OH MY GOSH!!!! THANK YOU!!!! Thank you for doing this with a non-pink cure method like the EcoCure product (which I didn't even know existed)! I'm not so much concerned with nitrates/nitrites as I am with the red dye put into prague powders, as my son is allergic to artificial dyes. Now I don't have to worry about getting my numbers wrong with making my own cure from saltpetre and table salt, or making the risky decision to not use anything at all and hot-smoke everything! Got EcoCure #1 and #2 on order! Thanks again!

Merry Christmas to you and yours Eric. Onoce again another fantastic video. I have been making bacon for a few years now with great results. I find simple is better salt brown sugar pepper and cure no.1. My last batch I doubled the brown sugar by accident, calculation error. And it turned out fantastic as well. A sweeter product that I will definitely do again sometime. This is the first I heard of eco cure. Nitrites are something I have never worried about after watching your video on them. My question to you is, which cure do you prefer in processing bacon? Cure no.1 or eco cure? Thanks Eric cheers.

@tpcdelisle Год назад

Another great video Eric. Two questions: I have the Smokin-It #3 Digital and love it. Do you find a need to control the humidity in the smoker for bacon or sausages, ie. having too much moisture since the cabinet is so tight? Second question is, do you find much of a taste difference using the Eco cure vs cure #1 ? Thanks again.

@2guysandacooler Год назад

There's only been a few times when I though there was too much humidity in the cabinet. I tried to smoke 45 pounds of andouille at one time and my smoker was jam packed. I ended up having to open the door a bit in the middle of the cook to help dry out the sausages, then it was fine. I did notice that ecocure didn't give the meat that typical cured flavor like using cure #1

@walterontario2420 Год назад

The Sausage Maker advertises it as not containing synthetic nitrites. But does it contain natural nitrates or nitrites? After all celery extract is used for it's nitrite properties. Rosemary is high in anti-oxidant properties but what is in the other ingredients?

@rk.8220 Год назад

Just wondering if you are familiar with smoking by addition of liquid smoke on the surface? Not neccessary with browning effect - just to add falvour and taste and then all you need is to dry it in the smoking chamber. Works fine - I can tell.

did you let it cure with the instacure in it, or did you wash it off immediately. If you did let it cure I would say toss it and start over. You would have only needed 1 tsp if it weighed 5 pounds.

Celery powder has naturally occurring nitrite. It's an "organic/natural/nitrite free" marketing scam.... 🙂

@josephmarciano2584 Год назад

Many thanks Eric for your hard work and the time you spend reading and answering all the comments/questions. This is a 100% 1:1 replacement for Instacure #1? According to The Sausage Maker, " . . This product has not been FDA or USDA approved and is not yet recommended for processors because of this fact . . " I get it how Celery Powder can get the job done with its naturally occurring Nitrites. Wish a Chemist would jump in here and explain how the botanical molecules can replace the Nitrite molecules in Instacure #1. Rosemary has naturally occurring Nitrites? Man, I am confused. I've been curing meat for 10 years with Instacure # 1, and I could have just added Rosemary instead?

@2guysandacooler Год назад

Hey Joseph. This is certainly a 100% replacement. It's not quite 1:1 it's more like 1:4 but the end result is the same. FDA currently only approves synthetic nitrites/nitrates (E250, E251) so anything else (celery powder, beet root powder) used to "cure" meat is not approved. So technically unless you are using E250 or E251 (sodium nitrite or sodium nitrate) you cannot call your meat cured. With that being said we both know that beet root and celery powder both contain nitrites and nitrates so they will effectively cure your meat. Here's where things get interesting. EcoCure #1 is the first nitrite alternative that can effectively cure meat as well. It's a very exciting product as the properties used to cure meat do NOT come from nitrites, they come from polyphenols and antioxidants. Ecocure uses polyphenol rich extracts from citrus, rosemary, and a few other ingredients (possibly pomegranate and bear berry) to create a truly nitrite free curing agent. Although the FDA would say it has to be labeled as uncured if it's sold commercially. There are a few companies using this product in the UK and Europe. Look up the bacon called "Naked Bacon". In the US a company called Pederson's is using a product like this and if you look at their label, you will notice that there is no asterisk after the claim "No Nitrites or Nitrates Added". The FDA requires by law for companies to put an asterisk next to that claim when "natural" ingredients that contain nitrites are added. Here's a link to their bacon product: pedersonsfarms.com/products/no-sugar-added-hickory-smoked-uncured-bacon-4-pack#gallery-1 I plan on making a full-blown video on the ins and outs but it's a great (albeit expensive) nitrite alternative.

