I moved into an apartment next to a Karenus tree. I was there for quite a while, but a few months in me and the tree (I'm mango, myself) started talking. My parents warned me but I didn't listen. We moved to a suburban area, y'know, really started planting our roots. Pollination season, etc, from there, two beautiful little hybrids started to grow. Work was getting stressful, I turned to drinking. (I never was abusive.) My wife got upset and started getting really toxic and controlling, manipulative, and just kinda crazy. One day, I woke up and everything was gone. That god damn Karenus tree. She took the kids, half my money, and many of my possessions. My parents were right. Karenus, if you're reading this, please, just let me see the saplings again. I miss them.
God damn this is a lot of likes go to (not actually gonna link my site, that'd be garbage behaviour, my bad) and buy my fucking shit But yknow what better than my shit? B roll...
I feel like an important, often-overlooked step in bacon preparation is having at least one bourbon during the process. Not enough bacon manufacturers drink bourbon while they make it, and it shows.
@@venomf0 Chewy is not bad, try it. and even if you find it dull make it on vinagreta (vinegar, oil, oregano, chilli flakes, parsley, hard boilde eggs, and others you like).
Me: Homemade bacon I should try that. Video: It will be quit simple. Me: ok Video: let it rest for 7 days. Me: All right i’ll just buy the usual $5 bacon in the store.
My butcher sold me 1 kg (= 1.000 grams) of curing salt for like 2 Euros. So if I did my math right, based on the measurements from this vid, I have enough curing salt for... 416 kg of pork??
I learned how to make bacon from an old time butcher. You don’t need those exact measurements. He taught me Kosher salt, light brown sugar. I now add dark brown sugar. Way more flavor than regular white sugar. He also taught me flip those bags every day for 10 days. Wash the salt off then soak in cold water. Empty the water n do that 2 more times. Dry the belly and let sit in frig on a rack uncovered over night. Then start your smoke. 6-12 hours of smoking till internal meat temp is 159 to 163 degrees. Then put in the frig overnight before slicing. He was butchering over 55 years and I’ve been making bacon for over 12 years. Definitely add the brown sugar it will make the flavor of the bacon 10 levels better than just white sugar!! Delicious!!
This is so awesome when I first started watching this channel I used to cook hamburger helper every night now I have way more confidence in the kitchen I cook our own bread, bacon, and many more dishes I thought I could only buy pre made or in restaurants thank you so much Josh for giving confidence to beginners in cooking!!
We pasture raise our own pork and do all the processing. Including making bacon and country hams. You're dead on with this video. Not bad for a city boy. Lol I really enjoy your videos. Very Informative and well done. Chock full of details, which I thoroughly appreciate. Keep up the good work!
I always look forward to two things when I open a Weissman Video.... his iconic conversation with the camera in the cabinet and the awesome recipe.... always witty, always well-made. A TV show, perhaps?
I was wondering about different spices to cure the bacon. At the same time, I don’t want to see it treated like American brisket where it’s coated in so much spice, you are never going to taste the actual meat.
The vegans are crying from the aesthetic of this video T.T Also I'd love to see some more dessert recipes as I love baking haha (But keep up doing what makes you happy :))
That is so true. Well commented. My children get inspired to cook better. We like your channel. Even my 3 years old think you are cool! Children don’t lie.
i’m so glad to see this! We’ve been smoking our own bacon for a couple years now and it is so easy and better than any bacon you have ever had! We use brown sugar and sometimes put maple syrup and lots of cracked pepper. We also flip the pork belly every day for 5 days. Costco almost always has pork belly that’s nice and meaty. No skin on it so both sides get lots of smoke.
I just made this bacon again for about the 5th time. It's by far the best recipe I've ever tried. Every recipe of yours has turned out perfectly. Now if I make something and it doesn't turn out well my husband asks me 'Is this from the bacon guy'? 'Why did you try anyone else you know he does the best recipes. Thanks for the video. Measuring the cure according to weight is absolutely fantastic. Love Your videos.
I'm a recent subscriber and I just have to say I really enjoy all these videos. They make me more confident in cooking and they make me super hungry!! Btw love the hair!!!💕💕
Dude this is my favorite JW recipe. I'm smoking 15lbs right now. And Ive probably made >100lbs since I first watched this video last year. I don't even need to watch the video anymore I've got it all down. Follow JW's recipe and you will have awesome bacon. I don't do any of the aromatics cause my kids hate that stuff. But add in 1/2cup of maple syrup to the cure and oh mama... So good.
This may be my first comment on YT ever…but this one is worth it. I followed his recipe straight up and was shocked at how easy this is. Smoked on a pellet grill with lumberjack hickory, and took about two hours. Results have changed my life. Now looking for workout videos…. Thanks man!
The curing salt is not necessary if you smoke or bake the belly to above 140 degrees. The sodium nitrite is only necessary if you cold smoke it. Botulism toxin can't survive in a high salt environment and is killed at temps above 140.
Once you finish the curing process, I'm not going to smoke mine, so bake it another one until cooked, and then cook it again and then grill or fry it?? Once it's being cured, could you not cook it, slice up and then fry it like bacon normally.....
I had a vegetarian friend who always emphasized that he was vegetarian. He even showed me the vegan patties he ate. But when I found him eating bacon, he told me he was still vegetarian but bacon was his weakness. Like what, are you a vegetarian every other Breakfast???
