Sure, there are aisles and aisles of bacon in the city’s many markets, but overcome by the lure of the cure, Shea Stewart tried two methods for making bacon at home.
Stewart's charge for this story was simple: Buy some pork belly and make bacon at home using two methods. The first technique was following a recipe for Classic Cured Bacon by Australian-born/New York state-based chef Christopher Rendell from the I Love Bacon! cookbook by Jayne Rockmill.
The second system was using The Original Baconkit, a do-it-yourself kit, Stewart writes.
