First wet cured bacon (aka Pops Cure)

[mbassom]

This is my first time doing WET cure on bacon. IT came out beautiful. Salt content on the test fry was excellent.

I cured for 10 days, rested for 2 days. Smoked for 7 hours with maple to an IT of 150.

Rested another 2 days, then froze for 2 hours (to make slicing easier)

This is after the freezing (hence the ice... I really think I need to turn my project freezer a bit warmer....)

Then it all got sliced

Then Vac sealed

And finally cooked

I am too, although some feel it isn't a proper method.

I switch between Pop's and Bearcarver's recipes for bacon.

Great stuff.

We love Bearcarver bacon, that's what we use mostly, prefer it a little better.
