IT for bacon question.

[Bigbirdoffroad]

I just ordered some bacon cure from The Sausage Maker and the directions say to bring the IT to 127-128 degrees. I see others on here bring their IT to the 150-155 range. Why is that?

I take mine bacon to 132-135.  That is considered uncooked pork and you need to fry it.  I consider 155 fully cooked and you can eat it as is.

Well 140- 145 is safe to eat and the way I always do mine. Also quicker to fry up. 130-135 still raw and needs cooked.
