    For Dutch / European viewers. In The Netherlands, Pink Salt (6%) and Leo salt (3%) are illegal because of it's high nitrate content. Instead we use Colorozo / Nitrietzout (Nitrate Salt) 0,6%, which contains only 0,6% nitrate. You can use 25 to 30 grams of Nitrietzout 0,6% for 1kg of meat dry brine, or 1kg of meat and fluids total wet brine. So let's say, 1kg of pork belly + 1L of liquid incl. spices needs 50 to 60 grams of Nitrietzout 0,6%. I'm no expert, didn't find this out myself, just wanted to share it for anyone wondering.

    Dude!!! You are an artist. I cook for 60 people at a crack every quarter at work and use a lot of your recipes. Everyone from the owners on down can’t believe how good the food turns out. I simply smile and say I learned from the best. I’m doing breakfast for around 100 in May and there’s going to be some serious THICK CUT home made bacon involved. Your loaded breakfast sausage is going to be involved in that as well.

    I've been making bacon for a few years now. Pastrami bacon is my go to and by far the most highly appraised from anyone who has ever had it or any of my bacon. Brined like you'd brine a corned beef, then seasoned and smoked like pastrami. It's out of this world. Also, I'm on team floppy bacon. I only make my bacon crispy if I'm chopping it up to add in a broth or soup or chili.

    You should totally do a breakfast series, some Dutch oven buttermilk biscuits, some pancakes and hash browns . Tex-Mex style of Chilaquiles, breakfast taco's, breakfast burritos, huevos rancheros with green or red Texas chili . Maybe a homage to Valentina's "real deal Holyfield." Possibly a traditional Irish or English breakfast with a Texas twist, boxty, black pudding, beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, Irish soda bread. The list could go on. Whatever you do please keep putting out awesome content. You are such an inspiration. From you recipes, I have made Cornell chicken, beef tallow and tried the foil boat. I'm sure you have a lot going on in life, I just love, love love your content, and encourage you to please keep going.

    Hi Bradley. Gave this recipe a go, turned out great! I've used other recipes for my bacon but always came out too salty. I really liked the science you put into your videos, the 3% salinity ratio was spot on. Love the content, looking froward to more!

    • @RaceviceSmokehouse
      @RaceviceSmokehouse Před 9 měsíci +1

  • @SmokingDadBBQ
    @SmokingDadBBQ Před 2 lety +3

    Looks awesome. You can soak after the brine in water and even add a potato to pull out the excess salt before smoking to reduce the salt content some if it’s too much

    Great video as usual. Just wanted to say, Mad Scientist did a video on chicken thighs just a bit ago. I followed what he did on my BGE and put them directly over the coals. Then skin has never been so crisp. The point is, you should do more direct heat videos as well. I've been doing that over using the deflector and my food is getting better.

    I used this bacon cure a year ago on a full pork belly and I'm just about to fire up another belly with the exact same cure. It was SO GOOD and way better than any of the bacon you'd buy in store. Making this cure in bulk is the way to go.
    I think this time I'll reserve a chunk of pork belly for some Szechuan peppercorn bacon. Tingly! Numbing! Crispy! Smokey! Bacon!

    Another excellent video dude! If I may though, offer a tip? I do a 7 day cure on my bacon as well. But when all the rinsing and everything is done, I pat it dry then just through it on a cookie sheet and throw it in the fridge to dry some. overnight after the 7 day cure. Works very well , I find the smoke works into the bacon better on the smoker. Just my tip, use it or not. Just sayin. lol :) Your Bacon looks great! Making me hungry now with that excellent breakfast you made. Yum! Cheers!!!

    The pieces are long if you go with the full width. Because I'm most often making bacon for sandwiches and burgers (where I'll want half-length pieces anyway) I often cut at least some of them in half before smoking. Then they're a convenient width for storing and slicing.
