BACON Done with Money shots (Pic Heavy)

[pc farmer]

Very nice. You will never be able to eat store bought bacon again

   C farmer is right. We can't stand store bought bacon anymore.

One word of caution, however. If you start sharing your newfound bacon treasure with friends and family, they will start demanding you make more. I found out the hard way. Probably be doing 2 or 3 bellies next month.

already finding that out...lol

Your bacon looks wonderful. You don't have to worry about not liking store bought but you do have to worry if your friends and family find out and start asking for your bacon!

Bought a half pig, took every one else skin as well. 3 full pigs worth.

Came searching for pork rinds and forgot I actually made this thread....

Fried pig skins or cracklin's?

Here's a Cracklin thread I did, maybe help a little.

Whats the difference between cracklins and deep fried pork puffs?
cracklin is unheard of here in Canada

Its easiest to explain it as...... the difference between puffed and crunchy Cheetos. You have to boil & clean then dehydrate the skin only to make fried pig skins. You just cut the fat, meat and skin up and fry the cracklin's. Both are great with beer and football!

 

[navier]

great analogy with the cheetoes, makes perfect sense now.

cracklin is basically larger extra crispy bacon bits
