<![CDATA[Using a vacuum tumber]]>I have built my own vacuum tumbler and will be using the blue ribbon maple bacon cure and bacon taste booster that I have just ordered. I was wondering what percent of water I should add to the meat and how much of each product that I should use per 100 pounds of meat.

Has anyone done a dry cure bacon using a vacuum tumbler? I dry cure now and am looking for a way to execrate the curing time.

Both were lots of fun and had some good stories mixed in. For Pheasants and Quails forever we are a national sponsor, they do a good job trying to preserve and promote upland hunting spaces.

They might already be active, one is through Pass it on and the other is through Pheasants/Quals Forever. They will also be on sale this holiday season!

Maybe Walton’s will do this as a give away and I will win… NOT. Maybe black Friday then.

I have had good success with everything from beef roasts to chicken thighs and pork loin. Really speeds the process up and gets maximum penetration and tenderization.

At first I thought this was pretty much just for jerky. What other things can you tumble in it? Is there some kind of a tumbling schedule that comes with new ones ? What do you guys tumble in your vacuum tumblers?

Although you can use the same cure to make both products you will have to make some adjustments, as there are different requirements for ingoing PPM of the nitrites based on whether you are making bacon or ham. I would suggest you just use the cure that was made for each product as it is easier. Now I just want to say I am no expert and this is how I would go about making either of those products.

Can I substitute Blue Ribbon Maple Bacon cure instead of Excalibur Country Brown Sugar Cure?

Would it work to tumble the bacons and hams together? I notice several difference in the recipies, the bacon one calls for adding 10% and the ham recipe calls for adding 20% to the weight. Also the Ham recipe calls for cold phosphate which the bacon doesn’t use.

I am not sure I have room for it, so may have to add onto the garage soon. It just sounds like a major flavor enhancer.

Now, I don’t know what your tumblers speed capabilities are but you want to make sure that it isn’t spinning too quickly.

There is some good information here https://meatgistics.waltonsinc.com/topic/2557/looking-for-recipes-and-time-charts-on-vacuum-meat-tumbling from a post where mikemikemike created his vacuum tumbler
