Title: Bacon weave 101
Post by: OU812 on January 26, 2010, 04:01:13 PM
I was showin CRG how easy it is to do the weave and he thought I should start a new thread so here you go. A littel insight on doin a weave, first off let the bacon come to room temp, much easier to work with and you can stretch it.

It's not difficult as long as one is shown how by a good instructor.  Thanks OU!  :D

I had 18 slices of bacon.  Luckily I had the LEM bacon stretcher to even things up  ;D  I built this on wax paper.  A few pics.

Wove in the 'backbone'.
(http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx21/ArnieMauer/BaconWeave/Weave1.jpg)

About 1/2 done.
(http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx21/ArnieMauer/BaconWeave/Weave2.jpg)

All done.
(http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx21/ArnieMauer/BaconWeave/Weave3.jpg)

Another sheet of wax paper on top.  Then wrapped in foil and into the fridge.  I'll probably be using it on Friday but couldn't wait for the "weave experience".

Remember to let the bacon warn up a little first, much easier to work with.

Post by: OU812 on January 28, 2010, 10:13:28 AM
What do you mean "hopefully the weave works" ? 

You will have no problem, I'm sure.

When your rollin the bacon around the sausage tuck the edges in as you roll and put the seam on the bottom when you place your fattie on the rack.
Title: Re: Bacon weave 101
Post by: squirtthecat on January 28, 2010, 10:22:34 AM

I have trouble cutting straight edges, coloring within the lines, etc....     My school teacher wife says I have very poor "fine motor skills". :D

I'm sure they will be fine.   Thin or thick bacon?    The store down the street makes their own, and sells it as "hotel bacon".  It's pretty thick, but it looks d@mn good!
Title: Re: Bacon weave 101
Post by: FLBentRider on January 28, 2010, 10:25:50 AM
I've done both thick and thin bacon.

The thick is easier to weave, but doesn't crisp up as well.

I use the thin most of the time.
