Title: Bacon Trial
Post by: SamuelG on November 20, 2011, 09:18:15 AM
Thanks ArnieM for your bacon post.

I had no brown sugar so I used 2 cups of regular sugar and 2 cups of Kosher Salt. Mixed very well.

2 cups on the bottom and covered with 2 more cups.

Into the fridge for 3-4 days.

I HATE TO WASTE WOOD PUCKS!

I'm running only with the SG @ 170+ in the Bradley.  I pre warmed it so that's not the issue.

Gracias.

After seeing your post, I guess it's about time to start curing several slabs.  Looks good, and I'll bet tastes better.

You use any cure or just salt and sugar?

Post by: SamuelG on December 03, 2011, 08:10:28 AM
I used no cure.  This was a first for me with no cure and i was a bit nervous about it.  So please be cautious if you decide to make it.

It turned out great.
