Thanks f&f. Sounds like any butcher should know.
*note to self. do not ask for this at Tasman meats as it will confuse them.

I've asked for a few different cuts at the Tasman in Brooklyn an dthe guys there have always known what I'm talking about. Last one was when I asked for Chuck Roast and he took me to where they had the Pot Roast and said "here it is" :D

Sorry to dig up an old thread...

I'm looking at making bacon using a rolled pork loin. I'm wondering if the dry cure then smoking to 68ºC as recommended results in a cooked product? Do you still fry it before eating?

And sorry if this is a stupid question, but the regular bacon you buy at the supermarket, would i have been wet cured, and not smoked at all?

Hi Garth. Have a search on the site there are some good threads on making bacon. Although some a little confusing. If you hot smoke the bacon then you don't nessecarily need to fry before eating, although still recommended. If you cold smoke you will definately need to cool before eating. Search for my threads "Naths dry cured bacon" or something like that, I explained how I did it.
