Breakfast Bacon

Recommended Posts

I was so low on bacon that it ran out. :shock: :shock: :shock:

It has been cured and washed. Now it is drying overnight in the fridge.

Ready for the KK.

On the grill to smoke for a few hours, grill is about 220F. The smoking wood is whiskey barrel.

All but one package is vacuumed sealed and in the freezer.

The for a hot chocolate, especially this one. A friend gave me some chocolate curls and I used 3T in a cup of milk to make an awesome hot chocolate.

Sweet looking bacon, MacKenzie. Question - do you chill/partially freeze it before slicing to make it easier to slice? There must be a trick that I haven't learned yet, since I have a terrible time slicing mine - and I have a deli slicer that I bought specifically for this task! The slices tend to stick to the blade and get pulled around rather than slice cleanly and fall off the back to the tray. 

Your friend must be a cake decorator to have nice chocolate curls like that. Did they make them?

Thanks, Tony. Yes I put it in the fridge for several hours, usually overnight. My slicing room is in the basement and very cool so that helps some too. If I was in a rush I'd put it in the freezer and get it good and cold that way.
My friend bought the curls but thought they would be smaller. She makes chocolates, lucky me.

Serious chocolate! But, I have to admit that it seems a bit of a shame to make hot chocolate out of such lovely art. They belong on top of a cake, a Tiramisu, or at least some cupcakes! However, I'm sure that they made some wonderful hot chocolate!

Thanks for the tips MacKenzie. I had chilled my slabs of bacon before, but maybe not long enough?

Looks good I need to do some more belly bacon interesting you smoked it a 220 that's a easier temp to get to .my brother is a confectionist he used to have a shop where he made humbug and liqueur infused chocolates. His nick name is peanut brittle one day he was transferring the big pot of the fire to pour on the metal slab and a chain snapped and some of the peanut brittle got him on the arm ouch
