Are You Looking To Buy Bacon? Read This Before you do...

When going to buy bacon, what do you look for? Sure, think juicy strips with nice white lines of fat are important but there is one more thing that is much more important.  When you look at the label, does it say USDA certified? It should. USDA certified means that your bacon has been treated for Trichinella. Trichinella is a parasitic worm that causes the infection trichinosis. Pork that has been labeled USDA certified is clear of all these parasites. Image via Wikipedia

Another thing to look at when buying bacon is the weight and what is in your bacon. When selecting making your selection, make s sure your buying bacon that has been smoked or dry rubbed with spices and herbs. This is important because some bacon is injected with fake smoke flavoring, or has been injected with other additives that are adding water weight. This water weight can make the bacon look full and delicious but when you cook it all of the extra added water will just cook off.  When all the water is gone, your left with just a few shriveled pieces of bacon.

Let us recap - So the next time you are at the grocery store or butcher shop, make sure you are only purchasing USDA certified meats due the treatment they receive.  Also make sure you ask your butcher about what goes in to the bacon. Make sure you aren't paying for bacon but only getting additives.  Hopefully after these tips, you'll never buy bacon the same again!

This Is How To Find and Store The Best Bacon...

If you have been looking for the best bacon you're in luck. In this article we are going to tell you how to find and store all the yummy bacon you could ever want.
 
Bacon Selectin' - What Makes good bacon?
When looking for bacon on important thing to pay attention to is the fat to meat ratio. Good bacon should have thin lines of colorful meat divided by rich white streaks of fat. This fat separating the meat will help give the bacon it's tender juicy flavor when cooked. Some people don't like as much fat, but generally, the fattier the bacon, the better it will be.  Added flavoring also has something to do with the final flavor of the bacon as well. I like to go with bacon that is rubbed with spices or has not been smoked. I personally prefer thick sliced peppercorn style bacon. When cooked, it's gets crispy but retains it's great flavors because of the thick slices and great fat content.  Before buying, always make sure you check the expiration date on your bacon - no one wants a fridge full of spoiled meat.

Bacon Storin'
One important thing to know about bacon is that due to the high fat content, freezing does not help extend the shelf life too far beyond the expiration date. This happens because the salt in bacon makes the fat spoil even while in the freezer. If you buy bacon in bulk, you can easily break it down in to smaller packages and wrap them in aluminum foil. When wrapping, make sure they are especially tight to prevent freezer burn.
If you buy bacon as a slab, you could make sure you wrap it very tightly and buy it as fresh as possible if you want a longer shelf life. When it's wrapped tight, you could easily keep it a few weeks in the refrigeratImage via Wikipediaor with no problems.
Now that you know how to find and store the best bacon you should never be baconless again.

The Best Club in the World - the Bacon Club!

You have heard of a book of the month club, a fruit of the month club, but what about the bacon club? For all us bacon lovers out there, there are clubs that will send you tons of delicious bacon every month. If you are someone who is intoxicated by the scent of bacon cooking in a skillet then listen up.

Quality Bacon Delivered to Your Door
Image via WikipediaBacon of the month clubs don't deliver the same old "plain Jane" bacon your find in the supermarkets. The difference here is most clubs deliver bacon that is not filled with brine and other flavorings like the stuff in the supermarkets. These clubs like to deliver bacon that is dry rubbed or naturally smoked - not filled with extra water weight. They know that all those extra fluids only cause the bacon to shrivel up after the water weight is cooked off.

These clubs also offer a lot of convenience to their members as well. With fresh, high quality bacon delivered to your door you will never buy bacon the same way again. Never again will you spend time checking expiration dates, ingredients and looking at the fat content. A club will hand pick all of your bacon for you every month so you don't have to.

Not For The Average Bacon Eater
Bacon clubs offer a wide satiety of packages and selections to satisfy even the most discerning connoisseur. However, if you like your bacon to shrivel up, then a bacon club might not be for you.

How to Buy Bacon

When you are heading to the store to buy bacon, it is extremely important to keep the following two things in mind:
Price
In these tough economic times we are always looking for a way to save money. One should not apply this rule to bacon though. If you head out and purchase the cheapest bacon out there you will likely get sick, as cheap bacon is mostly fat. Yes, believe it or not, it is possible to buy bacon which has more fat in it than normal! While you won't want to go out and purchase the most expensive bacon either, you do need to remember you will get what you pay for.
Color
When you are looking around at the different packages of bacon you will want to choose a package where you can see the bacon clearly. You want to be able to see the bacon, so that you can properly judge its color. Bacon is usually that nice pinky-red color, and if it deviates at all from that, you don't want to buy it.  If your package of bacon is mostly white, it clearly has more fat then meat, and won't be providing good value for your money. You will still be paying for it because it is part of the overall weight, but it is not the most nutritious. So, always be sure to check the color of the bacon before heading to the checkout.
If you keep the two things above in mind when you head out to buy bacon, you will be sure to make the right purchase. All that is left to do once you have gotten the bacon back home is to fry it up, and enjoy.

