Bacon temp question?

[hybridcx]

So we were making buckboard bacon yesterday and around 10:30pm. It was around 142IT. Went to bed and set alarm for12:30. Alarm goes off wife goes out to unplug and the low temp alarm wag going off. Pid ran out of time. Not sure if it ever got up to 152-154. We will be fry cooking it. Not sure if this is ok to slice up and eat or if I should put in oven any bring up to 152 first? Next time I will set Pid to stop at IT. Instead of time... It very well could have hit 150's while we were sleeping I just don't know for sure. Thanks for any input.

Good lookin' bacon!!  The recipe I follow by "Phone Guy" says to pull it at 140* F.  Last batch was between 140 & 149* F.  We don't eat it without cooking.  Nobody's got sick, maybe a little full stomach distress tho.

I pull all my bacon at 140-145. Sometimes I just eat it without frying, and either I am really lucky or it's just fine.

thanks for the feed back looks like i should be good to go, still kicking myslef for not setting pid to end at IT, Instead of setting a time cut off.
