    Have you ever tried the punched stainless steel style strainers? They’re very easy to clean and super durable. Also a chinois is great for making smooth sauces and soups as well as straining a stock.

  • @OurFinalFreezer
    @OurFinalFreezerАй бұрын

    Yes, we still like the mesh strainer more because it still works for foods with small particles. Depending on what you're preparing, the punched stainless strainers may not work as effectively. Though they are a TON easier to clean! Love the chinois idea too. Thank you for mentioning!

    I make mine in a crockpot from a recipe on the side of a bag of steel cut oats. Living in Florida, I miss the store bought variety. It's totally different from the way I make it...but I just try this. So apparently it freezes well, where as the recipe I've been using does not hold up after it's defrosted.

    Awesome tribute to Bob. I worked at at a sports card shop in Dayton, Ohio in the late 80s and early 90s. Bob was a friend of the owner and i got to meet and talk with him many times , mostly about baseball. I did get to try the sausages and loved them. Every year, he would make a big batch and i was lucky enough to have them a few times.

    The only thing is that it's cured pork loin. So my question is, do you call any cut of pork that has been cured bacon?

  • @OurFinalFreezer
    @OurFinalFreezer6 ай бұрын

    Calling this peameal bacon is really a colloquialism, because there's three sections on the hog that are called bacon: belly bacon, jowl bacon, and peameal bacon. Ham is cured as well, but it's not called ham bacon. I would really only call belly and jowl meat that is cured "bacon," because it's alternating layers of fat and muscle. Everything else that's cured on the hog should be called something else. Great question!

  • @mattprom8318

    I have hot smoked bacon but would love to get into cold smoking bacon. My questions are when I hot smoked the bacon I let it sit in a tub of water after the 7 days of curing over night before I smoked it to get as much of the salty ness out as I could. With this recipe is that necessary? Also you say you add an extra gram or two of cure mixture to your bags as you load them. Could you also add an extra gram or so of prauge powder to the overall cure mixture? I guess in short can you add to much prouge powder?? I loved the video I’m just nervous and want to make sure I have all my basses covered before I dive into the cold smoking world!

  • @OurFinalFreezer
    @OurFinalFreezer6 ай бұрын

    Great question Matt! You don't need to let the bellies soak overnight with this recipe. Since the cure is measured for each piece, you only need to rinse off the cure and pat dry. If you soaked the bellies, they wouldn't be salty enough for the finished product. I would not add an extra gram of Prague powder because the recipe is already at the USDA limit for sodium nitrite.

  • @OurFinalFreezer

    Unfortunately, different salts have different densities. So a 1/4 cup of Morton's kosher salt has a different mass than a 1/4 cup of Diamond Crystal. Measuring by mass is really necessary for this process.
