I moved into an apartment next to a Karenus tree. I was there for quite a while, but a few months in me and the tree (I'm mango, myself) started talking. My parents warned me but I didn't listen. We moved to a suburban area, y'know, really started planting our roots. Pollination season, etc, from there, two beautiful little hybrids started to grow. Work was getting stressful, I turned to drinking. (I never was abusive.) My wife got upset and started getting really toxic and controlling, manipulative, and just kinda crazy. One day, I woke up and everything was gone. That god damn Karenus tree. She took the kids, half my money, and many of my possessions. My parents were right. Karenus, if you're reading this, please, just let me see the saplings again. I miss them.
God damn this is a lot of likes go to (not actually gonna link my site, that'd be garbage behaviour, my bad) and buy my fucking shit But yknow what better than my shit? B roll...
I learned how to make bacon from an old time butcher. You don’t need those exact measurements. He taught me Kosher salt, light brown sugar. I now add dark brown sugar. Way more flavor than regular white sugar. He also taught me flip those bags every day for 10 days. Wash the salt off then soak in cold water. Empty the water n do that 2 more times. Dry the belly and let sit in frig on a rack uncovered over night. Then start your smoke. 6-12 hours of smoking till internal meat temp is 159 to 163 degrees. Then put in the frig overnight before slicing. He was butchering over 55 years and I’ve been making bacon for over 12 years. Definitely add the brown sugar it will make the flavor of the bacon 10 levels better than just white sugar!! Delicious!!
How long do you soak it in water before changing the water? How do you know when it's time to stop soaking? Thanks for sharing your tips and wisdom 👍🏽

@@carolnyambura1867 is the curing salt reqiured? I read somewhere it's not that good for you and I don't really care about shelf life as I'll be making small batches anyway
@@Pitbullempirek found this product "ecocure" which does the same thing as curing salts (get rid of harmful bacteria) without the nitrates. I've made one batch of bacon with it and everyone says it's a bomb
I feel like an important, often-overlooked step in bacon preparation is having at least one bourbon during the process. Not enough bacon manufacturers drink bourbon while they make it, and it shows.
This is so awesome when I first started watching this channel I used to cook hamburger helper every night now I have way more confidence in the kitchen I cook our own bread, bacon, and many more dishes I thought I could only buy pre made or in restaurants thank you so much Josh for giving confidence to beginners in cooking!!
@@venomf0 Chewy is not bad, try it. and even if you find it dull make it on vinagreta (vinegar, oil, oregano, chilli flakes, parsley, hard boilde eggs, and others you like).
i’m so glad to see this! We’ve been smoking our own bacon for a couple years now and it is so easy and better than any bacon you have ever had! We use brown sugar and sometimes put maple syrup and lots of cracked pepper. We also flip the pork belly every day for 5 days. Costco almost always has pork belly that’s nice and meaty. No skin on it so both sides get lots of smoke.
I was wondering about different spices to cure the bacon. At the same time, I don’t want to see it treated like American brisket where it’s coated in so much spice, you are never going to taste the actual meat.
This may be my first comment on YT ever…but this one is worth it. I followed his recipe straight up and was shocked at how easy this is. Smoked on a pellet grill with lumberjack hickory, and took about two hours. Results have changed my life. Now looking for workout videos…. Thanks man!
I just made this bacon again for about the 5th time. It's by far the best recipe I've ever tried. Every recipe of yours has turned out perfectly. Now if I make something and it doesn't turn out well my husband asks me 'Is this from the bacon guy'? 'Why did you try anyone else you know he does the best recipes. Thanks for the video. Measuring the cure according to weight is absolutely fantastic. Love Your videos.
We pasture raise our own pork and do all the processing. Including making bacon and country hams. You're dead on with this video. Not bad for a city boy. Lol I really enjoy your videos. Very Informative and well done. Chock full of details, which I thoroughly appreciate. Keep up the good work!
I always look forward to two things when I open a Weissman Video.... his iconic conversation with the camera in the cabinet and the awesome recipe.... always witty, always well-made. A TV show, perhaps?
