Well decided to experiment in bacon making. Had two coppa roast taking up space in the freezer. I had a wellness benefit from work that paid out a $150 incentive. So I used it to buy a slicer, Prague #1, and a electric scale Off Amazon.

Coppa roast a little over 2 pounds each sliced in half long ways.

each piece weighed out in grams with the needed amounts of cure ingredients written down. Double checked each weight. I used the Digging Dog calculator recommended on here.

scale I bought. You know it amazed me how little a gram is. Got ‘em all coated up and into ziplock bags for a two week nap in the fridge. Gonna give them a twice daily massage and turn. We’ll see how it turns out.
thanks for looking.

Good Start! Everyone, here, knows that Cure #1 and 12+ Hours of Cold Smoke, Neutralizes the Cholesterol s ability to attach itself to Arteries...And...Fat Calories fall to 1 each per Kilogram Raw Weight. So, you are basically eating pure Healthy Protein only.😁...JJ
