Brits Try to Make [AMERICAN HOMEMADE BACON] for the first time!

Welcome back to the kitchen of Mr. H and friends, where family and food come together in the most delightful ways! In our latest gastronomic adventure, we found ourselves with an abundant piece of pork belly, and what better way to utilize this succulent cut than by transforming it into homemade bacon? Join Mr. H, Mrs. H, and the adorable Baby Elana as we dive into the artisanal process of bacon-making from scratch.
Watch as we cure it with a meticulously chosen blend of spices and salts, we'll guide you through each step with tips and tricks we've learned along the way. Witness the transformation over several days as the pork belly cures, absorbing the flavors and spices that will turn it into delicious bacon.
But the process doesn't end there! After curing, we thoroughly rinse the meat and then slice into our homemade bacon, frying the succulent pieces savoring the aroma and anticipating the taste, we'll share our first impressions and tasting notes with you. Will it beat the store-bought versions? Watch to find out!
Yet, our culinary journey doesn't stop here. With more pork belly left to experiment with, we're contemplating taking it to our new Franklin offsett pit for a BBQ smoked masterpiece. Should we? Your input is invaluable to us, so drop your suggestions in the comments below.

AliExpress sells child size rubber gloves. 50 gloves for 95p and free shipping. Alena could use them when helping you and when doing artwork. To make American bacon you'll need some "Pink Salt". Not Himalayan but pink curing salt. Theres a formula you can find that tells you how much to add. I did some cold smoked orange flavored bacon. Came out awesome. Smoked it with applewood.

[@Nimbus1701]

This is truly exceptional. To be honest and fair, outside of some farms, butchers, and some hunters, hardly anyone here processes and cures their own bacon. Many of us could take a few lessons from Mrs. H. Edit: you can add bacon to your own homemade pizza. A meat lovers style pizza is fantastic with bacon, or even a supreme pizza with mushrooms, onions, olives, and peppers. You can also chop it up (rough chop or fine chop) and put it to top off a salad, in a baked potato, or in a homemade mac & cheese.

[@ratlips4363]

1/2 inch cubes for use in split pea soup. Dice it up small, fry it until crisp and put it on salad as a bacon crumble. Small pieces in a pan with sliced yellow/white onions and slow cook for caramelized onions. Try cooking the bacon strips in a pan, on medium low with a small amount of water. The water will allow the fat to render while not over cooking the meat. AND, always save the bacon fat as it can be stored in the fridge and used to cook in rather than oil/butter

Crispy bacon is the greatest food on earth. Just wish it was healthier.

[@KTKacer]

Well, my grandmother is 95 & 1/4 years old. and it was bacon, fried chicken, or pork chops for virtually every meal she cooked (and she cooked them all from 17-87? 88 maybe?) She saved her bacon grease to make biscuits and (bacon grease)gravy once a month she might do a meatloaf, but everything else she ate (aside from eating out - generally after Church) each week, or eating at my mom's or uncles for birthdays, mother's or father's day's etc.. and holidays it was mainly those meats... pork chops, bacon, fried chicken, occasionally chicken & dumplings. So... how unhealthy can it really be? But in the mid to late summers we had a LOT of "garden meals" the meat? ALWAYS either bacon (75% of the time) or Pork chops (25% of the time) then there were green fried (in bacon grease) tomatoes, mashed, creamed (so boiled then finished in butter and milk with a little flour to thicken) or fried potatoes - if mashed butter, if fried - bacon grease, cooked cabbage, green beans again - IN BACON GREASE sometimes we'd have corn on the cob, other times it was just cooked on the stovetop after being cut OFF the cob in some water and butter, sometimes milk & butter. She'd usually do cucumbers and onion in vinegar. IF there were only green tomatoes, no red yet it was just the green fried, if there were also red, she'd peel and slice a bout 3 tomatoes and we'd take a slice, salt & pepper it and eat w/ the meal... but I THINK was everything , but MOST of it was bacon or w/ bacon grease... just sayin'. 95 - 1/4 years old... Oh, She also had a BLT or club sandwich for lunch more than a little bit... but usually it was bacon, or fried pork chops, mashed potatoes (summer, spring, fall or winter) but sometimes fried, sliced tomato, green beans (w/bacon grease to season along w/ salt & pepper) sometimes w/ cooked cabbage - but that got bacon grease too w/ salt & pepper that or one of the sandwiches was usually 'lunch' for her, my uncle, me and papa most days (he, and usually, my uncle when he was working w/ papa or still at home) at daily for lunch.

