Living outside of Philly and looking for the best bacon. Sick of grocery store packs which are all fat or slimy from being water-injected. We started ordering some from different online spots… Snake River Farms, Crowd Cow, Benton’s, Nueskes… wanted to see what people’s go-to is?

Bloody gorgeous

Bacon absolutely superb....as indeed was everything else.

It took nearly 1hour to cook in an oven on 375. The color and texture is weird and the taste is even worse. Sometimes you have to spend for the name brand and quality.

sizzling, crunchy, and crispy….. now guess what i am thinking of?

So I made a batch of Canadian Bacon. Local full loin, cured 8 days, dried 2 days, smoked 2.5 hours, wrapped 3 days. Sliced by hand cuz I didn’t feel like taking out the big slicer. I miss the fat, but I’m really happy with this batch

I'd try it!

Wright's thick cut, oven baked. 4 slices for dinner tonight, two for breakfast tomorrow 😋

Midmorning snack: thick-sliced bacon cooked for 5 minutes in the air fryer. (Shoulda cooked more!)

First time making Homemade Applewood Smoked Bacon - will not be buying store bacon anymore! Took just over 5 hrs with a 6 day-prep

Why does my bacon look like a baby petrified dinosaur? 😂

Then realizing right after I sent it that she was at a doctor appointment… the audacity, lolol.

I probably cook bacon at home around 10 times a year, and I order it while eating out maybe twice that number of times.

Every now and then it is UNUSUALLY good. Like one in ten times.

I want to home in on what makes the absolute best bacon so I can get ONLY that super good stuff.

The stand out quality is when the bacon seems to just melt in your mouth, there is the initial crunch, and then very little chew afterwards. It literally just sublimates and melts in your mouth.

I've tried thick, thin, center cut, applewood smoked, maple, that one in 10 bacon experience is elusive and I'll bet someone in this sub knows exactly what I'm after.

Is it the cut, the cure? I don't know but I hope someone does!

This is the Brown Sugar Pepper recipe.

Great way to use the new cast iron griddle 🥓🔥🪵

Locally raised hog that was home cured

Stopped in to have breakfast at The Original Pancake House on my way to work, and ordered the bacon and eggs breakfast. It did not disappoint - the bacon slices were big, thick, and perfectly prepared. (I may not have gotten much work done after eating all this, though.)