A vegan told me chimpanzees were vegan. They are except when they hunt warthogs, antelope and monkeys every six weeks. Imagine going on a vegan dating site (if they exist) and calling yourself a vegan except for eight times a year when you hunt for two or three days and gorge yourself on meat.
Great video and I totally want to make this. Q1: In Germany we can't get Prague powder #1 easily (or at least for a reasonable price). In the ingredient list you're suggesting 60g pink salt and 500g kosher salt. If I not mistaken that makes 3.75g (0.92%) sodium nitrite and ~456g salt. The curing salt in Germany usually has only 0.4 - 0.5% sodium nitrite. Will this work, too? Q2: I would prefer to vacuum seal the bag (just because I have large bags for my vacuum sealer but don't have large ziplock bags.. Is this okay or is air required for this process?
I’ve tried your recipe but based on your calculation for 570g of pork belly, it’s been 1 week and I’ve not seen any fluid coming out inside the packet...?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣comments off the charts have not laughed so hard in awhile omg bahahahaha. Whent outside and found a vegan pork belly hanging in my maple tree ready to eat 🤣👍🙈
I can't express how much I've learned from Joshua... My family has been super grateful for me cooking the food, but the thanks should all go towards Joshua
It’s been a nightmare trying to source saltpetre, so I’ve been making my bacon with only salt, sugar and msg. I just found out today that saltpetre is illegal in Canada. 🙁
Hey Josh, thanks for all your vids so far. Just wondering what else I can cure with the curing mixture you've got here? With this particular ratio or salt/sugar/curing salt, what else will work?
I am currently crying so hard right now. This is seriously the most beautiful, well put together story ever. I can’t believe how magical it was 1:12. That part truly made me shed a tear. And especially at 6:34 that part was just so truly heart touching words can not describe the series of emotions I felt. I absolutely loved the climax it had insanely excellent detail. Oh and we can’t forget the conclusion. The conclusion was the greatest and saddest conclusion I have ever seen better than any of the books I have read. Thank you so much for creating this absolute masterpiece. This is essentially the most important masterpiece of film history. It is a tragedy that this, it can’t be called a film, but a transcendent emotional experience, will be inaccessible for most. It beautifully encapsulates the human struggle to its basics; suffering, pleasure, faith, despair. It connects with the characters within the viewers, individuals suppressed within our own subconscious. It stays vibrant, fresh, and revolutionizes the art of storytelling and filmmaking while making a damn of statement on what it means to be human. Entertaining, gripping, and simply exhilarating. This might be the most impactful piece of art I’ve come across in my life, and I’m definitely coming back to it in the near future to study it more deeply. this is an absolute masterpiece , I was brought to tears listening to this and seeing the bacon go whirly swirly in a circle countless times. it absolutely moved my soul , and I don't think I can ever be the same. this bacon has changed my entire mental state , I am now at peace with who I am and what I will be doing later in my life. i have forgiven all my enemies and now I am a man of a pacifist life. I will move on , gotta move on , as the song says. the bacon is so inspirational , it shares it vast wisdom with all of us , and we are all so lucky that it would bestow it's great words with us. we are all children on bacon. hail bacon. hail bacon. The spinning bacon, rotating in one direction with this music... This made me tear up. How could such a bacon do such a thing? I'm struck by awe by this masterpiece. Especially when the bacon spins, showing its lightly salt covered tan skin. I can hear the crunch just from here, and so as the beautiful sound of the bacon scraping the dark, smooth velvet floor. The flavor, music and everything can be heard, tasted, seen and felt from a screen. You can really hear the breaths between the music artist, empathizing her love for this rotating bacon. Truly what I call modern art. This was the most legendary performance by any piece of bacon I have ever watched. The acting was top tier and very life changing. This is one of the greatest work from a piece of bacon I have ever seen especially on 57:42.I am currently crying so hard right now. This is seriously the most beautiful, well put together story ever. I can’t believe how magical it was at 1:12. That part truly made me shed a tear.

Not even mentioning the memories, this makes me feel like an infant again, just laying my eyes on this beautiful masterpiece gives me all the good feelings in life. I also understand what happiness is again from this. Not even to mention the most incredible part that is 2:10. Bacon spinning has changed my life for the better.

I cried, beat off, and also watched a movie while watching this premiere. This has made me go through so much. I passed depression because of this. It really inspired me to become an outstanding young man. Thank you.
Salty bacon, sweet bacon, yours would lean towards a salty one. Slightly sweet smoked bacon is my goto comfort chew. Well done vid , though. Oh yes , vegans eat bacon. Behind a closet door 😁
OK, I just fried the first slices of my bacon using this recipe and I have to say it is fantastic! I was expecting the traditional store bought bacon flavor but that is not what this tastes like. It's like a mash up of bacon and crispy/smokey pork belly. I will never buy store bought bacon again!!! Thank you for sharing this video, Joshua!
I work in a meat market and I see people going ape shit buying bacon when it’s on sale when pork belly is still cheaper I did it in my oven on a plank and it worked fine I’m so happy you had a recipe for it I love watching your videos even if I’m a year late lol
this recipy tldr is 1. rub some stuff over a pork belly 2. put it in a bag 3. wait a week 4. heat it up with smoke or in an oven 5. remove the skin 6. profit super easy process for which i assume is bacon that comes out 1000x better than any store bought stuff
It still works just fine. I tried one cured for 3 days and another cured for 7 and the 7 day cure is a lot better but the 3 day cure was still definitely Bacon
