This is a underrated art. Being a butcher takes a lot of skill, time, and learning what cuts are more valuable, and what your clientele like more than others. Doing the best you can to use every part of the animal without waste and taking pride in customer satisfactory in this profession is making sure these animals didn’t die in vain.

@lukestevenson7358 2 года назад

Okay so here is a solution to all the salty taste. After your 10-14 days soaking in your brine, remove it and soak it in plain water for 24 hours. This removed a lot of the salt. I smoked at 190 for about 7 hours until it hit 153 then put in the fridge and sliced the next day. Absolutely delicious!

Last summer I made 2 2 pound slabs of bacon. Basically the same process that you see in this video. The wife couldn't eat the first slab because it was too salty. So the second slab I boiled some water and through the slab in there, boiled for a few minutes then rinsed with cold water. Did the boiling for about 3 times. Then I sliced it. That was much more palatable.

I made this exactly as the video said, I used the Prague Powder since I can't easily get celery juice powder where I am, I cured for 12 days then cold smoked it with Applewood. It was perfect! I see some people saying it's too salty, but we all thought the saltiness was the perfect level. There is nothing that I would change about this video. I made a small batch to try it out and it ended up being so popular with my family that we ate all the bacon in two days. Now i've got so many pork bellies curing that there is no more space in my fridge and everyone's counting down the days for more bacon. Going to try Hickory smoke this time. Thanks guys this video brought a lot of joy!

@@jamesstanlake4064 100% agree. I don’t have the refrigerator space to brine so I rub the belly in a mixture of 2/3 brown sugar and 1/3 salt and place in a ziploc bag in the refrigerator for 7-10 days turning it each day. I then rinse the belly very good and cover it in cold fresh water back in the refrigerator overnight, drain it well and place it back on a rack in the refrigerator to dry out for at least 24 hours before final seasoning and smoking.

You two guys/brothers are top-notch professional meat butchers and honest business owners. I admire your knowledge of the butcher's profession, (i.e.) animal anatomy, carcass dissection, cuts of meat, preparation, packaging, care, etc. As for me, I could never be my own livestock butcher, inasmuch, as I could never slaughter an animal that I raised, I just don't have it in me. No, I am not squeamish at the sight of blood or normal death, and yes, I eat most processed meat sold in grocery stores, but I just cannot take an animal's life myself. (unfortunately butcher businesses can no longer be found in my area)

Sometimes slices from the flitch are sold intact, other times they are separated into back bacon and streaky (belly) bacon. It is sold either 'green' (unsmoked) or smoked; both are delicious.

Fun video. Note that celery juice powder is naturally high in nitrates, so adding celery powder to meat is simply another way of providing nitrates. In passing from mouth to stomach, nitrates get converted to nitrite.

Daisyfield peppered and cajun flavors are the best bacon I've ever had. I'm probably biased though I used to work for them!

@loiscutting1716 3 месяца назад

Enjoyed your video. I was unaware you could cure bacon without nitrates and was glad to discover such was possible. Being a butcher like you folks is a real art.

My wife barged into the room, yelling "what the hell are you watching?", saying she heard me moaning and saying "oh yes", "oh yeah". I pointed to the screen and this video.

The wife is even more of a foodie than I am. She also loves bacon, BBQ, and guns ..... sometimes all in the same place at the same time. I think this one is a keeper.

As long as you aren't hurting anyone you can do what you want with your bacon.

Many thanks to you lads from Manchester UK for putting together such an excellent and informative video . This morning i started my own cured Belly Pork today and i'm really looking forward to next week when the tasting begins . After watching your examples of curing i'm going to try your method using the Black Pepper next time . Thanks for sharing your amazing skills with me .

@berre129 Год назад

Thank you, amazing video! I definitely love bacon. I appreciate you taking the time to walk through the whole process.

@sleauxguy 2 года назад

There is something satisfying about watching a true craftsman and a well sharpened knife working in unison. My newest batch of bacon seeds are 10 weeks old and growing. When they are ready for finishing school I will be ordering some of your Black seasoning to do some of my bacon. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your skills and methods with those of us that are trying to keep the old ways alive by doing things ourselves. Stay blessed brothers.

You guys popped up during a search for making summer sausage, after seeing your videos I had to subscribe as you answer many of my questions and show me everything I want to know to be able to do this on the farm. Thank you so much for these videos, you guys are awesome and leave me hungry with each one.

i really like your content plain to the point in all your vids-i apprenticed under my uncle a master butcher for one year and although not a meat cutter by trade;i switched to auto body which ive ret,from after 40yrs-i can see the skill set you boys have and a great appreciation for what you do. i still cut my own meat and make my own sausage,ham ect.i really enjoy this ch, thank you very much !!

@twinmaples.carnivoreroad Месяц назад

Great how to video! I just put about 14 pounds of belly back in the fridge. This is from a hog I raised at home. I used 2oz. celery juice powder along with 14oz. Redmond's chef's blend smoked salt and 16oz. Himalayan pink salt. Plan on cooking some up in about 2 weeks before it goes on the smoker to get a comparison.

I am actually making bacon tomorrow for a client here in China. Alot of people are starting to look for a more healthy option of bacon rather than a factory processed bacon. Wish we could get some of the Black seasoning here to give them a new experience.

@bbarker5766 Год назад

I make the Ultimate BLT!!! Slice of your favorite bread, layer of mayo spread perfectly across the slice, then the bacon nicely placed, then layered with more bacon, then topped with more bacon, and finished off with another slice with the mayo spread nicely. Now chow down my bacon fanatics!!! 🥓 🥓 🥓

Vegans won't like bacon but phsaww to them. Despite a lifetime of eating bacon, I never knew the cut of meat it came from. Also in Australia it is mostly English style bacon. I learned that bacon was not just bacon on a cruise where they had American and Canadian bacon too. Interesting to see the curing process too thanks. Always good to learn something new.

I've been making my own bacon for years and it just never gets old frying up a batch. I love knowing what's in what I'm eating and i love how it fries up differently than store bought! I'm looking forward to trying the wet brine you did.

I know this is almost a year later, but thank you so much for this video. I appreciate that you take us from the breakdown to the eating so we have a clear understanding of what we need to get from the butcher and how to take it from raw material to "beautiful belly" and then to tasty eats. Thank you so much!

@andrewr2650 3 года назад

Scott’s hot tip about the spacer in the vacuum sealer is spot on, although a couple Tupperware lids are probably a little safer option than a Seth Perkins sharpened knife.

@Just_Pele 3 года назад

and don't forget to save that bacon fat! Frying up practically any meat with that is like heaven, and you can brush it on while you're grilling too. Nothing like grilling burgers and brushing them with bacon drippings.
