days, it should last at lest a month to 6 weeks if kept as one slab. I will be smoking it after the cure would this help with the life of the meat past the appx 6weeks you have said about?
I have looked at both the excel sheet and the diggdogfarm link and I am getting two different weights for the salt to use. I am confused as the is a 10gram difference. Pic below
Hi everyone,
I am curing some bacon today. This is probably a silly question.
My belly pork has a shelf life of August 9th on it.
Today is the 5th if Iam curing the belly to smoke for bacon, does the shelf life make any difference?
Also how much longer does the meat last after the curing &...
Everyone tucked in!!
It was a good cook and its 2.30am I think its bed time for 48 hours 😊
Thank you all so much for you birthday wishes....you are all so amazing and lovely. Bless ull xxx
Ok so I took this when I put the beef on and pork loin.
They have been on for about two hours now at 120°c the belly has been been on for about 4.5 hours now.
