Bacon - first attempt
« Reply #-1 on: May 17, 2016, 02:49:26 PM »
I saved from the Mother's day Pork Belly Cook, 2 x 1.5 lbs pcs for making bacon. I followed Amazing Ribs recipe and must say I was very happy with the results.  The belly was cured for 8 days and then smoked for about 2.5 hours. It doesn't really taste like bacon but almost similar to ham or Canadian Bacon.   Had some eggs and bacon for breakfast today and it was yummy.  I really do not eat much bacon so I need to find some ways of incorporating it with other dishes, perhaps salads, burgers, etc.  Making bacon is really easy so try it!

Nice! Good to get your feet wet in making cured meats.

You may want to look at our Charcuterie section - the recipes in that are all top notch. My favorite thus far is the Cider Mill Bacon. Absolutely the best bacon I have ever tried....

Yup me too, I'm too lazy lol. I just recently discovered Wright brand bacon in the store and it's probably the best I've had. 350 degrees in the oven for 20 minutes

Nice job!

My guess is the reason it taste more like ham/Canadian bacon is that is one gorgeous, very meaty hunk of pork belly... and boy would I love to try a few slices of it!
