    In Canada we have a thing called a "cottage roll" . It's a cut of cured pork that is traditionally boiled. Sometimes I slow roast it instead because I prefer it that way. have it for dinner with mashed potatoes. One of my favourite meals. It looks a lot like this collar bacon, but maybe a different cut. Does anyone here have any technical details on hat it is? I explain it to people as corned beef made with pork.

    Hi Scott. Another super show of yours.
    Tonight I ate an old favourite. You showed how to prepare hanger steaks years ago and I had an Englote tonight.
    I put in my notebook so many of your recipes and have done them all multi times to your spec.
    Shortly, 10 days time, I will do your oxtail recipe again, for my wife, daughter and granddaughter will be away together so it will be shared with my appreciative son-in-law.
    I will also do for a second time that week the Scott Rae pleated pork bellly!
    I am so grateful for all the instuctory videos you posted since I first discovered your postings and subscribed some 6 - 8 years ago.

    Hi Scott, been a little while since you have posted, I love your stuff mate please keep it up, I have tried to buy your books here in Australia but unfortunately missed the boat, any chance of reprints? I have been curing meat,and making salami, sausages and the like, all of my life, following in my grand dads tradition, please keep showing the uneducated how easy it is, because it is a way of life that most are missing out and unfortunately at their loss. My grand daughter has just made her first batch of air dried bacon because she always hit my meat safe with a knife every time that she came, as a child, and later I kept her going with a side or two on occasions. Above all keep smiling bud you are an inspiration.

    • @carfvallrightsreservedwith6649
      @carfvallrightsreservedwith6649 4 місяці тому

      It's the same. Use what salt you want. Weigh meat, calculate 2.5 - 3% salt weight (equilibrium curing), apply, bag, pop into the fridge, rotate daily for prescribed period, remove, give quick rinse, pat dry, hot smoke (since cure was deleted), done.
      Just for reference...., cure salt rates given are maximum permissible amounts (150 ppm) given for cold smoking safety. For color fixation considerably lower rates can be used (e.g. 75 - 100 ppm) when hot smoking.
      If dry curing (#2 cure salt), the amount of curing salt should NOT be reduced (since the slower nitrates break down to nitrites). Nitrites are removed via consummation of process duration and temperatures of 160°F and above.
      Commercially retailed meats claiming to be nitrite free via celery powder use are misleading. Celery powder is LOADED with nitrite but since it's not a SALT it legally cannot be called a cure yet in reality there is NO difference.(Ohhhhhhh, doesn't the cliche' "ignorance is bliss" strike close to home?)
