Making bacon
Mar 28^th, 2024 at 6:47pm

Have some nice pork belly, need to remove the skin.

Have the cure to turn pork into raw bacon.

Have the smoker to cook the bacon.

So, home made bacon soon.

Going to cut some of the raw bacon and put in freezer—have a recipe for Boston Baked Beans that calls for uncooked bacon.

Duncan Henry is a Canadian butcher and has a YouTube channel. Here he is showing how to make bacon:

Posts: 45496 Gender:	Re: Making bacon Reply #4 - Apr 2^nd, 2024 at 3:51pm OK, after removing the skin and getting rid of that via my garbage disposal on 4 legs I weighed the pork belly—928g. Just under a kilo so used 37g of cure, a specific bacon cure. That sits in a ziplock bag in the fridge for 7 days then gets cooked on my smoker. See how it goes.

Bobbie, you are overexciting yourself.

JSin has a nose for anus references and sniffs them all out.

Currently, JSin's nose is out of joint.

Put the cured pork belly in the smoker yesterday morning and 6 hours later—bacon! Even took the temp with a meat thermometer–155°F, bit hotter actually. Tasted fine.

Must check with the bulk butcher, see if I can get a bigger pork belly. That will be cheap enough so I can create really cheap, tasty bacon. Will use a rub to get more flavor.

Have a “sack sucker” so can slice then bag the bacon, keep a couple bags in the fridge.

Next project—make some pastrami, have a corned silverside in the freezer. Need to round up some spices. Been missing the New York pastrami I used to buy from the “Barossa” stall at the Central Market in Adelaide. No more!

Hmmm I could probably get a beef tongue for free at the bulk butcher.

Next real project—make a fermented meat like salami.

One of my speciality dinners is the big breakfast meals. 6 fried eggs, 4 slices of bacon, fried tomato, mushrooms, and hash browns. I bought some bubble and squeak some time back and tried to use them in the pan as well. It took a second go of bacon and eggs before I could get through the packet of hash browns. They don't seem to package 6 hash browns anymore. It is always 10.

Will slice the bacon into rashers—10mm not too thick for a rasher is it—then pack 5 rashers, vacuum pack and freeze. 2.5Kg of great bacon for say $65. Compare that to ColesWorths. Supermarket bacon is 15% water—you are paying bacon price for a lot of water!

How long to leave the belly curing?

Just read the info relating to the bag of Bacon Cure: 1 day per 500g of meat.

2.5Kg belly = 5 x 500g of belly = 5 days in the fridge with the cure.

I will likely leave it in the cure for 7-8 days—parts are thicker than others, want the cure to penetrate ALL the meat in the belly!

Will make sure to have other stuff to go into the smoker: have a big hunk of chuck steak (in lieu of brisket) will thaw it out and brine it with a ton of spices and make some insanely great pastrami! Plus a couple racks of ribs, some sausage etc and corn on the cob.

BTW—definitely buy skinless pork belly or ask your butcher to skin (and bone) it or skin it yourself—have a razor sharp knife for this and try not to cut into the meat.

A reminder: here Duncan Henry shows you how to make bacon:
