I may be in over my head. I made bacon a few weeks ago and brought in a little sample for some people at work...they loved it. They told me to let them know the next time I plan on making some so they can "place an order". This morning I told a few people that I would be doing another batch shortly and word quickly spread through the office and I currently have "orders" for 20 pounds, not including what I will make for myself. I did 11 pounds last time, which seemed like a lot, but it turned out to be very manageable and no trouble at all.
Has anyone done large batches of bacon? I have a second fridge, so space isn't a problem while curing, I'm just looking for any tips before I get started to hopefully avoid any unforeseen problems.
I'm thinking I'll mix a big batch of cure and ladle it into however many vacuum seal bags I end up using.
Any input would be appreciated and I'll be sure to take pictures along the way...all that bacon will be a beautiful sight.
