The XL Homemade Curing Kit... XL Bacon

Our handmade, professional, artisan kit allows you to cure your own bacon at home. This kit is perfect for anyone that wants to learn a new skill, loves bacon or wants to try out a new culinary experience. The kit uses proper artisan methods of drawing the moisture out of meat by the process of osmosis. The kit allows you to cure up to 3kg of bacon and in six different cure flavours – sweet, smoky, old English, maple & chipotle, fennel & juniper, English mustard & pink peppercorn. Just add the pork! What's the inspiration behind the Curing Kit Range? Our range of Homemade Curing Kits were launched in 2014, with the original Bacon Curing Kit. The inspiration behind the range was that we wanted to create a kit that used a professional method of curing bacon & salmon but it was easy enough to allow everyone to give it a go. Why cure your own bacon? The home-curing trend has been a popular form of learning a new skill and gives you the opportunity to create proper dry-cured bacon or salmon at home. The process draws moisture out of the meat and fish which stops the watery texture you get with shop-bought bacon & salmon. The method used within this kit preserves and flavours through the combination of salts, nitrates, nitrites or sugar. How easy is it? The whole process for curing bacon takes 7 days where the bacon is resting in the fridge. The initial preparation only takes between 30-60 minutes. You will need 500g of pork belly for each curing mix. The instructions booklet makes the process remarkably simple and we have a dedicated FAQ’s page if you have any questions.
