Man that looks amazing! I SO want to try this in 2018, but every time I read the article on curing I get intimidated and find 3 other things I want to try. 😂

I know how you feel FishTalesNC, I was the same way. I read about how easy it is and then read how dangerous it is. I finally jumped in last year and tried it using Meathead's recipe on this site and couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. I batch nearly every weekend for months! It really is easy and if you follow the instrucitons here it is completely safe and fun.

I ordered the pink salt off amazon last night. No going back now... 😬

Looks really good! When I started making my own I was curing and smoking every week. I kinda went overboard and then learned that the fat does break down in the freezer if you don't use it quick enough.
It looks like you're hand slicing. Very consistent slices, nicely done!

kamadoRob Do you vacuum pack bacon for freezing? I freeze a lot at a time and have noticed no decline in quality over at least a year in the freezer. (Some packages occasionally get lost in the shuffle...)

HorseDoctor This was one of the things that made me get a vacuum sealer. Before I was just wrapping in plastic wrap and butcher paper. That didn't last more than a month or two. I haven't found a bad package since I started sealing but I make smaller batches now too. It's good to know the vacuum pack will last that long.
