Can science help you perfect the art of homemade bacon?
In short: After a ten-year hiatus from bacon making, Glen and Friends Cooking returns with a scientific approach. This video explores the fundamental methods of creating bacon through dry cures and brines using precise equilibrium calculations.
This series investigates the core mechanics of bacon production by testing different curing techniques. The process begins by establishing reliable salt ratios through equilibrium calculations, ensuring the base recipe is chemically sound before introducing complex spices and aromatics.
By moving beyond simple seasoning to a more rigorous recipe development process, the creators aim to master the three basic methods of bacon making. This systematic testing ensures that the final flavors are built upon a mathematically accurate foundation.
