You're welcome.
Now, a side note that may or may not matter. When I first made my own bacon, I learned a couple things about it. One, is that I had better results cooking it at just a tick lower heat. I also learned that it does not get really brown, like store bought bacon. I over cooked the crap out of my first batch, trying to "brown" it up. (It was done, well before I thought it "looked" done.)

I was also amazed, that it didn't pop and splatter, like store bought bacon. And maybe it was just my imagination, but I swear the grease from cooking it was way clearer/cleaner than that of store bought bacon. It made me wonder just what was in that stuff I had been eating. Hahaha

Oh.....and wait 'til you try your first BLT, made with your bacon. Mmmmmmm.

Very nice work there! Looks great and I'm sure it tastes great. Cowgirl and Thirdeye are my go-to's for all kinds of things, esp. bacon.

Just a tip for anyone who may, like me, burned up their brains as a youth - I'll write the days of the week that are supposed to be facing up on one side of the vac pac while curing, i.e. "mon, wed, fri" etc. so I don't forget whether or not I flipped it.

Great thread!
