It must be alright when my kids always tell me how good it is BB Kids are way too honest when it comes to stuff like that.

The Captain!! Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 My one and only attempt at bacon was a recipe from the gourmet farmer. With no nitrates. Turned out aweful. So much so that my wife has said to me you are never ruining bacon ever again. Think the words were, hun, I know you love making things for yourself but bacon should be bought at the supermarket if your going to serve up that shit. She, last like kids, is very honest. I haven’t tried since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermoor Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I finally fitted a thermometer to the lid of my weber kettle, today I experimented with Italian pork sausages and pork spare ribs. Cheeky golden ale to go with the sausages for lunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captain!! Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Is that a belly rolled or loin and belly? Or what? Kirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 It's a loin roast. Or was until I cured it and made it into delicious bacon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I fried some up yesterday to taste it, turned out really well. You should give it another go just make sure to use the curing salt this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Really good piece of loin too, love how fatty it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Yeah the butcher has been getting ones like that in recently, good size and a nice day layer. Woolies ones look about the same in terms of size so I might try one for the next lot and compare, unlike the Coles ones that are bloody tiny. Won't ever bother with those again.

joolbag Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 I'm keen to do a loin and belly piece the next cure and smoke that I do. Very much like the commercial rasher bacon with short-cut loin + a long rasher. Difference is that mine will be tasty! Not sure where to source one of these. May have to speak to a butcher and order it in. Was thinking a rolled pork loin might be alright, but haven't seen any with a decent length of streaky rasher attached.

Otto Von Blotto Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I haven't seen them like that either Jools. They seem to only be loin or belly. Suits me fine though, I don't really like streaky bacon as much as short cut (loin) bacon. @Beer Baron yeah I just buy the pork loin roasts, they work well. Gotta do another leg ham soon, the missus wants another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Did a little barbie yesterday for missus brother's birthday. Nothing major, just snags, burger patties and some bacon. Which now means I have to make more bacon earlier than I expected because it's almost used up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Got some more curing salt today. I really should get a big bag to save money. I also need to get a small bucket and lid from Bunnings to hold the bigger pork loin roast. My small flat container just won’t cut it. I am also looking at doing some beef and bacon sausages next week too. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
