skippy740 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Based on your profile... why are you canning bacon? It'll probably KILL you! (Profile says she's 112 years old!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DeborahC Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Skippy, I'm canning bacon for my food supply. I do a lot of canning, prepping, survival type "stuff."

skippy740 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I knew you were doing it for food storage. I was just messing with you. To update your DOB: At the top of the screen, find "My Account". Click on it. On the left side of the screen, find "Account Settings". Click on it. Enter date of birth... but do it DD/MM/YY. (I know, it's backwards for US posters.) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingnut Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Wouldn't canning bacon make it soggy? This just doesn't sound good to me. Or it is canned raw and preserved to be cooked whenever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dravin Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Wouldn't canning bacon make it soggy? This just doesn't sound good to me.A quick zap in the microwave will revive bacon that has gone a bit soft. Looking at the link it doesn't look any more soggy than the precooked bacon you can pick up at the store which responds well to the microwave trick so I suspect it'd work just fine for the canned stuff.

Vort Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Prosciutto is pretty good.Ironically, while I was in Italy I didn't really like it much. It wasn't until after I got home that I really got a hankering for prosciutto crudo.Note: The Italian term prosciutto crudo just means "raw ham". The word prosciutto alone means "ham", not "raw ham". It's also not quite technically correct to call it "raw" (crudo), since it is salt-cured and smoke-cured, but that's what it's called. Which means, ironically, that the slightly incorrect English use of the borrowed Italian term is arguably more correct than the original Italian. Go figure.

Guest DeborahC Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Wouldn't canning bacon make it soggy? This just doesn't sound good to me. Or it is canned raw and preserved to be cooked whenever?The first batch we canned (which I haven't posted on the blog yet) was just put into the jars raw and then processed.When you pressure can it, you're basically cooking it for 90 minutes, so in an emergency, a person COULD eat it out of the jar. But it's the texture of raw bacon. It also makes it really fragile, so it is easiest cooked in a pan or in the oven for things like an omelette or casserole.This bacon I did yesterday, however, is cooked in the oven until just beginning to brown. So these strips aren't as fragile. You can put it in the oven on 350 degrees and it will crisp right up. You also can make a sandwich out of it right out of the jar and it's crisp enough for some people.Most of my storage food is more for emergency use.Even the rice and oatmeal and wheat (which lasts 30 years when dry=pack canned) isn't something I thought I'd eat everyday.But, I have not had an income in 7 years, and my food storage has saved my tail!I'm glad that even though I wasn't active, I kept up my year's supply!

Suzie Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I could never can bacon, it would never reach the jar even if it begs for mercy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
