    cdavis We left them in the pan. However, if you wanted more smoke flavor taking it out might be abetter idea if you could get it to hold its form. I’d think you’d have better luck with a wide form that isnt that deep.

        cdavis One thing we recently found was adding Bacon Taste Booster is an inexpensive additive that actually does help it taste more like bacon!

          What do you mean when you refer to smoked meat stabilizer? Are you referring the pink powder #1?

          I recently purchased some items based on several videos I watched and included carrot fiber with the order. Is this the stabilizer you are referring to?

          Thanks in advance.

            Camardelle Smoked Meat Stabilizer is a cure accelerator fir a sausage, shouldn’t be used in a brine or pickle though. So, it works in conjunction with the Sure Cure or Pink salts (same thing) but it does not replace it.

              Jonathon So do I need to add it to my imitation bacon or not? If the spice mix has cure it would seem like I’m good to go if I want to smoke it. Am I on the right track?

                Camardelle what recipe are you using for your bacon? As Jonathon said cure accelerators are used for cured sausages.

                  Camardelle if you use smoked meat stabilizer you can go straight to the smoker. If not you have to hold your product overnight to let the cure work. I hope this helps you out.

                      YooperDog For cured belly bacon I’ve been using this recipe from the food network. We ate some last night and it was awesome. I let the belly cure for usually 7 days, then rinse, test taste and soak depending on salt levels. Then it goes to the fridge to dry for at least two days upon which I smoke till IT gets to 140. So far it’s been a huge hit around the house. I did pick up some bacon rub here that I’m anxious to give a try but I thought I’d try the imitation bacon as well.

                      The Food Network link:

                        Camardelle thanks I will take a look. It has been a while since I made imitation venison bacon. Up till C19 bellies have been pretty easy to get. Things are starting to come back though. And I have using the venison for sausages.