The Many Faces of the Bacon Club

 One of my favorite sandwiches in the world has got to be a turkey and bacon club. The mouth watering appeal of juicy turkey topped with crispy, salty, bacon is something to marvel at. It is an ingenious little sandwich all on its own, but add in these tasty alternatives for a bit of a change.
Add a Bit of Mayo
Mayo and a Bacon Club go together like no other combo out there. This is a true classic; mixing the crunchy bacon texture with the creaminess of the mayonnaise.  This is most definitely one of my all time favorites.
Avocado and Brie
Want to give your club a bit of a west coast twist? Try adding some fresh avocado and Brie cheese atop it. The creamy coolness of the avocado and the yummy bite of the Brie make this a tasty California flair.
Lettuce, Tomato, and Ranch
The old BLT! Add some fresh crispy lettuce and ripe juicy tomatoes, then, drizzle just a bit of ranch dressing across the top. Pile it high or just keep it short, either way this delicious all time favorite is sure to please.
Heat It Up
The great thing about turkey and bacon is they just about go with anything you put on them. If you like your sandwiches with a little kick, you can add some sliced jalapeño and Monterey Jack cheese. Top it all off with some sour cream and dill dressing to cool the heat just a bit.
No matter your taste, there is sure to be a combo here that will work for you. Give one a try or try them all. They will surely give your turkey and bacon club a yummy new twist.

The New BLA: “Help me! I Love Bacon!”

There are many people who are not even sure what the purpose of the group is, and who can blame them? A name like Bacon Lovers Anonymous can easily be misunderstood. It is not for the lovers of bacon to get together and share their love of bacon. No. It is for those in the world which are truly addicted to bacon, and need help to quit their habit.
No one is really sure as to who is behind the new BLA, and are not sure whether to take their announcements seriously. The group was founded by a Mr. Ba Kon from South Korea. Mr. Ba Kon created the BLA so that he could find other bacon lovers, who suffered from their love of bacon, much like he himself does.
“It's horrible,” Mr. Ba Kon explained, “My neighbors always complain about the smell of bacon in the morning, and I'm upset they don't share my love of bacon.”  He added that he realized he was burdening the neighborhood with his habit, and is actively seeking out others, so that they may help each other curb their desires for the tasty breakfast food.
Well, I love bacon, but I don't really see it as a big problem. But then again, I only eat bacon once in a blue moon, so it really isn't a problem for me. It's good to see that there is a group out there for you, if you feel that you cannot control your achin' for bacon.

I Love Bacon and There Isn’t Anything You Can Do About It

Bacon is delicious.  It almost feels like we could end this right there.  That one simple statement tells the story for millions of us.  But we cannot stop there, because there is more to it.  As a much as I love bacon I know it is not the most healthy thing for me to be eating.  It is hard to admit, but it is true.  In fact, I have actually cut back on my bacon consumption.  It was not easy, but it was something we all have to do sometimes, that or we end up paying the piper.  In this case, the piper would be the cardiologist.  So what can you do to still enjoy bacon and minimize the risks of poor health?

First, we should get something clear I am not going to tell you to eat turkey bacon, or low sodium bacon, or any of those other fake bacons.  What I am talking about is straight from the pig, high fat, bad for you bacon.  It is the only kind a self respecting bacon lover will eat.  So, here is how I enjoy my daily dose of bacon, and still keep my doctors at bay.  First, if you are going to eat the bacon that you love so much, you need to do it in moderation.  It is easy to sit down and eat the whole pound, but you have to stop doing that or you will be flat on your back clutching your chest before you turn 50.  Next, you need to cut out some of the other unhealthy foods in your diet.  Bacon takes away an awful lot of your cheating points.  Enjoying your bacon means making sacrifices everywhere else.  Finally get out and get some exercise.  Make sure to keep that ticker, tickin’.  You know what bacon grease looks like after it has been sitting in a pan for an hour; well that is what it is doing inside you too.  The only way to keep those arteries unclogged and still enjoy delicious bacon, is to get out there and get your heart rate up, and no your heart racing right before the bacon hits your lips does not count.

I love bacon, and I should not have to deprive myself of something that has been a staple of our diet, and our parent’s diet, and their parent’s diet just because a few doctors say it is not good for you.  Ok so there is more than a few.  The point is, bacon is just like everything else, if you eat it in moderation, it is not going to kill you.  Please enjoy your bacon, but do it responsibly.

