Ross & Ross Gifts - Smoky Bacon Curing Kit (1 x 60g) - The Homemade Bacon Curing Tube

The idea is nice, it's basically all I need to cure some bacon put in a tube which is conveniently easy to give as a present too.It's easy to use as all I had to do was following some simple instructions.The flavour is awesome, it's by far my favourite one.I think it's a great present for anyone or a nice way to do something cool at home.

This Ross & Ross Gifts Homemade Smoky Bacon Curing Kit comes in a cardboard tube with all you need to cure a fresh pork belly joint into delicious home cured bacon. The tube has a jar of dried curing mix, a long muslin tube, a butchers hook and instructions. I purchased a joint of pork belly from Sainsbury’s, the instructions recommend a 1.5kg joint but mine is half this, but I wanted to try this so that’s fine, although it’s only 60g a little goes a long way and you can use less with a small piece of pork. I also used a vacuum bag to put the joint with the cure and then I vacuum sealed it and put it in the bottom of the fridge as per the instructions. I’ve got as far as turning the bag and I’m going to take it out soon and rinse the bacon joint before putting it in the knotted muslin to hang from the hook in the fridge for 3 days before it’s ready to slice. I can’t wait. The smoky cure smells amazing, I will update you when it’s finally ready to slice and cook, meanwhile please see my photos of what you get and what I’ve done. I hope my review is helpful to you, thank you for reading it.Update as promised: well it was worth the wait, this smoky bacon is totally delicious, not at all salty just a really good smoky taste to the bacon, hubby said the best he’d tried. I absolutely recommend this delightful cure, please see my photos.

This is a really nice set that produces great flavour bacon and makes a great gift. So firstly this is presented in a really nice tube that holds all of the components nicely and would make for an excellent gift presentation. Inside is everything needed to cure bacon at home minus the meat. The set comes with a small glass jar of seasoning, a hook and a bag for the meat, it does not seem like an awful lot when you first take it out, but the seasoning does go a long way.The seasoning smells really nice and strong when in the jar and the finished product is very nice, it is pretty strong so great if you really like smokey bacon. One of the best things about this is that it has opened up the possibilities of experimenting which different flavours in the future and maybe using different cuts of meat. It can easily become a nice hobby

I never thought I’d be able to make bacon at home. I had always wondered how it was made and how hard it was to do so and, it turns out, it’s pretty simple once you actually look into it.This Bacon making kit will give your meat that well-known smoky flavour but other flavours are available. Other than this kit, you’ll need pork belly and some patience. All the instructions are on the back of the pot and it is honestly really straight forward. Having gone through the whole process, we got ourselves some homemade (and delicious) bacon.I would consider making bacon at home again in the future as a bit of a foodie project. It probably works out cheaper to just buy it off the shops but there is something nice about making your own at home.