I can't express how much I've learned from Joshua... My family has been super grateful for me cooking the food, but the thanks should all go towards Joshua
Dude I really love this channel. I also love the old videos the most, just a true culinary guy and his camera sharing knowledge. Love the success and growth of the channel but there is something very special about the early videos and him having all the control and personal touch. Much love to the channel man.
We have been curing our bacon for at least 3 years, sometimes use pre mixed Buckboard Cure from the shop or make our own as per the video but with brown sugar and powdered smoke. Very tasty, cooked nearly every morning in a hooded barbecue. 😋
For those who do not have a smoker - powdered smoke sounds like a great way to go. May I ask how you use it - in the marinade, or just before it goes into the oven? Also - how much (to taste)?
That is so true. Well commented. My children get inspired to cook better. We like your channel. Even my 3 years old think you are cool! Children don’t lie.
Me: Homemade bacon I should try that. Video: It will be quit simple. Me: ok Video: let it rest for 7 days. Me: All right i’ll just buy the usual $5 bacon in the store.
I watched this video many moons ago, but i came back to it cuz i knew it would be awesome. We raise our own pigs and normally we would have the butcher do it when processed. This year i did our own. Let me just say, this was the most amazing bacon i have ever have and i did it myself!!!!!! I own both of your books and I will buy every single one you publish! Love you!!!
Hey Joshua! This is the easiest and best recipe I've found for bacon. Excellent job young man! As an old bacon loving American living overseas for many years I wanted to tell you, way to go! Import bacon is ridiculously expensive. Bacon made overseas is #1 expensive and #2 goes off real fast! I've tried so many recommended recipes for curing bacon only to have it come out too salty, burning easily and sticking to any skillet in the house. This recipe works!
OK, I just fried the first slices of my bacon using this recipe and I have to say it is fantastic! I was expecting the traditional store bought bacon flavor but that is not what this tastes like. It's like a mash up of bacon and crispy/smokey pork belly. I will never buy store bought bacon again!!! Thank you for sharing this video, Joshua!
I'm a recent subscriber and I just have to say I really enjoy all these videos. They make me more confident in cooking and they make me super hungry!! Btw love the hair!!!💕💕
Dude this is my favorite JW recipe. I'm smoking 15lbs right now. And Ive probably made >100lbs since I first watched this video last year. I don't even need to watch the video anymore I've got it all down. Follow JW's recipe and you will have awesome bacon. I don't do any of the aromatics cause my kids hate that stuff. But add in 1/2cup of maple syrup to the cure and oh mama... So good.
I work in a meat market and I see people going ape shit buying bacon when it’s on sale when pork belly is still cheaper I did it in my oven on a plank and it worked fine I’m so happy you had a recipe for it I love watching your videos even if I’m a year late lol
Thank you Josh this helped i did this i used my trager smoker and did hickory pellets i set that puppy on smkke for 20 min then started the cooking process and man it was perfect thank you again i just ordered a full pork belly from work hehe gonna have lots of bacon for a while
I just finished making this today and it was delicious! Maybe a bit over smoked, but still really good. I liked the fact that the cure is measured by weight, not volume. It made it much more pleasant and no faffing around with soaking it to remove any cure. 💯
The vegans are crying from the aesthetic of this video T.T Also I'd love to see some more dessert recipes as I love baking haha (But keep up doing what makes you happy :))
Im just a amateur on cooking basic things and I've been trying to fill my information paletteand looking at your videos it's making me think on how to make these and how to improve my cooking skills
My butcher sold me 1 kg (= 1.000 grams) of curing salt for like 2 Euros. So if I did my math right, based on the measurements from this vid, I have enough curing salt for... 416 kg of pork??
Curing time, as per a suggestion from one of your UK competitors: 24hr per 13mm or ½ inch thickness of the chunk of meat, plus 2 days. I've been doing dried Italian pancetta from pork belly for years, but never attempted American bacon. Have to figure out the cold smoking method, but the cure sounds right. Thanks for the tips.
I had a vegetarian friend who always emphasized that he was vegetarian. He even showed me the vegan patties he ate. But when I found him eating bacon, he told me he was still vegetarian but bacon was his weakness. Like what, are you a vegetarian every other Breakfast???
