Qiuck question on my next bacon

[schneep]

Would i be better off to vac seal after applying my cure?  Last time I just put into bag and expelled most of the air by straw.

I never have, yet, but am thinking I might give it a try.    Would have to be carefull though not to suck too much of the cure into the machine.   That might gum it up

I did this when curing a brisket flat for pastrami.

I did not notice and significant benefit, it did not shorten the curing time.

I am on the same boat as FBR.

Also I can buy a big roll of plastic wrap cheeper than a roll of vacume bags.

I'm just sayin.

I haven't Vac sealed my bacon as of yet. But like mentioned above. Ziplock bags are cheaper than rolls of vac bags

Thanks all, I will be going the bag route, have 22 lbs of bellies to do.  The first 20 lb batch didn't last very long, dammit   :) ;)
