Wake n Bake, Nothing Better!

I like bacon but do not eat it often. Texture is the barrier.

The taste and smell of bacon are nice, however my pleasure center is derailed
at overcooked crunchy, tough, too much fat or undercooked chewy bacon.


This does look enticing!

That, my friends, is what is affectionately referred to as the BACON EXPLOSION. (We also like to call it the heart-attack log, or the time bacon went too far.) This bacon monstrosity is made with crispy bacon (of course), ground pork sausage, a bacon weave and barbecue sauce. Sometimes it even has cheddar. This is not a joke, guys. But a very real, very serious recipe that people have made and eaten for dinner.

I've made that,..it's good.

Haven’t made them yet, I’ll do that shortly.
I’ve got a dr appointment in 10 minutes. Gotta love televisits. Brb :eyesmoke:
Now I have all this rosin I was thinking about gummies.

I'm maintaining control as much as I am willing.

45 years ago I was given a priceless necklace with the provision I wear it to a funeral.

While bringing it out of storage I did find the remnants of my first Rosin press run.

Yeah I saw those. The hand clamp is basically what I did yesterday. And the other is nice but this is where I'm undecided. I can for the same amount of money build a 20 ton 4" x 7" plate press.

As you have additional uses the cost can be justified.

A pressure gauge would be beneficial although it is nearly cost prohibitive to buy one.

I'd think consistent temps are more desirable over pressure. I could be wrong here but if everything presses differently then there's no consistency batch to batch.

consistent temps are needed, true.

The gauge would help prevent blowouts.

It only takes a few blowouts to learn how much manual pressure is required.

I have not put the extra expense into a gauge. If I were to go into mass production then the gauge would be more important.
