Makin' Bacon from start to finish

This is my submission to 23mrcowboys 375 contest. One of my all time favorite things to make/cook is bacon. So what could be better than making the bacon yourself. Homemade bacon is so much better than store bought, it's pretty easy to do.

I'm hungry for bacon just watching this! Now curing some belly pork in the fridge - couldnt find the pink salt on the day - will it make much difference to the shelf life? and how long will it last without? Thanks.

@markaiwa I didn't have pink salt the first time I made bacon.It turned out really good, didn't have to worry about shelf life, we ate it pretty quick.

hi tom, thats awesome, i need to make some bacon, do you have a place where you buy the pork belly that you can recommend? thanks in advance

[tdjtx]

@shjaguar I normally buy it in an Asian supermarket but I have found it at Whole Foods too.

The next step is to raise your own hog! I've been making bacon out of our homegrown pork and it is mighty fine. Just picked up a meat slicer to I can crank it out faster!
