Right.....
Last update. After leaving the 20 hour smoked streaky bacon to settle down for 4 days or so, it was time to taste it.
So we made scrambled eggs for lunch yesterday, so that we could really taste the bacon that we cooked with it. I had three rashers each of the 10 hoursmoking and the 20 hour smoking to see which I preferred, SWMBO had a bit less.
Firstly, we were really hard put to it to tell the difference between them. I think that far more difference came from using 1.25% of sugar as opposed to 2%. So in future, I'll restrict my bacon smoking to 10 hours and thereby cut my smoking costs in half!!
So, when the guys finish work in front of the house, I can bring back the smoker and think about the next batches. We've got some gammon joints still to smoke and of course, the fish to have another go at.
