Mike, I just caught your question. I'm in NE Oklahoma and have been retired 15 months. I preach a few revivals and our family owns and operates Bacon Acres Farm in Jay, Oklahoma where we raise Purebred Tamworth Pigs and Pork.

by the way, I have the VP 215 vacmaster, is your a 210 or 215? And what size bags did you use in your pic of your sliced bacon? Also, this may be overly technical, but share with us your 'trick' of getting all your slices nice and neat inside the Vac seal bag. Never can get mine that neat. Thanks.

I have the VP215 as well. The "Trick" I use is parchment paper. I get a box from Sysco that I use to cook and bake with. Very Cheap lasts a VERY long time, but a LOT of paper lol. I cut the full sheet size in half and then in half again (1/4 sheet pan size) and then trim the quarters by about 2 inches so they fit into the 10x13 Vacmaster 4 mil bag. It is VERY easy to arrange on the parchment and then carefully slide the arranged bacon on the parchment into the bag.

Daniel, I try to make a batch every year. We enjoy it mainly during the summer with home grown tomatoes in BLT’s. The bacon is far superior (and pricier, lol) to even the best grocery store bacon. One thing about this style of bacon is that it cooks SO much faster. The reason is commercial bacon is wet cured as opposed to this style of dry cure, so when cooking commercial bacon you have to cook the water out. Dry cured bacon does not shrink as much either.