A vegan told me chimpanzees were vegan. They are except when they hunt warthogs, antelope and monkeys every six weeks. Imagine going on a vegan dating site (if they exist) and calling yourself a vegan except for eight times a year when you hunt for two or three days and gorge yourself on meat.
i found your channel yesterday and i have almost watched all your videos! I love your channel your style of food is right up my alley plus the B Roll is super sweet!!!
Oh and I take the rind off before smoking. It adds more smoke flavor and you don’t have to cut it off after. I use to take it off after about 3 years into making bacon I started taking it off before curing. Much better end product
It’s been a nightmare trying to source saltpetre, so I’ve been making my bacon with only salt, sugar and msg. I just found out today that saltpetre is illegal in Canada. 🙁
Found you by accident, saw this video and I will be loyal to you, I make my own bacon but use Morton Tender Quick , Brown Sugar and Maple Sugar 1 tab each of these 3 ingredients per pound of meat, vacuum seal for up to 2 weeks and cold smoke if you can. Since we live in Vegas can only do this in the winter time here LOL!!! Smoke and enjoy!
I am currently crying so hard right now. This is seriously the most beautiful, well put together story ever. I can’t believe how magical it was 1:12. That part truly made me shed a tear. And especially at 6:34 that part was just so truly heart touching words can not describe the series of emotions I felt. I absolutely loved the climax it had insanely excellent detail. Oh and we can’t forget the conclusion. The conclusion was the greatest and saddest conclusion I have ever seen better than any of the books I have read. Thank you so much for creating this absolute masterpiece. This is essentially the most important masterpiece of film history. It is a tragedy that this, it can’t be called a film, but a transcendent emotional experience, will be inaccessible for most. It beautifully encapsulates the human struggle to its basics; suffering, pleasure, faith, despair. It connects with the characters within the viewers, individuals suppressed within our own subconscious.

I will move on , gotta move on , as the song says. the bacon is so inspirational , it shares it vast wisdom with all of us , and we are all so lucky that it would bestow it's great words with us. we are all children on bacon. hail bacon. hail bacon. The spinning bacon, rotating in one direction with this music... This made me tear up. How could such a bacon do such a thing? I'm struck by awe by this masterpiece. Especially when the bacon spins, showing its lightly salt covered tan skin. I can hear the crunch just from here, and so as the beautiful sound of the bacon scraping the dark, smooth velvet floor. The flavor, music and everything can be heard, tasted, seen and felt from a screen. You can really hear the breaths between the music artist, empathizing her love for this rotating bacon. Truly what I call modern art. This was the most legendary performance by any piece of bacon I have ever watched. The acting was top tier and very life changing.

I made sure to separate the suburbs from the city. I made Bacon Cheese Whoppers in Chicago to eat. Eat Hamburgers&Bacon in Chicago. Cityside. It’s not blue this time around. Make sure it’s Black Labeled.
Started making this at the start of pandemic and been heating home made bacon ever since. Living in the UK it’s been wonderful to have real bacon that fries in its own rendered fat rather than some limp thing that weeps white water like so much of the local “bacon.”
The curing salt is not necessary if you smoke or bake the belly to above 140 degrees. The sodium nitrite is only necessary if you cold smoke it. Botulism toxin can't survive in a high salt environment and is killed at temps above 140.
Dry cure and cold smoke is bacon. Basically cooked it in the smoker, making a fully cooked product, which shoukd then be handled as left-overs. It is not preserved at all. It only needs to be cooked once. In the frying pan.
Start by planting two bacon seeds,
WAAAA
I moved into an apartment next to a Karenus tree.
I was there for quite a while, but a few months in me and the tree (I'm mango, myself) started talking. My parents warned me but I didn't listen.
We moved to a suburban area, y'know, really started planting our roots.
Pollination season, etc, from there, two beautiful little hybrids started to grow. Work was getting stressful, I turned to drinking. (I never was abusive.)
My wife got upset and started getting really toxic and controlling, manipulative, and just kinda crazy. One day, I woke up and everything was gone.
That god damn Karenus tree. She took the kids, half my money, and many of my possessions. My parents were right.
