    Cure vs silver skin and fat?

    Thank you. Im curing loins for Canadian bacon. When you remove the fat for Black Forest Ham, is that just for texture preferences?

    Smoked candied salmon

    @forktender , I too would love to try your recipe! I've been smoking salmon for about 40 years and love trying new flavor profiles. And of course I'll keep it under wraps. Much appreciated!

    Cure vs silver skin and fat?

    How much fat and silver skin, if any, do you remove when curing your pork loins? Is it necessary to remove some strips of fat and silver skin to allow the cure to penetrate into the meat or is it not necessary? Cheers!

    Thinking about corning some shanks

    @SmokinEdge , I recently did some pork loins that I cured using @JC in GB 's method of adding 10% of the meat weight in water to the cure, mixing thoroughly and adding to a vac bag with the meat before going into the chamber vac. The method you describe above differs in that while his cure is...

    Smoked and Sous Vide Loin for Sandwiches

    I took @JC in GB 's suggestion of using 10% of the meat's weight in water to mix my cure which was 2% brown sugar, 2.2% salt, .25% prague power. I mixed the cure ingredients with the water then added to a vac seal bag with the meat. Into the fridge for 12 days, turning and massaging daily. Then...

    Do you guys put any cure salt into your deli meats that you smoke and slice ?

    This is the ChefSteps recipe I've ben using to make deli turkey and it uses a cure. When I make deli ham from pork loin I also use cure to give it a more hammy texture.

    If you're on the fence about trying, Sous vide

    smoking and grilling with sous vide is amazing! Pork tenderloin loin is phenomenal, ribs, butt and brisket are also great. Lots of resources online, highly recommend it!

    Is this buckboard bacon?

    I asked the distributor and he assured me that it's belly but who knows! I'll be making my own soon enough so won't have to deal with these random lean packs anymore. Cheers, @indaswamp.

    Is this buckboard bacon?

    Thanks for the input, Al. Unfortunately I haven't cooked them up side by side for a taste test as I just open a pack at a time to cook for my sandwich shop. I asked the company we get them from and was told that they are indeed bellies. However, this is 'the same bacon' from the same company...

    Is this buckboard bacon?

    These pieces circled in red look like the fatty bacon I was expecting, but everything else looks a lot more lean. Are the other pieces shoulder bacon or just from a lean part of the belly? I really have no idea! Cheers!
