Uh oh....Did I Screw Up My Bacon???

[gitaryzt1985]

Cured my Bacon for 10 days and put it on the smoker an hour ago. I didn’t rinse it. Slipped my mind!

I know that the cure can be toxic I’ve read, so did I screw up by not rinsing? Should I take it off and rinse and put it back on?

I think I’ll just consider this belly a loss haha. Not only did I forget the rinse, I built the fire too big and the temps are about 350. I’m already at 150 on the bacon at 1.5 hours.

Sometimes you just ain’t got it lol

Don't toss it . Give one of the belly guys time to help you out .

Thanks! I’m gonna try it first, but I hear salty belly screw ups are perfect for cooking in green beans, etc.

All kinds of things you can do as long as you cook to safe temp . Try it out see how it is .
