Bacon #2

Update on the bacon:

After two weeks of curing the loin has now cured all the way through and looks a lot like bacon! Interestingly the cure has also dehydrated the meat considerably and it has shrunk and firmed up quite a bit.

The Loin has cured for two weeks and the Nittrite has penetrated all the way through.

Next it goes into the fridge to dry out and then cold smoked.