Give the Gift of Bacon

Did you know that there are literally thousands of bacon products available for purchase?  It almost seems unreal.  Are there really that many people who love bacon enough to want bacon flavored mayonnaise?  The answer is a resounding yes, and truth be told, I already knew that when my mouth started watering at the thought of a BLT with bacon and bacon flavored mayo.  So, what exactly can you get that is bacon, but isn’t really bacon?

We cannot list everything here, because that would take days, and an awful lot of space.  Not to mention you would quit reading it at some point anyway.  But here are some of the more unique faux bacon products we found.

Did you know that you could get band-aids shaped and detailed like bacon?  Well, you can.  So the next time you cut yourself in the kitchen, you can wrap that wound up with a bacon aid.  Just stay away from the dog, or that cut might turn into a missing finger in a hurry.

Another product we found that was both highly amusing, and would be appreciated by a true bacon lover, was bacon-flavored mints.  I cannot vouch for the taste of these mints, but even if they were horrible, they would make a great gag gift for the bacon lover in your life.

If you have been looking for bacon-inspired gifts for the person in you life that cannot get enough bacon, visit us online and see the wide range of bacon gifts we have available.

Before You Freeze That Bacon Make Sure It’s Sealed Properly

Do you buy bacon in bulk?  Many people often wonder if freezing bacon will ruin its’ true flavor.  There is no simple answer to that question.  Many variables exist when discussing maintaining the quality of frozen bacon.  However, there are steps you can take to make sure that your frozen bacon tastes as delicious after you thaw it, as it would have if you cooked it the day you bought it.

One of the biggest reasons that any meat looses its quality when frozen is due to improper freezer packaging.  You likely have some experience with freezer burn, and know the havoc it can cause on everything in your freezer.  One way to avoid the same disaster to your bacon is to make sure that you have a properly sealed package.  If you bought your bacon in a sealed package at your local grocer, you can probably throw the bacon in the freezer as is.  However, if you bought straight from the butcher or deli counter, it will serve you well to take the time to make sure that your bacon is placed in a sealed and airtight storage container prior to freezing it.  Freezer burn is the most common reason for good bacon to be ruined.

If you buy bacon in bulk, it may be a good idea to invest in an airtight food sealer.  Giving your packages an airtight vacuum seal is a great way to ensure that your bacon is safe in the freezer for months to come.  If you are interested in learning more about the storage options available to you, visit us at online.  You can find an entire selection of bacon related kitchenware, including bacon-freezing solutions.

Bacon Themed T’s Make the Perfect Gift

Bacon gifts are great for any occasion.  Well, as long as you are giving them to someone that likes bacon.  There are so many possibilities to give to the bacon lover.  The gifts I choose to give my pork loving friends tend to be something that will last a littler longer.  I know that a couple of pounds of bacon would go over well, but as soon as it is gone, that is it.  No more bacon, no more present.

Instead, I like to give bacon gifts that allow someone to show off their love of bacon, and bacon themed t-shirts are one of the best ways to do that.  There are t-shirts that will fit any bacon lover’s style.  From “got bacon” to, “I love bacon” and even funny ones like “I’d be a vegetarian if bacon grew on trees.”  T-shirts really do offer an endless supply of bacon themed slogans and sayings.  Even if you are not able to find one that suites your bacon lover, you can always have one custom made with a saying of your choosing.  Getting your bacon lover a t-shirt is a great way to not only get a good laugh out of them, but also to show them that you really did put some thought into buying a gift that matches their personality.

If you have yet to find the perfect gift for the bacon lover in your life, visit us online.  We have a vast selection of bacon gifts and products so you can show your bacon aficionado that you really do know them as well as you think you do.

What to Look for When Buying Bacon

One time I was asked what was the best bacon to buy.  I really wasn’t sure how to answer.  It really depends on what you like.  The best is the one that you find the most delicious.  There are all kinds of bacon choices available to you.  So which one should you buy?

Personally, I find one of the most important things to look for when buying bacon is the fat to meat ratio.  This really comes down to personal preference, and there is not a sticker on the packaging that says for every ounce of meat, there is a half ounce of fat. I do not care for my bacon to be too lean, but at the same time, I am also not a huge fan of buying bacon that is mostly fat.  Let’s face it, bacon has a lot of fat and it can start to get expensive.  In order to get the most value and taste for your dollar, you want to select bacon that has a good amount of meat, but a solid strip of fat running along the side.  The fat actually helps cook the bacon, and keep it from sticking to your pans; it also gives it the addicting flavor that keeps us running back for more.

If you would like to learn more about all the available types of bacon, and which is the best bacon to buy, visit us at www.bacongifts.com to find more information.  We offer a wide selection of bacon gifts including recipe books, how-to books, kitchen utensils, and any other bacon related product you could image.  If you love bacon, you will be sure to find something that catches your eye.
