Hi Roel, why is the recipe not available on your website? Greetings Niels

[@dadssmokehouse]

Looks great Roel! You're sure loving that Masterbuilt! 😁

[@Alex-zi1nb]

loving the more masterbuilt content. i only heard about them ~1 year ago from your channel! before that i was almost about to buy a traeger and just learn to live with the fact they cant really sear. but the masterbuilt is a godsend. i love using briquettes or lump and actual smoke wood vs pellets

[@isorokudono]

Funny thing is, when I was a kid in SoCal, it got cold and rainy too, sometimes even flashfloods from so much rain. There is a chain of Split Pea Soup restaurants called ANDERSEN'S, such good memories going to Torrey Pines to see the waves crash, then having hot soup.

[@jnorth3341]

I'm glad you are using the new masterbuilt, I've had a couple of their 40" Electrics and have been wondering how their charcoal one is glad to see it handles lump charcoal and not just briquettes.

[@RiazUddin-sk3uw]

That plating and presentation was legit fine-dining class 💯

[@guilhermanacas]

That looks incredible

[@peterandersson9204]

Nice recipe, can´t wait to try it. Cool that you have a Fjällräven t-shirt too :)

[@CMMC-zb1gw]

I will try this! Thanks!

[@iandawkins2182]

Looks great, I will try it using Calvados to keep the apple theme.

[@ElcomeSoft]

I'm going to be that guy. Glenrothes is whisky, not whiskey :)

[@MrTimitus]

@@anonymousSWE depends on where the whiskey is coming from! Ireland with E, and they say the ‘e’ is for excellence 😉

[@ElcomeSoft]

@@anonymousSWE whiskey, I believe, is derived from an old Irish term that loosely means 'water of life' and is used to describe Irish and American whiskies. Whisky is the right word for Scottish whiskies, sometimes called Scotch outside of the UK. I am not 100% on my information here but happy to learn and/or share the love.

[@joederue9900]

I usually do differentiate between scotch and other whiskies bu dropping the “e” as well. however you can just type it the all encompassing way, whisk(e)y

[@andrewknaff9220]

I’ve made bacon plenty of times, I never had a vacuum sealer when I did. I have bought one since the last time I made bacon and this video is really getting me excited to make bacon again!

[@CC-wq8yz]

That’s all true! Great video 🙏

[@dwaynewladyka577]

That is some seriously good looking bacon. Cheers, Roel!

[@richardhurst1969]

The recipe is not on the website??

[@fredmcmichael5727]

Couldn't find the recipe

[@asafstuff]

same here, nothing shows up in the recipe section of the website :(

[@ericchase1496]

I am definitely trying this

[@tianjohan4633]

Whiskey bacon mmm, that sounds so delicious. I got to try that. Next time use a proper bag and draw vacuum. You might be surprised by the result if you marinate under vacuum.

[@henningrosenstock3413]

Hey PIT be a MASTER and show us please the recipe on your great website! That would be great, the thumbnail is available, the search result also - but sadly no recipe!

Perfect timing for a Friday arvo in Melbourne! Now I have to wait a week to reap the rewards. 😎👍

I've already set the table ready to digg in! 😋😋😋😋

How was it!?

[@chrishewitt4220]

Sold me as soon as I saw the Glenrothes... beautiful drop and from very near my hometown!

[@40Jdman]

In Canada we have really good apple butter. I think it’s similar to your apple spread.

[@BeardedBrad92]

Man that bacon looks good!

[@jhollie8196]

Did not see recipe for bacon on website. Can anyone tell me the size portions used for this?

[@bryandehoon9304]

Lekker hoor!😍

[@stechuskacktus4287]

Warning. Watching this Vlog can cause multiple heartattacks. But it looks so delicious 😋

[@panjimoulana]

Would you like to test it with the dry aged project in your dry age cabinet but with the same recipe and techniques? Would it be amazing for 14 days dry aged bacon tho

[@joshschneider9766]

Dry aging to remove moisture then brining to remove even more then smoking, which is normally done cold to only impart flavor not cook it, is either going to be awesome or shoe leather. I vote to try it. I am now extremely curious it never occurred to me to brine something dry aged.

[@CookingwithYarda]

Cool !!!

[@darinbeepath629]

love this recipe....

[@manosandrabrainangel]

Ziet er weer erg lekker uit 😋😋

[@billholland2076]

Hickory or applewood here 🍽🍽🍽👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💯💯💯

I have made bacon a few times already. I will try this recipe next

[@donhughes8465]

Now I want BACON! I have got to have a go at that!

[@joshschneider9766]

And having worked as a counter clerk in several delis I can assure anyone reading this that butchers appreciate DIY bacon makers.

