Bacon Cure

Is there a cure for bacon, one that would need no refrigeration after or during curing for that matter. If there is already a posting on this could someone direct me to it. I`m quessing it would be very old school. Thanks

Just great looking brats. Curious why you don`t like sheep casings. Recently purchased some for hotdogs because it supposed to the best casings for such things and expensive to boot.

Really? You`ve got to be kidding right? You have no comprehension about safety. You post incessantly but in most cases haven`t a clue what this hobby is about. Your comments show your ignorance about the subject. Your right you don`t get it.

Bactoferm B-LC-007

Has anyone had experience using Bactoferm B-LC-007 vs Bactoferm T-SPX? From its description it appears to be a more modern or updated product. It states it prevents the grow of Listeria where as T-SPX doesn`t. Anyone use this product?

It`s all stuffed and netted. Time will tell. Thanks for all the help from everyone. I`m sure at times you would love to treat some newbees like glow sticks; break them in half and shake like hell until the light goes on. :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Thanks BobK for the advice but reading as I have said before is no subistitute for hands on experience. My question is about an odd ball experience that probably has no answer, certainly not going to be in a book. I`m just putting out questions in the hope someone make have been where I am now. Have...

Bolepa I won`t be poaching or using sous vide. I just plan on curing, smoking, and finishing in the oven. I`m not a big proponent of sous vide. It takes to long to cook anything. It has it`s place in cooking but not meats, IMO. Yes it does produce a great texture in meats but lacks the flavor profil...

BobK Seeing this is my first attempt at salami and as I mention before I just have PH strips. I put in the required amounts of T-XPS as required by the recipe. I tested with the strips and the strips really don`t change from their original color just wet looking. That would be a PH of 6 to 7. The sa...
