Directions
-
pork, for a large part of a pork carcass can be preserved by curing.
-
However, this term is usually restricted to include salt pork, bacon, and ham.
-
As has already been learned, salt pork is obtained from the belly; bacon, from the middle
-
cut ; and ham, from the two hind legs this piece is seldom used alone for the table.
-
Occasionally, it is broiled to be served with some special food, such as fried apples, but for the most part it is used for larding; that is, slices of it are laid across the surface of meat and fish that are lacking in fat and that therefore
-
cook better and have a more agreeable flavor when fat in some
-
form is added.
-
Pork of this kind is usually bought by the pound and then sliced by the housewife as it is needed for cooking purposes.
-
regarded as bacon.
-
It is sometimes used for larding purposes, but as it contains more lean than salt pork, has a very pleasing flavor, and is the most easily digested fat known, it is much used for food.
-
A piece that contains the usual proportion of fat and lean is shown in Fig.
-
The strip of fat that occurs between the rind, or outer
-
coat , and the first
-
layer of lean is the firmest and the best for larding.
-
The fat that fries out of bacon is excellent for use in the cooking and seasoning of other foods, such as vegetables and meats.
-
When bacon is cooked for the table, its flavor will be improved if it is broiled rather than fried in its own fat.
-
The rind of bacon should, as a rule, be trimmed off, but it should never be wasted, for it may be used to
-
grease a pancake griddle or any pan in which food is to be cooked, provided the bacon flavor will not be objectionable.
-
In purchasing bacon, it is usually more economical to buy the whole side, or the entire middle
-
cut , but if smaller quantities are desired, any amount, either in one piece or in slices, may be bought.
-
The commercially
-
cut bacon, which is very thin and becomes very crisp in its preparation, may be bought with the rind retained or removed.
-
In both of these forms, it is often put up in jars or packed neatly in flat pasteboard boxes.
-
While such bacon is undoubtedly the most popular kind, it should be remembered that the more preparation that is put on such a food before it enters the home, the more expensive it becomes.
-
Very satisfactory results can be obtained from bacon bought in the piece if care is used in cutting it.
-
To secure very thin, even slices, a knife having a thin blade that is kept sharp and in good condition should