Karenus, if you're reading this, please, just let me see the saplings again. I miss them.
Wait, isn't bacon a bug? I read that it was a bug (Type: Bacola scertopia ).
Everyone here is wrong. Bacon doesn't grow. It is mined in a baconmine and it is extracted from bacon ore.
I was trying to find an r/woosh in here but damn everybody is to smart

LMAO@ The pop up tent for protection from the rain. That is severe dedication!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Appreciate!
I work in a meat market and I see people going ape shit buying bacon when it’s on sale when pork belly is still cheaper I did it in my oven on a plank and it worked fine I’m so happy you had a recipe for it I love watching your videos even if I’m a year late lol
But how so I substitute in my sourdough starter?
Bosco Albert instead of the salt just smear starter on it. It’s like the same thing 😂
I audibly laughed in an empty room when I read this. Thank you.
Pwahaha!!!
@@JoshuaWeissman plz include metric units in video at least!
Put some bacon in your next sourdough bread :-)
Thank you Josh this helped i did this i used my trager smoker and did hickory pellets i set that puppy on smkke for 20 min then started the cooking process and man it was perfect thank you again i just ordered a full pork belly from work hehe gonna have lots of bacon for a while
100 vegans didn’t like the joke in the beginning
Or could be the use of nitrates 🥵
Or maybe he is referring to vegan bacon, if there are any
athon penter
Reee
MaZEEZaM
Any alternative?
And the rest of them nodded sadly in agreement
I just finished making this today and it was delicious! Maybe a bit over smoked, but still really good. I liked the fact that the cure is measured by weight, not volume. It made it much more pleasant and no faffing around with soaking it to remove any cure. 💯
I really like your channel, you remind me of a Young Alton Brown. Keep them coming.
Huge compliment to me, I love Alton Brown!
Thy are rebooting good eats!!
When Alton still had some hair.
Just made this recipe and I smoked the meat with applewood and it is sooo good. Definitely something I will be doing again!!!
math and bacon, two things i love!!!
Lol, thought it was meth

I usually hate seeing these comments but now I get it 😅 you deserve more subs and attention to your channel
Thankyou for ingredients measured in gramms
+1 to this. I wish more UA-camrs did this with weights and temperatures.
Of course you would have my go to video/recipe for making bacon. You deserve more credit for making these videos... You are a wizard.
The vegans are crying from the aesthetic of this video T.T
Also I'd love to see some more dessert recipes as I love baking haha (But keep up doing what makes you happy :))
KLemonLime totally happy to do more desserts. Thank you for suggesting. 😊
Np! I can't wait to see them :)
You sir are god damn right, I'm vegan and keep watching this kind of videos hahaha
I’m smoking my bacon today. Thanks for the video. It was extremely helpful.
For a sec i thought "Wow, we are going to raise a pig at home!" hahaha
No matter how often i saw this shelf opening its epic every time
Mommmmu I’m hungryyy. How long is breakfast almost done
Mom: don’t worry only 7 more days
Nicely done. I made one batch that turned out too salty and cubed it as mentioned...it made the absolute best fried rice!
Teach us how to make a homemade coconut with activated almonds next

What people said were true. There's a lot of charm in the older videos. I really liked this one.
"Why are you opening the cabinet and talking?" "I'm talking to the people living in my cabinet..."
Im just a amateur on cooking basic things and I've been trying to fill my information paletteand looking at your videos it's making me think on how to make these and how to improve my cooking skills
I used tofu with this method. Didn't end well.
Gene tofu is pretty good when done right
Gene Try tofu with meat. It sucks as a meat substitute.
that's what you get
@@rlpn6710 fried tofu is the bomb honestly
@Gene ever heard of something called asians
I’m addicted to your channel
Being a vegan cook is like being an artist who only paints with blue red and yellow
Ender Shard It's more like being an artist who hates the smell of paint
@@garfield5179 yeah true
I just made my first slab of bacon. Then this video was recommended. I’ll try your technique next time. I will say my homemade bacon is delicious.
My butcher sold me 1 kg (= 1.000 grams) of curing salt for like 2 Euros. So if I did my math right, based on the measurements from this vid, I have enough curing salt for... 416 kg of pork??
