Can you say for sure if there's a right and wrong way to slice bacon whether along the grain or across the grain? I did my first cure and cut across the grain for shorter pieces to sample and while tasted good, they were chewy. I'm thinking its either to do with the way I sliced it or its a tough old pig since I got it from my place of work that processes 2k or more pigs daily.
im using an 11 inch slicer which gives full length slices. I’ve used smaller slicers before where I’ve had to cut a belly to fit the slicer and that works well too.
Great video as always! I’ve got a batch of copying your video on black treacle bacon - I have a batch in the fridge right now! One question, what slicer would you recommend for a hobbiest please? Keep up the great content 👍
Hi, Thanks for the comment. How did you know I go through my messages over lunch?? Well, you can get a pretty good slicer from nisbets. Reasonably priced and used heavilly by the trade www.nisbets.co.uk/caterlite-light-duty-meat-slicer/gh489?vatToggle=incvat&plaid=1&cm_mmc=PLA-_-18122692213-_--_-&cm_mmca1=go_18122692213____c_&gclid=CjwKCAjwyaWZBhBGEiwACslQo-iZApR61lUGtQOvYV513krH6rljEf_B-V4AOun3sEqJQRL9QkD1MxoCdE0QAvD_BwE There are other slicers on the market www.studio.co.uk/shop/electricals/electrical-top-brands/top-brand-egl/egl-electric-meat-slicer-24112798?source=TK1S&PLA_%7c_Recruitment_%7c_Best_Online_Sellers_%7c_TK1S&gclid=CjwKCAjwyaWZBhBGEiwACslQoyQ2RquREsr8nprYpnHcCIMnGsgPmFhAWUuColdi5dSdmGLD8ORdAxoCuVQQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds but by and large you get what you pay for. Not sure if you've had a chance to look at my slice bacon like a pro vid but if you can slice your bacon by hand you may find you don't always need one. If you're making prosciutto off the bone then a slicer is helpful anyway - Here is a link to that vid. ruclips.net/video/AgZoY37eSxY/видео.html
Hello there, I'm in the United States. I'm working on getting things together so I can process and freeze my own bacon. I looked on your website for the items needed, however, I cannot find similar items here from your website. Do you ship to the United States?
Thank you I am about to smoke a loin of bacon in a card board box home made smoker for about 12 hours with a pro Q smoke generator from a charcoutrie course That has been in a sealed plastic bag with correct measured amounts of salt nitrate and sugar done by the instructor that’s been in fridge 6 days I wasn’t keen to purchase a slicer as not sure what the results will be like. I smoked a piece of salmon which was a failure referred back to my teacher.m I di£nt cure the salmon or smoke it long enough…
It works but just make sure its the outside thats frozen and it's not frozen all the way through. It will be far too hard to cut even with a mechanical slicer.
You can find a meat slicer in the $300- $400 range from Lem, Walton's, Meat brand. Also these companies run 20% off holiday time in the winter. Meaning $60-$80 off. How

ideally slice across the grain for the reason you stated 👍🥓
What deli slicer are you using, seems like it hard to find one large enough to slice bigger pieces of pork belly
im using an 11 inch slicer which gives full length slices. I’ve used smaller slicers before where I’ve had to cut a belly to fit the slicer and that works well too.

Awesome! thanks for your helpful response and link. ordered the slicer from Nisbets and some gold/silver boards & bags from your site. 👍

What kind and size of slicer are you using?
Hi Samuel, its a 12” Argenta slicer purchased in the UK. 👍

Good luck, I hope it works out for you 👍
@@Coldsmoking where can I buy your books?
@@trevorsavage3750 i think they’re on amazon and my website (if you’re in the uk)
Looks an expensive piece of kit that slicer!
for what it is i think its pretty good value. i think i paid £160.00 for it. the pre-freezing also works for hand slicing the bacon too
@@Coldsmoking I'll be trying the freeze trick in 3-4weeks
It works but just make sure its the outside thats frozen and it's not frozen all the way through. It will be far too hard to cut even with a mechanical slicer.
Which deli slicer is this? Is it a 12in? I just bought a 10" and it's too small.
Step 1: spend $600 on a slicer. Smh. Next video please
how about slicing bacon without a slicer 😂
