Bacon Grill Is It Better Than Spam? - Outside Cooking

I love spam but we found this Tulip pork luncheon meat and bacon grill and decided to fry them up and see if the cheaper luncheon meat and bacon grill are tastier than the dearer spam. We also fried up some corned beef as well to see what it tasted like.

Open both ends with a tin opener and push the meat out. Comes out of the tin very easy x

[@JazzFunkNobby1964]

Depends which end of the tin you try to push it out.

[@sheilagarrido8204]

Hi Again Folks, 👋 Good to see you. I do love it when you cook. It really gives me an appetite. 😅 Ohh😢 I feel sooo bad and sorry for those poor hens I'm so glad your friend rescued them😊. Goes to show, amongst all the bad and evil that goes on there's someone good just around the corner willing to put it right. Thank Goodness❤❤

[@maureenwoods3622]

We had bacon grill years ago when we don't camping in our tent loved it ❤

[@chriskeller4563]

I use a tin opener on the bottom then slide it through and slice it as it is coming out 😊 great video guys

[@louisevs3946]

Spam 91% meat-contais starch. 2x200g tins in Iceland £3,85. Tulip only 64% meat-contains starch. 250g tin in Iceland £1.75. * Pek 90% meat- NO STARCH. 200g tin in Iceland £1.25 * Pek also tastes the best!

[@dianewray1867]

Is starch 'carnival' then? Sounds like Pek has got it right.

[@debyorkshirelass9674]

Thanks , worth a try. 😊

[@fibutton7361]

Yes it is!! I'm having Bacon Grill with Cauli cheese tonight - its far better than Spam, much more flavoursome! Team Bacon Grill here! It needs to be cut much more thinly and fried so it's crispy :)))x

Use a can opener on the bottom just for a bit then it will normally release

[@juliejr]

Believe it or not, I cooked spam for the first time in about 20 years today for my mom . I wanted to cheer her up because she's recently gone into a nursing home, so I asked her what she wanted to bring in, and she asked for some spam ❤ I'd forgotten how nice it tastes ❤

[@kj8645]

Always try to give mum things she may enjoy while she's in care...I miss my own mum so dearly and always tried to give her things she remembered loving over the years...her favorite foods made such a difference...even if only for the moment, she was able to escape to happier memories when we would eat together...(and Spam was something I would always prepare in any manner she wished...✨🤙🏼✨🙏🏼✨) bless your mum...take care...

[@juliejr]

@kj8645 I will and thank you ❤️

[@JazzFunkNobby1964]

Couldn't you take care of your Mum at your home? Or her home? Surely that is the best option for her? I ask because I would not want to go in a nursing home.

[@juliejr]

@@JazzFunkNobby1964 simple answer is no.. if you have no health problems yourself and you no other commitments and the person you're caring for sleeps at night then maybe you could manage but after 2 year's, 2 major operations, no sleep and no support it became impossible...now I visit every day and live with the guilt...hope that answers your question.

Lovely to see you as always, just love your dogs being involved. Thanks for a nice vlog, hope you didn't get too wet. ❤

[@rabsrealm]

We used to get Bacon Grill cans in our Army rations back in the day. Bacon Grill on Biscuits Brown (Ar*e Blockers we used to call them) was delicious. An acquired taste to be fair but I loved them. It's all freeze dried stuff these days.

[@stephengoddard4719]

Hi guys what a good idea adding a little drop of water to steam top of eggs take care

[@SkorPeeon]

open the regular end and poke a hole in the other end, it will slide right out! luv u both!

[@michaelyounger4058]

The easiest way to open these cans is to open the top with the pull ring then use a can opener on the bottom and push that it will come out easily

[@acheface]

Never been a fan of spam (I think the greasy spam fritters at school was what did it for me) however, I got into bacon grill when I was in the RAF. It was always on for breakfast when we were out on exercise. That and what they called compo sausages, they were in tins complete with their own lard. You're right about the water in the pan for the eggs. It works a treat.

[@butlersempire]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Erik-LehnsherrX]

I don’t mind spam. Can’t stand fritters. The batter texture with the meat makes me feel sick. Same with a battered sausage 🤮🤮

[@dianewray1867]

Water in the pan for fried eggs is an old trick, so long as the rest of the stuff in there doesn't end up steamed. which I doubt as it's supposed to be added right at the very end. Good to be reminded of these little wrinkles passed down from years ago..👍

[@haitch04]

A big shout for SPAM as regards taste, we like Bacon Grill and there's no denying the value for money. Spam is getting ridiculously expensive but it's taste and flavour has never been replicated in our minds so we eat it as a 'treat' these days. Another great video folks.x

[@carolcurtis1573]

Me and the kids wouldn’t eat any of them but my hubby loves corned beef hash or sliced in a sandwich , that bacon grill I know a lot of folk prefer it to spam , the prices these days are crazy , food has pretty much doubled for so many things . Good review on these 👍👍

[@raywilson3207]

Hi Martin & Sharon Just Subscribed to this and retrorestore. Brilliant videos that are always great to watch and also has funny witty moments.

