    Bacon: hang vs flat

    Tried to hang mine when I started. Bought all the rigs to make it happen. Did not like the looks when hung as they stretch out. So I lay flat. And love the results

    Calculations (and my other newb questions)

    Been making sausage a long while as did my dad......never once got this “anal” around a precise ratio of fat to lean.....just used the fact that is on the butt.....and in over thirty years of sharing the sausage have had no complaints of the sausage being “dry”...... I mean nothing personal...

    7.5 pound belly from Costco I put cure on last night

    Made some “slap yo momma” bacon using molasses......turned out really well....had to slow fry due to the amount of sugar which causes it to burn at too high a heat....

    Bacon Drippings ?

    My mom always saved them, hence so do I....have found though that drippings saved from doing bacon in the oven have an amount of water in them and thus splatter when used to fry...dripping from fried bacon do not have that issue....nothing better than butter beans and corn done with bacon drippings

    Took my first try to make breakfast sausage....used 21mm collagen casings....made a long rope, sit them to 4in sausages with my kitchen shears, frogs them on cookie sheets for about an hour then vacuum sealed them...worked great and am planning on doing more.
