    Curing bacon without #1??

    That’s awesome, thanks! Once it’s done and I rinse, any recommendations on what to coat it with? One of the best bacons I ever had was a jalapeño bacon. But you can’t go wrong with bacon, it’s one of gods great gifts to mankind

    Curing bacon without #1??

    I may have misspoken about nitrates, I didn’t know there was a difference between the two and I knew it was one of the two. Probably will just use cure #1. Do you know of a good recipe for the cure?

    Idaho winter steaks

    Yeah snake river farms is a big producer around here. Also I may look for beef, but potatoes are lower on my list for sure. Maybe I lack a great way to add smoke flavor to them 😂
