Dry Cured Bacon Calculator

Postby wheels » Mon Sep 24, 2012 11:58 pm

Blimey, I'm a moderator and still can't work out where stuff about dry cured meat goes!

Anyway, I've done a dry cured bacon calculator on my blog. It should help people in formulating their own dry cured bacon recipes in the knowledge that they will be safe.

It's at http://www.localfoodheroes.co.uk/calcul ... ure_bacon/

I'd appreciate any constructive criticism as to how it can be improved - maybe to include cure #2 for longer term, pancetta type, products?

I'd also appreciate any feedback as to how it displays/functions in the different browsers that you all use.

Hi Wheels

I've just posted here - http://forum.sausagemaking.org/viewtopic.php?t=10745

I have placed a link to a spreadsheet that calcs weights and curing slats etc.

Feel free to use it if it suits.

Cheers

Steve

You might want to specify the concentration of sodium nitrite in the Cure #1 since this can vary in different countries.
