How to store bacon so that it won't spoil easily? Where is the best place to store bacon?

We all know that bacon is a common pickled food. It has various cooking methods and tastes good. It is a kind of food that goes well with rice and is very popular among people. Many people like to eat bacon, especially in winter. So how to preserve bacon so that it does not spoil easily? Let's take a closer look!

How to store bacon without spoiling

①Chimney hanging method

The general way farmers preserve bacon is to hang it next to the chimney. When cooking, the chimney is heated by the firewood and has a certain temperature, which can properly bake out the moisture in the bacon and keep it dry. The surface of the bacon is also blackened by the smoke, forming a good protective layer. Bacon preserved in this way generally does not deteriorate.

② Freezing method

If you don't have a stove at home and can't use the smoking method, and the bacon is just a gift from friends and relatives and you can't finish it all at once, the most common way to preserve it is to freeze it. Boil some warm water, scrub the black layer on the surface of the bacon clean, dry it, put it in a plastic bag, seal the bag, and store it in the freezer. It will not go bad if stored in this way. The only disadvantage is that it is a bit troublesome to thaw the bacon when you want to eat it.

③ Wax oil immersion method

The bacon oil soaking method is to clean all the uneaten bacon, cut it into small cubes, blanch the bacon with hot water to remove the salt on the bacon, then pour cold oil in a hot pan and fry the bacon until six layers are cooked. (Don't pour too much oil, the fat on the bacon will produce oil when fried.) Then prepare a clean ceramic jar and seal the bottle mouth. You can take out an appropriate portion when eating.

When is the best time to cook bacon?

It is usually pickled in the twelfth lunar month.

Meat is not easy to spoil in the cold winter, and there is no impact from flies and mosquitoes. At the same time, some ingredients obtained through years of practice are added when curing bacon, so the bacon made in this way has strong antiseptic ability and extended shelf life. In addition, due to various conditions in the past, bacon was only made in the twelfth lunar month. In addition, people have a deep nostalgia for traditional bacon, so bacon made in the winter solstice (twelfth lunar month) is more delicious.

Of course, it is normal to treat bacon as a commodity now. As long as manufacturers have sales, they will completely break through the seasonal restrictions of bacon making and artificially create an environment suitable for making bacon, so that bacon can be made all year round.

Can I eat more bacon?

You cannot eat too much bacon, because more salt is added during the pickling process. If too little salt is added, the bacon will not be fragrant and will have a short storage time.

Bacon is high in salt. Eating too much puts a heavy burden on the kidneys and hurts them. When eating bacon, it is best to soak it in cold water for two hours, then add more water to stew it, cut it into slices, mix it with ginger, onions, garlic and chili powder by hand, and put it in the Sichuan hot pot in the middle of the table, and then put delicious vegetables on it. Eating it in winter will not make it cold, but will taste delicious and effectively reduce the proportion of salt.

Bacon is relatively greasy, especially the kind that is pickled in the countryside. It is not raised from pigs with feed. If it gets on your hands or bowls, you need to use detergent and hot water to wash it clean. It is not like the kind sold in city supermarkets, which can be washed clean with just cold water. Given the oily nature of bacon, you should eat it in moderation according to your appetite. Eating too much can cause nausea and indigestion.

Bacon is delicious and can make you feel full. It is indeed a popular ingredient. It is recommended to eat it evenly. Eating too much of anything will be a burden to the body. It is beneficial to your health to adjust the combination of meals in your life according to your body's adaptation.
