Making Canadian bacon

[smithlen]

I have a quick question. What is the purpose of the fry test?

I have had my bacon in the brine for 17 days now. I am on my way home for the weekend and will be smoking it tomorrow.

The fry test is to see if the salt level in the meat is acceptable to you. If it tastes too salty, you can soak the loin in a bath of cold water for an hour or two to remove some of the salt.