It's been 2 years I hope you have made good use of that curing salt
Awesome to see you showing how to make home-cured stuff JOSH!!! I make pancetta and it’s so simple. Keep cooking dude!! Love your channel😊
i saw how to make bacon and i immediatley thought; "aint no way he gon build a pig"
Curing time, as per a suggestion from one of your UK competitors: 24hr per 13mm or ½ inch thickness of the chunk of meat, plus 2 days. I've been doing dried Italian pancetta from pork belly for years, but never attempted American bacon. Have to figure out the cold smoking method, but the cure sounds right. Thanks for the tips.
Master chef junior winners: 1:09- HOW DARE HE!!
I am looking forward to making this bacon . It is a very informative video that Josh put out there.
"Everyone loves bacon"
My GF who's a Muslim: DiSgUstEnG
Me who's a pinoy: ah
Bacon is disgusting,so do you
This is perfect. I dispatched and butchered a pig a few weeks ago and have 2 large pork belly's I wanted to turn into bacon. Thank you!

I had a vegetarian friend who always emphasized that he was vegetarian. He even showed me the vegan patties he ate. But when I found him eating bacon, he told me he was still vegetarian but bacon was his weakness.
Like what, are you a vegetarian every other Breakfast???
"you know why the Vegan crossed the road?...To tell another person he was Vegan"

A vegan told me chimpanzees were vegan. They are except when they hunt warthogs, antelope and monkeys every six weeks. Imagine going on a vegan dating site (if they exist) and calling yourself a vegan except for eight times a year when you hunt for two or three days and gorge yourself on meat.
You’ve grown so much joshu, I’m so proud
I made it a month ago and i smoked it with mariju*na leaves.
@montanadoctor You can do the first 2 without the last one, you know?
i found your channel yesterday and i have almost watched all your videos! I love your channel your style of food is right up my alley plus the B Roll is super sweet!!!
Where has peppa gone? She’s been gone for a while now.
My grandma and grandpa make a LOT of home made bacon (they live on a farm) and it’s always the best.
"You know how to make bacon. It's not rocket science" My Phd and NASA both disagree...
Just butchered a Heritage Breed Guinea Hog today and cannot wait to make my own bacon out of the belly! Thanks for the tutorial.
"Everybody loves it, even vegans" Try and say that to a Muslim
Jewish too
Their loss.
LOL 😂
i'm muslim btw i find this funny as hell 😂
Turkey bacon...
I used to be Muslim and finally tried bacon couple months ago. It was good the first couple times but now I really don't like the taste.
Oh and I take the rind off before smoking. It adds more smoke flavor and you don’t have to cut it off after. I use to take it off after about 3 years into making bacon I started taking it off before curing. Much better end product
It’s been a nightmare trying to source saltpetre, so I’ve been making my bacon with only salt, sugar and msg. I just found out today that saltpetre is illegal in Canada. 🙁
Found you by accident, saw this video and I will be loyal to you, I make my own bacon but use Morton Tender Quick , Brown Sugar and Maple Sugar 1 tab each of these 3 ingredients per pound of meat, vacuum seal for up to 2 weeks and cold smoke if you can. Since we live in Vegas can only do this in the winter time here LOL!!! Smoke and enjoy!
Ok, i don't understand "lasts 2-3 weeks" mine wouldn't survive the first days 🤔
It should survive more or less indefinitely. That's suppose to be the result of curing in any case.
I am not going to buy a store bought again.. wow, this is awesome. Thank you
Please keep it away from animals
*uses it on a animal*
"Please give it to specific animals"
Bro that intro gave me chills! "WRONG" *CHILL OVERLOAD.
