Description
🔗 Save Money On Meat With My Complete Butcher’s Method I teach: https://frankmillerbutcher.com
Most store-bought bacon is injected with up to ten percent saltwater solution, meaning you are paying premium prices for water that evaporates the second it hits the pan.
In this video, I will show you how to bypass those expensive pre-packaged trays and turn a whole pork belly into five times more real, unadulterated bacon.
I am sharing 36 essential rules I learned from 31 years behind the butcher block, including the exact equilibrium cure ratios to use at home.
We will talk about my customer Diane, who spent nine dollars a tray for two years before learning that a raw belly costing under four dollars a pound makes a vastly superior product.
If you want to stop overpaying for breakfast and finally master the art of making your own cured meats, this step-by-step breakdown is for you.