[@willcool713]

Sugar and honey have been used as a preservative and antiseptic since prehistory. Salt, pepper, and smoke are also classic preservatives. And fyi, by popular consensus, you cannot cut American bacon too thick. Have you thought of trying a club sandwich? You'd need some good turkey. Something to try smoking, perhaps. If you smoke some bacon with the same recipe, I would use nut or fruit wood, if you have the choice. And I would definitely spritz it down with an apple cider vinegar wash to balance the sweet with sour, since you're adding depth with smoke. Plus it keeps the bark from becoming a rind, which happens more easily with preserved meats. My two cents. Looks good!

[@dalemoore8582]

You can cut It too thick for me. I like thin bacon.

[@willcool713]

@@dalemoore8582 I like crispy, too, especially on sandwiches. But for most people, as long as you don't need a knife to cut it, thicker bacon is better.

You might consider getting a “Meat Slicer” They are not overly expensive and since the two of you have “Gone All In” When it comes to American BBQ getting a Meat Slicer would be a great addition to your kitchen appliances. Smoked Turkey Smoked Bacon Smoked Brisket Over Roasted Chicken Oven Roasted Turkey Corn Beef Pastrami And Countless more meats (And Yes,,,,,Cheese) Having a Slicer would allow you to make Sandwiches so much easier and faster. As well as just “Portioning Out” Hunks of meat for Freezing or refrigerating for later use. Imagine how much quicker slicing up 4+ pounds of Bacon would be with a meat slicer (Plus, the thinness or thickness would be consistent Every Time).

[@russellrofe4849]

American style "streaky" bacon will continue to crisp up after you remove it from the pan, so if you like just a little crispy, take it out a bit early. You can also bake it in the oven on a flat pan for even cooking. (325-375F) And a meat slicer can help get uniform thickness of the slices.

[@larrym.johnson9219]

You don't have to use curing salt just plenty of regular salt is fine. Also you could do what's called cold smoking the pork belly after it's done curing. Temp around 110 degrees Fahrenheit for like 10 to 12 hrs then you can cook it any way you like it. Bacon in the oven is the easiest way to cook it and not burn or make a big mess. Also if you line your pan with foil it's easier to gather up the grease and save it for cooking eggs in.

[@Scot_WestTexas]

[@tylerpaschall4363]

Tennessee here, and I'm from a barbecue family, so I just have to ask. What kind of wood did you use in your smoker? If I watch your smoker episode, am I going to get angry? I don't want to because I really like your videos, and I love when you try out doing American things for yourself. But I'm guessing it's like watching Americans try to play Cricket. There's someone screaming, "Why are you swinging the bat at shoulder level!?!?!?" I'm not sure what else you can do with the actual bacon, but if you pour the bacon grease into a jar and keep it in the fridge, you can use it to coat your skillet to make pancakes, scrambles eggs, cooking up some chopped potatoes, etc. It just adds more flavor than cooking oil does.

BLT sandwiches, save the bacon grease and use it to season green beans and cut up some tiny pieces of bacon and onion to go in the green bean dish as well. Green onion, bacon pieces, shredded cheddar, and a dollop of sour cream on sliced open long-ways "jacket potatoes" so YUMMY! Classic bacon and eggs for breakfast (with the eggs cooked in the bacon grease), We like "thick cut" bacon as well. BLTs are best on loaf bread not crusty thick bread.

Just remember. mom (the look) KZbin is forever.... Alana might check some of these out some day... (Just sayin' ;) I vote yes for smoker bacon. Do some BLT's! (it's even a BRITISH dish! Just one you seem to have dropped, but those Brits 'left' in the USA picked right up & spread the delight to the other Americans who didn't know about them!) So very popular here in the USA (in fact had one for lunch!) Don't forget the mayo, and lightly toast the bread! Then a tomato slice or 3, some lettuce, a bit of pepper & salt and voila! ETA: I think you should fry up some bacon, then make biscuits and gravy (the gravy you make w/ the bacon grease and flour, salt & pepper w/ milk) the bacon is mainly to eat w/ the biscuits and gravy - and to get the grease to MAKE gravy ;) Ken Click has a good recipe he calls bacon gravy pepper gravy... but it's one in the same. (also he's doing it in 2 separate, but identical mini appliances...so you'd need to expand on the recipe a bit and just do biscuits as he says, just do not make as soupy as he did, and make drop biscuits to make it easy.

Looking forward to this. Umm, you do know what the southern American slang definition of "makin' bacon" means, right?

Louisiana in the house love bacon lettuce tomato sandwiches. Put bacon in baked beans or crumbled in salads topping for baked potatoes even put in mac and cheese.

One is only left to wonder where you got a 'green' pork belly. You must have a great butcher in your area. Keep them . . . They are a treasure.

Great! I know plenty of us suggested bacon. Homemade bacon is GREAT!

That bacon grease is perfect for making gravy to put on top of biscuits. That bacon grease will make your gravy flavor be outstanding. I always save my bacon grease.

Impressive! I don't know anybody here is the US that makes their own bacon. We just buy it at the supermarket and fry it up.