I am currently crying so hard right now. This is seriously the most beautiful, well put together story ever. I can’t believe how magical it was 1:12. That part truly made me shed a tear. And especially at 6:34 that part was just so truly heart touching words can not describe the series of emotions I felt. I absolutely loved the climax it had insanely excellent detail. Oh and we can’t forget the conclusion. The conclusion was the greatest and saddest conclusion I have ever seen better than any of the books I have read. Thank you so much for creating this absolute masterpiece. This is essentially the most important masterpiece of film history. It is a tragedy that this, it can’t be called a film, but a transcendent emotional experience, will be inaccessible for most. It beautifully encapsulates the human struggle to its basics; suffering, pleasure, faith, despair. It connects with the characters within the viewers, individuals suppressed within our own subconscious. It stays vibrant, fresh, and revolutionizes the art of storytelling and filmmaking while making a damn of statement on what it means to be human. Entertaining, gripping, and simply exhilarating. This might be the most impactful piece of art I’ve come across in my life, and I’m definitely coming back to it in the near future to study it more deeply. this is an absolute masterpiece , I was brought to tears listening to this and seeing the bacon go whirly swirly in a circle countless times. it absolutely moved my soul , and I don't think I can ever be the same. this bacon has changed my entire mental state , I am now at peace with who I am and what I will be doing later in my life. i have forgiven all my enemies and now I am a man of a pacifist life. I will move on , gotta move on , as the song says. the bacon is so inspirational , it shares it vast wisdom with all of us , and we are all so lucky that it would bestow it's great words with us. we are all children on bacon. hail bacon. hail bacon. The spinning bacon, rotating in one direction with this music... This made me tear up. How could such a bacon do such a thing? I'm struck by awe by this masterpiece. Especially when the bacon spins, showing its lightly salt covered tan skin. I can hear the crunch just from here, and so as the beautiful sound of the bacon scraping the dark, smooth velvet floor. The flavor, music and everything can be heard, tasted, seen and felt from a screen. You can really hear the breaths between the music artist, empathizing her love for this rotating bacon. Truly what I call modern art. This was the most legendary performance by any piece of bacon I have ever watched. The acting was top tier and very life changing. This is one of the greatest work from a piece of bacon I have ever seen especially on 57:42.I am currently crying so hard right now. This is seriously the most beautiful, well put together story ever. I can’t believe how magical it was at 1:12. That part truly made me shed a tear.

It beautifully encapsulates the human struggle to its basics; suffering, pleasure, faith, despair. The work put in to this is incredibly inspiring. The graphics, the animation, the music, so much thought was put into it. This has remined me that you can do anything you put your mind to. Not even mentioning the memories, this makes me feel like an infant again, just laying my eyes on this beautiful masterpiece gives me all the good feelings in life. I also understand what happiness is again from this. Not even to mention the most incredible part that is 2:10. Bacon spinning has changed my life for the better.

I cried, beat off, and also watched a movie while watching this premiere. This has made me go through so much. I passed depression because of this. It really inspired me to become an outstanding young man. Thank you.
Happy 4 million subs
Next time peel off the skin before curing the meat
Have made this many times and it's always worth it.
ThaNKS this looks much more easy than others.
Just made it following your recipe. Came out excellent. Thanks for sharing it!!! Real bacon. Home made!!
I made sure to separate the suburbs from the city. I made Bacon Cheese Whoppers in Chicago to eat. Eat Hamburgers&Bacon in Chicago. Cityside. It’s not blue this time around. Make sure it’s Black Labeled.
Started making this at the start of pandemic and been heating home made bacon ever since. Living in the UK it’s been wonderful to have real bacon that fries in its own rendered fat rather than some limp thing that weeps white water like so much of the local “bacon.”
There's a good brand in the UK called "naked bacon", nothing but salt, pork and smoke.
Looks delicious! My belly has been curing for 6 days. Can't wait till tomorrow!
The curing salt is not necessary if you smoke or bake the belly to above 140 degrees. The sodium nitrite is only necessary if you cold smoke it. Botulism toxin can't survive in a high salt environment and is killed at temps above 140.
This is more or less exactly the way I make it. Makes a great Christmas present!
Thickly sliced bacon? Yesss, sir! That's the way!
I wanna be in Josh's family so whenever it's Thanksgiving I get to eat his food
Tried this. You nailed it .yum!
Patience is the hardest ingredient to find, trust me.
Dry cure and cold smoke is bacon. Basically cooked it in the smoker, making a fully cooked product, which shoukd then be handled as left-overs. It is not preserved at all. It only needs to be cooked once. In the frying pan.