Awesome, thank you!

i love bacon grill with scrambled egg,mushrooms and chopped tomatoes

[@full_time_motorhome]

Need to cook bacon grill in thin slices. It crisps up really well. Was eating this in a caravan in the 70’s. Slightly smoky flavour. Try running the cans under a hot tap to get the meat out easier. Bit more difficult if not at home.

[@derbyjohn972]

I used to love the bacon grill. Fantastic comparison one 👍🏻👍🏻. Please use your little gas burner cooker absolutely comedy gold mate 😂😂😂

[@bettyboo151]

If you cut bacon grill thinner it crisps up nice, add fried egg to a sandwich with, mushrooms, white pepper, tomatoes and hp fruity sauce….thats what you call. TASTE SENSATION

[@caz975]

I love how intensely Merlin was watching Martin getting the spam out of the tin 😂

[@martp197]

I buy Tulip luncheon meat for fishing bait, Carp and Barbel love it :)

[@tinaturner1695]

As others have said, just pierce bottom of tins with tin opener and meat comes out very easily if top lid is off.

[@780jodie]

Asda corned beef is very nice only £2.40, my tip is pierce the bottom of the can and then open the top and it will fall out

[@333wheeler]

Bacon grill is always good if you get it crispy on the outer skin. Used to grill it. Not sure how it might work in a "George Foreman" grill.

[@hollypotter6989]

Try cubing the spam. If you can get it, cook chicken rice a roni according to the package directions. When you add the water pour in 1 can of corn including the liquid and put the cubed spam in at the same time. Cover and cook as directed on the box of rice a roni. Its a great one pot family meal. I promise baby Frank will love it. I made it for my daughters now we make it for our granddaughters. We call it spam and rice. Cheap, easy, delicious.

Easy way to open a spam tin. Use a tin opener and make a slot in the bottom of the tin on four positions and give it a shake. The spam will slowly slide out with a bit of a shake.

The best bacon grill was plumrose, you can't get it these days, the next best one is by Dane king, which also made plumrose. It's far nicer than spam. What's the difference in the ingredients?

Hi both, great video 😊 I went to buy some spam last week for my boys to try but when I saw the price I looked for an alternative but I wasn't sure if spam was pork luncheon meat or chopped ham & pork as both were on the self in the same tins so I brought neither 😮

[@Steve-bk9gu]

Sorry that stuff is not healthy whatever you believe 😮

[@178790]

Tried the bacon grill, brilliant, nice and crispy, lovely taste!! Conversation

[@justkidding9751]

I've been a vegetarian for 3 years now with no regrets. But when I did eat meat I stayed away from these tinned meats because regardless of how you cook them or even if you eat them cold with salad or a sarni they are absolutely carcinogenic especially at our age I'm afraid. Not trying to scare me anyone but that type of food is only fit for using as fish bait. In my opinion

[@butlersempire]

Spam has been around since the 1937.

[@justkidding9751]

@@butlersempire unfortunately that is no reflection on the current ingredients and that the new science in the manufacture of these foods has proven they are carcinogenic and the level of this toxicity is increased when heated. If I went on a carnival diet I would stick to grass fed meats and nothing processed. People need to switch on to what they put in their bodies as manufacturers can't be trusted the same way big pharma can't be trusted. But you enjoy yourselves I'm just making you aware, what people do with that information is up to them but awareness is key. You only have to look at the increase in cancers over the past 50 years to realise it's not just environmental toxins or big pharma that is contributing to the new cancer pandemic. My brother died last year and it stated on the autopsy report that his bladder cancer was caused by long term use of Beta blockers, nothing big pharma makes has no side effects and it's all deliberate. You enjoy the choices you make and good for you but people still need to be made aware of the reality of these food choices based on your own personal understanding that helps make informed choices. Spam may have been around for over 100 years but it doesn't make it safe I'm afraid. Enjoy

[@mixmatch8811]

Also I've been meaning to message since your 2nd outdoor cooking video. I brought a 900watt airfryee for my motorhome and I use it on my bluetti and it works great 😊 I brought it after seeing it on urban vanlife and he had a discount code. The airfryer is Chefree and cost me £39.99.
