When you cook it, put it in the oven cold on a foiled tray, turn the oven on to 300 degrees and let it cook for 20-24 min until perfectly golden brown.
It literally melts in your mouth. |

That's how I do my regular bacon. With the recipe I'm using, you smoke the bacon to 150. They say after that, the bacon is ready to eat, so you can eat it cold or put it in a skillet (or oven) and cook as you normally would.

I've never cured pork belly, but I cure pork loin into back bacon often. It's a 5-7 day cure, I've never used pink salt, I use Tender Quick. I smoke it at 150 degrees to around 145/150 internal.

I bought a pound of pink salt on Amazon. That should last me about 400 pounds of meat.

If you have extra and would like to donate to feed the children, you could send me some and I would take care of your donation.

I'll be starting my cure tomorrow. I didn't order quite enough maple sugar, but I added some grade B dark amber real maple syrup to some sugar (like you would for homemade brown sugar) and did a side-by-side taste comparison and feel confident it'll taste great. So next Sunday I should be smoking my pork belly and have an 11-pound slab of bacon!

Thank you for reminding me of bacon. I was getting hungry. Now I know what I'm eating.

Bacon is high in cholesterol. It will choke your arteries down and KILL you. I'd advise eating a Turkey breast instead.
