Bacon wrapping
Saturday has come, so time to slice and wrap the bacon. I started by dividing the bellies into manageable pieces, and removing the skin.
Some was sliced, on a variety of settings
While some was vaccuum packed whole, either for later slicing, or chunking into lardons
The vaccuum sealer was a huge success - makes everything much easier to label and store
The bacon should last for one month in the fridge, or at least 3 in the freezer

have you thought of vacum packing your hand?
all looks great do you think you should have done so much?
do you think ian mckellan would like this?
is this bacon 'going to change your life?'
vacuum packing looks fun - how does the machine work exactly?
You seal one end of the bag, put the food in, then place the bag in the machine. It sucks the air out, then heat seals the plastic.
is this an expensive hobby?
The bacon itself is a definite saving - much much cheaper than buying even cheap bacon from the supermarket, and much nicer and free range too!
The slicer was an expense, but second hand from eBay so not really that pricey, and definitely sellable on.
Vacuum packer surprisingly cheap - about £25, and useful for lots of things.
Where did you purchase the vaccum packer from?
eBay!
