Title: Pork Belly - A different Kind Of Bacon
Post by: Skhilled on July 16, 2020, 11:18:01 AM

To those who don't know, bacon is pork belly that is cured with sodium nitrates or sodium nitrites and is usually smoked to some extent. Here's a video showing how to make pork belly uncured with crispy skin on it like pork rinds. I love watching these vids America Test Kitchen have because of the science behind them.  :thumbup:

Whoa! That brings back memories!  :thumbup:
I can remember eating this as a child and while I do not remember the recipes or the process there were several ways to do it with some coming out like this recipe and some with not just the rind/skin crispy but also the meat being crunchie as well.

BTW... I thought that it was funny when the guy says that he was using kosher salt.