@anthonyrstrawbridge Год назад

When I was seventeen I had this amazing opportunity to hook up (via a friend) with this CU Health Sciences student- older woman. Anyway, after making myself generally annoying but persistent like a mosquito she whipped up this big BLT Club avocado sandwich then chopped into bits with a big butchers knife and tossed it on top of a big green salad bowl. She just said, " Here". It was the best and I just had to have more. Next week comes along and after school I'm heading over there because I know she's gonna be studying and she's just to damn nice to boot me but on the way I got in caught in a pretty damn nasty trap. I was just cruising along enroute with one planned stop at the liquor store for the then preferred wine cooler spritzer when I happened along this Nissan 300ZX sports car doing 25 in a 30. I passed it at 30 mph only to arrive in second place at the stop light ahead having the Aurora PD ahead and this 300ZX sports car behind. A bald headed guy jumped out from behind and went up to the officer yelling, " He tried to run me off the road". ( Nothing could be further from the truth). So the officer comes up to my window and orders me to pull of to the side - drive over to the right and then demands, " Give me your driver's license right now." So I start pull my I'D from my wallet and peel away the adult 21 yoa overlay perfectly placed on top but the officer got suspicious. Next thing know he's reaching in grabbing my hands and dragging me out into the road. So then he handcuffs me puts me in his car and tears my vehicle apart. After not finding anything he books into jail and impounds my car. He had my current legal driver's license registration and insurance ( not to mention no crime had been committed) but they jail me take my body fluids mug shots and charge me with impersonation. At this point I should be thinking," These people are impersonating human beings". But, they had beat me down to the point of being guilty and when I called my dad for help he backed them up. I wasn't able to finish school, they kept my car, I couldn't get a job, mom and dad turned their backs. It was nearly a year later that they dismissed all charges on the condition that I plea guilty to driving recklessly ( which never occurred). SWINE!

My reading on various natural "Nitrite Free" products indicates that the chemical makeup of these natural ingredients convert to nitrites during and/or after processing. Often making the foods in which they are used more nitrite rich than the traditional use of cure#1. Please comment.

@2guysandacooler 2 месяца назад

The nitrite free products that you are reading about are basically nitrites derived from vegetables. This actually has no nitrites and uses polyphenols to cure the meat.

@mattengerman8681 Год назад

Was it really crispy? I’ve tried bacon with and without nitrites and the end result is never crispy 😢

@2guysandacooler Год назад

If you listen very carefully when I bite into it, you can hear the crispiness. It comes down to the thickness of the slice (or at least that's what I've noticed). The thinner the slice the crispier it will get. Also cooking it low and slow keeps from burning it

@paperburn Год назад

put a 1/16 of an inch of water in your pan first then fry your bacon as you normally would, the water delays the cooking just enough to make very crispy bacon

@MichiHenning Год назад

What are the ingredients in the cure?

@2guysandacooler Год назад

I'll give you a teaser. This product doesn't use nitrites to cure the meat it uses polyphenols and antioxidants. Polyphenols are extracted from an assortment of Mediterranean herbs and fruits (called PRE's or Polyphenol Rich Extracts). The actual ingredient list is proprietary but from what I can gather it has rosemary, citrus, probably the bearberry, and a few other polyphenol rich ingredients. The end result yields a nitrite free product that's protected from food borne pathogens

@MichiHenning Год назад

@@2guysandacooler Thank you Eric for the explanation! As far as I know, there are two reasons for using nitrite. One is that it imparts a particular flavour that is typical for nitrite-cured smallgoods, such as ham and bacon. The second reason is that it reduces the risk of a Clostridium botulinum infections. Do we have any data to show how this cure compares to ordinary Prague powder #1 with respect to botulism?

@2guysandacooler Год назад

yeah. the scientific tests that have been conducted show that at a 1% dosage it effectively inhibits the growth of C. botulinum. The research indicates that it could actually do a better job than using nitrites in that regard. As far as flavor, the ecocure #1 doesn't impart that typical cured flavor that you usually get with bacons and hams.

@wesmerald 2 месяца назад

I realise the legal liability 2 Guys would face if food safety practices weren't recommended but, if cooking, at the temperatures at which bacon is fried, kills microbes and de-nature botulism toxins, why use nitrites or "natural" cures at all? I plan to make my own bacon without any preservatives whatsoever. Just brown sugar and a very tiny amount of salt in a dry rub, cured in a refrigerator for a week, rinsed, pellicle formation for 24 hrs in the fridge, cold smoked for a couple hours, then sliced and frozen. For consumption, enough would be thawed and fried at one time for individual servings with no leftovers - so no new toxins forming during leftover storage I fail to see any risk at all. Note: I didn't say any potential risk, I mean no risk if prepared and eaten as described, even if teaming with e-coli, salmonella and botulism spores and toxins before cooking; after cooking should be 100% safe. I'm I wrong?

@QueenOfArabianSea 10 месяцев назад

Big fan of yours. But this video has quite a few mistakes. I have been semi commercially smoking bacon for over 10 years now. 1. I don't think you can over cure a pork belly. 7 to 10 days for curing. 2. 2g of Cure #1 per kg of meat. 3. Leave the skin on while curing as it controls the saltiness of the bacon. After smoking the skin comes off easy and can be used for flavoring soups and other dishes. 4. Always dry your belly in the fridge after curing to develop a pellicle to which the smoke adheres perfectly. Wet belly doesn't smoke well. 5. 500g of salt to 200g of dirty brown sugar plus anything else you want to add. This is the golden ratio.
