    So enjoyed this video, I need some clarification. In your blog post you say to reapply the sugar and salt rub after you pour off the liquid, but didn't mention in the video, do you still do that for several days??? Or since it's on a cookie sheet and wire rack and not a tub is it no longer necessary??? Should you do two at a time so you can stack them and have the pressure of the top one help get liquid out?? I'm going to try this asap. Thanks so much

    I watched this video earlier today…and decided I was going to make my own bacon! (My maternal grandfather kept his own smokehouse, and I watched him when I was a tiny girl.)

    I went and bought an almost 8 pound piece of pork belly…for $4.99/lb on sale…some salt, and sugar and I'm going to start out curing the pork belly tomorrow!

    Just pointing out a little detail: at around 4 minute I noticed theres a very quiet voice over behind yours, as if u forgot to delete a sound band with a voice over starting at a different timestamp. Anyways, love your videos, I watch them religiously, and cant wait to make this bacon!!

    We're about to butcher our pig tomorrow, so thankful for this! We always had to ask someone for help to smoke our bacon. I'm so excited to try to cure it this way! Thank you, Shaye and Stu, you nailed it!💝🍷

    My maternal grandfather kept a smokehouse and cured LOTS of meat this way. There were always hams, bacon, and other things hanging from the rafters. And…this was in rural western Louisiana, so he did it in the fall and winter when humidity was lowest and they stayed good through the year.

    I'm going to go pick up some pork belly today and try this.

    How does your bacon not get dusty? I feel like anything next to/near my stove gets so grimy and dusty within a few days. Maybe this is because I live in the city… but I am just wondering if you are concerned about your bacon getting gross.

    Hi🙋
    Just a quick question about frozen pork belly. In the UK it's not recommended to freeze thawed raw meat which was not cooked in between preparations. Does the curring process take care of this obvious issue? I see many people cooking meat and food 2or 3 times before canning, raising temperatures up and down, again not recommended in the UK, and I worry about the implications of food poisoning not just botulism. Making my own bacon is something I am going to try and I will follow your recipe. Thank you for sharing and your guidance.
    All the best from the UK 🇬🇧

    Shaye, love this video and glad you did this! Retired chef 28 years, homesteaders here in central Texas. We have always cured our own bacon and other cuts of meats. Corned beef, wild boar hams, venison and smoked fish. I like to control the salt levels and rarely use curing salt (Nitrate) also known as pink salt. I only use a small amount to get that nice pink color for corned beef. 40% salt and 60% sugar 6-7 days and off to the smoker. I only use skinless, much easer for us. We mix things up as well and like to use maple syrup instead of sugar. Some time we use jalapeño, black pepper, just so many ways to be creative. Some times we make Canadian bacon and don't smoke. Hear in central Texas we refrigerate. We will pull out the slicer, slice dice and portion, vac-pack and freeze. We always enjoy you channel and look forward to many new video's. Merry Christmas to you and your family! Chef Mike

    Years ago I watched one of your videos where you took a chunk of bacon down from your ceiling, and I was blown away! I asked you how you did that, and you pointed me to Farmstead Meatsmith. I ended up totally enchanted by the Brandon and his wife. Fast forward, I just slaughtered, and butchered my first pigs last month! I have my own bacons, Copa, guanciale, prosciuttos, and hams going as we speak.

    I can't thank you enough for introducing me to Farmstead Meatsmith. They're extraordinary people on many levels.

    I grew up in the city, with almost no traditions, and there's something inexplicably satisfying about getting back to the old ways.

    This video is so timely! It is finally cool enough down here in FL for us to cure and smoke the bacon from the pig we raised this year. We cured a ham for thanksgiving from him too.

    I've learned so much from your videos! I've been gardening and preserving food for 40 yrs but you've showed me new things like making homemade hot sauce with peppers. Making home made cooking oils with herbs and olive oil and making herbed salts all of which I made this year. Now I can cure my own bacon!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