Good stuff, when we tried to make our own bacon though it ended up too salty lol

[@wimterstege712]

Looks awesome and it must taste delicious. Really love your videos. I shall add Jack or Jim Whiskey 🥃, where can we find the recipe and can I make this on the green egg or Napoleon gas grill? Groeten uit Rotterdam!👍🥩

[@Chadswonderfulwalkingtours]

I SO wanna cook with you !!

[@rmarasco1420]

Looks amazing. Are you going to share the split pea oil recipe? That sounds great also.

[@rmarasco1420]

Split pea soup....

[@pughums]

what is the make/model of the vacuum food storage machine in this video, would you recommend it?

[@jamesrenner3988]

SUGGESTION - Can you look into typical non-grilled items on the grill? I have had good luck with Carnitas started on the grill with smoke, and finished in the pressure cooker. Can you look into some items like texas chili, non-texas chili, Chili Verde and similar items. Think of things that can be a hybrid of grill and non-grill. Also - please go into the bacon/sauerkraut. My german heritage has sauerkraut with caraway (not a fan) - but I am sure that bacon can make anything better. EDIT - I also have done a nice smoked meatloaf - amazing stuff!!

[@abcertweld]

I need to teach you how to make salt cured smoked bacon and Virginia ham. It takes about 2 months for the bacon, but a great Virginia ham hangs for 2 yrs.

[@jamesrenner3988]

Virginia ham - such a fan. Also a dry cured bacon would be nice.

[@brianjlevine]

Is Apple Spread anything like Apple Jelly or Apple Butter?

[@BlackRainbows1123]

I believe it's very similar to what the States call apple butter. It's basically extremely concentrated apple juice.

[@GhareluKhana]

best video

[@MrThijso]

how would you store this and how long can you keep it in de freezer?

[@Papasann67]

Goeie shit.. thx 😋💪🔥

[@mylesdewaal825]

Yes! Bacon!

[@rsmakgregoor]

If you would made the equivalent with beef, what cut of beef would you use and would you use the same recipe?

[@dominicvancauwenbergh9643]

how do you preserve it when its cooked? how long will it stay good in the fridge? greetings from belgium ;-)

Which smoker is your favorite The Masterbuild or The Burnhard smoker?

Shalom Roel, when can we find the recipe on your great website ? keep on grilling! Greetings Henning

[@hetspook666]

If you can't find applespread you can also buy applejuse and boil ot untill its as thick as the one from pitmaster x its the same.

[@MrBubkee]

No its not.

[@stephenmurray2299]

Guess I need to wait for the recipe to be posted

[@SH-lb1nu]

You should try the Canadian Whiskey "Bear Face"

[@hubbyofmad5122]

Watching this at midnight in AUS bad idea.

[@richardhurst1969]

Can you please add the recipe to the website as it’s missing. Thank you

[@larsmn12]

I asked for this also long ago. They don’t care to reply or do as promised = I don’t care to support Pitmaster X anymore.

[@larsmn12]

Recipe not on website. Please add to description.

I’ve asked also. No reply

I am gonna try this. Maple bacon is great but i have to try wiskey bacon

[@kirknicol4483]

You should retry the biltong experiment

[@ShaonS]

Sorry if I missed it, but what temp did you set the master built to?

[@johnk7093]

should of cut 90 degrees... but its yours, looks good

[@rmftrushing6591]

Bacon jam made from homemade bacon might just be the best thing on Earth.... Seriously... I just gave you an excellent video idea. Do it....

Liked your video on the home made bacon could you please give me the recipe and quantities used thanks Barry

[@dioad1739]

Great recipe but I like hickory wood here in the south.

[@toopharout]

Can I use Spice Rum instead?

[@garthvanguilder9588]

If I still lived in New England, Beech is a good option for local wood....living in Florida though....palm??? ;)

[@jamesatoneill]

When is the recipe available?

[@andymair232]

Again with the whisky! I'm Scots and I drink Rum!!! Please Pitmaster, use Rum. I know you can come up with an amazing dish! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@jaydenschuld7827]

Hey can someone tell me, can you let it sit for 5 days instead of the 7? Will it make much of a difference?

[@JorisDecraecker]

Roel, where did you get your spice mixing jar with the white silicone lid? I really love it, but can't find it anywhere!

[@THEASHER629]

In another video he says its an empty Nutella jar with holes drilled in it.

