Bacon ready
-
cdavis l have. I am going to do a test with my next bacon project and do one with and w/o. I am thinking it adds a bit more saltiness than I like. I never did a comparison and the opportunity is approaching.
YooperDog let us know what the big difference is. I did not use it on my last batch, but did add a little brown sugar and coarse black pepper prior to the smoke. I was happy with how it came out, but have wondered how the booster would have made it taste.

GWG8541 I have no basis for comparison as this was my first batch. I added amounts per Jonathan and Austin’s video on dry rub bacon, The taste is great. I also added a large amount of ground up dehydrated jalepeno flakes and black pepper which further layered the taste. Maybe next time I will just do the rub and bacon flavor enhancer.

Did anyone use bacon taste booster on their dry rub bacon.
I have not tried it. Here is a list of the ingredients. Not sure I see any magic flavor bullets listed there.
There is another version of bacon flavor booster that includes the same ingredients plus MSG, which we all know enhances the flavor of anything that it is added to.
Sugar, Salt, Dextrose, Spice Extractives (Including Celery).

Although I’ve only done one round of bacon, why would you add a bacon enhancer to what ultimately is…bacon?
I can see doing that if you’re trying to add bacon flavor to something other than…bacon. Hmm. -

GWG8541 i am looking at the first week in January. I have a bunch of holiday cooking and some sausage making between now and then. It is on my experiment list and I will post what I learn.

bocephus I used it on my imitation bacon and thought it did really well. I just didn’t know if I should use it on dry rub bacon or not.

Jonathon’s reply to a post…
I always said that when using Dry Rub Bacon cure that you don’t need the Bacon Taste Booster as that is used to impart an old-world/classic flavor when using modern curing methods like injecting and tumbling. He did put a caveat about imitation bacon being better with it, so maybe someone needs to do a blind taste test. -
