Bacon

[Lomey]

First time making homemade bacon. Pork belly rubbed in seasoning, freezer vacuumed and in to the fridge to cure for a week or so. Then on to the smoker. I'll update as I go along. Wish me luck!

Looks fantastic. Are you going to smoke it all after its cured?

Sweet! Been on my list of things to do for a long time, looking forward to hearing about how it turns out.

Yep. I'll be putting it on the smoker in 7-9 days.

Can't wait to see your updates. It's been on my list to try as well.

Good luck!

Bacon is one of those things that I have told myself that I have to try to make someday. Will be watching for the outcome ! Should be a real treat !

Update. Pork belly rinsed of the cure. Now its officially bacon! I read to cut off a few pieces to fry up before smoking to check the saltiness. I'm glad I did, it was too salty so I'm going to soak it in water for a while. Another thing I read is that when cooking it up there is no splatter like with store bought bacon because store bought is injected with so much water. It is true, no splatter, which is nice. Overall, the test pieces were good just too salty, which I'm soaking out. It also will be much better after smoking it.

Tomorrow it goes into the smoker!

Just off the smoker. Going to wrap it it cling wrap for a couple of days in the fridge then slice and eat some!

There is no way using the English language to describe the beauty of bacon to a degree that does it justice. Your homemade bacon even more so.

Maybe Klingon will do it justice....chenmoH vIneH 'a bacon!

This is a new level of nerd, but I love it!
