Need to start using bacon as a measurement
I think it's a little overcooked for my liking. I used my toaster oven and double layered the bacon, flipping them halfway.
I am wondering how many of you like crispy bacon vs not crispy?
Btw they were still delicious.
The last post that I could find was from 16 years ago, so looking for current opinions on the best mail order bacon to order as a gift. (In the US.)
ps. Not looking to spend as much as a subscription.
When you guys make bacon, how do you determine the amount of seasonings and stuff to put in?
I like to make a garlic and black pepper bacon. I always use the cure calculator for the cure part and then just eyeball the rest. I would like to get it down to a standard so my results are the same each time.
I normally weigh ingredients.

I enjoy my Bacon crispy
Very impressed with the bacon and waffles, not so much for the rest of the buffet.
going to make bacon for the 3rd time but using the equilibrium method. I have read a lot of articles and looked at a lot of calculators to make my own, so I can adjust the saltiness as I like. For anyone who likes their bacon less salty, do you find 2.2% total salt good? Any recommendations welcome.
Curing Salt= 0.25%
Kosher Salt= 2.2% - (the 0.025% curing salt)
Sugar= 1.5%
Black pepper= 1.5%