Appelstroop is leven 😎

[@kayjansen4298]

Hi Roel, heb je de verhoudingen van de pekel ergens staan? Ik wil dit gaan maken maar kan het nergens vinden helaas. :(

[@randomstuff9748]

Apple spread = Apple butter here in the states

[@vincentkraaijeveld719]

Man man man dat ziet er weer top uit!!!!!! Klein dingetje alleen en gelijk een leuk weetje,je gebruikt schotse whisky,dan is het whisky en niet whiskey,dus zonder E. Alleen in ierland en america is het met een E. Sorry kon het niet laten😂🤣

[@joshschneider9766]

Here in the usa my local Wal-Mart sells oak hickory mosquito cherry and apple wood chips in one pound bags. Ill send you an assortment of all of them if you send me a couple lumps of beech

[@joshschneider9766]

Lol mesquite not mosquito

Come on dude everything looks delicious now I want to make bacon, i smoked a pig belly and never thought of making bacon

[@flashieh]

Ik zoek me rot naar het recept, heb ook je boek gekocht maar daar staat ie ook niet in. Kunt u vertellen waar ik het recept kan vinden?

[@dadssmokehouse]

The most popular woods for bacon in the U.S. is hickory or apple wood. 😉

[@raymondprevoo7168]

Hoi even een vraagje ik vind op de site de verhoudingen niet voor te marineren. Zou je me dat even kunnen doorgeven. Groetjes

I see a trend here haha is someone becoming a masterbuilt fan?

[@marvinradimak9322]

Here in the US. We have apple butter.

[@michas.2821]

For me Glenrothes is one of the best whsiky in the world. And one of the best WhiskEy is Blanton´s.

[@ONLYGOODleftistisaDEADleftist]

I have never heard of apple spread. I have heard of (and made) apple preserves, jelly, and butter (all of which may be spread.) So, what do you actually mean by apple "spread?" For recipes like this, I have found that using the raw ingredients used to make the apple "spread" butter, instead of using the already processed apple "spread" butter, provides far better results.

[@julianhuitema7133]

“Apple spread” is apple syrup, only the syrup is really thick. Thats why you need to “spread” it with a knife. They use it often on a slice of bread or on pancakes in the Netherlands

[@mattzach34]

This looks very vegan. I love it!

[@ONLYGOODleftistisaDEADleftist]

Since I am a native Texan, I use ONLY mesquite wood when smoking and natural oak charcoal with mesquite wood chips, NEVER briquettes, when grilling. Mesquite wood is abundant and free in the American southwest, especially in Texas and creates an excellent taste. Mesquite is not indigenous to the United States, as it was brought to the North American continent by Spanish explorers in their horse feed and dispersed throughout the continent by the horses defecation. More than you might have wanted to know. LOL! Have you tried mesquite? If so, what did you think about its flavor?

[@d.fremlin2354]

is the nitrite salt used here 6.25% sodium nitrite the same as prague powder #1 ?

[@Herobox-ju4zd]

Nooooo. In the EU colorozo salt is 0.6% nitrite. The Pitmaster even uses too much colorozo salt in this recipe according to EU guidelines. It should be about 40% EU colorozo salt and 60% regular salt. So he's using a little over 2 times too much colorozo salt in this video.

[@Rawprawned]

No need to use sodium nitrate for low volume short shelf life curing, sodium chloride is much safer. Though nitrates are healthy, after curing and applying heat it converts to a nitrosamine which is a leading cause of bowel cancer (recognised by the WHO at the same confidence as smoking and asbestos). Nitrate was used years ago to prevent Clostridium botulinum, however the maximum amount as prescribed by the FDA does not affect growth of Clostridium botulinum, it does however keep the meat pink and speeds up curing. The EU is pressing heavy to ban all nitrates in meat, having already been adopted by a number of EU countries. Also, the quality of the meat processing and refrigeration has changed dramatically since nitrates were first used. I’ve made 100s kg of bacon, salt, pepper and various flavours (maple or cacao are good) is all that is needed, without the associated risk,.

[@bks7842]

Can I marinate for more than 7 days?

[@BooTangClan]

“the dryer the outside is, the better it picks up smoke” *hides spritzer used to spray literally every meat I ever smoke.

[@morrisonhulshof3224]

😂

[@1018Tim]

Lol. Maybe for bacon. When I do ribs I always hit them with a mix of apple cider vinegar and my rub every 30 minutes..

[@devonsatchell]

Since you mentioned apple pie, think you can make a smoked apple pie????

[@madonionsix3583]

The Glenrothes, is that not a little expensive for a brine ?

Might as well brine it some Laphroaig Cask strength Triple wood

It's called Kicap Manis. You Will be able to find it in an Asian grocer. It is a thickened and slightly sweet type of soy sauce.

Homemade bacon is the best. Now try dry aging a whole smoked pork belly. I’ve done it with the dry aging bags and it is excellent! Dry aged bacon mmmmmm.
