Manticle,

do you find the nitrite free bacon taste different? I understand that Nitrite will affect colour but does it affect taste?

I do not think i have ever tasted nitrite free bacon.


I have no issues with Nitrite being a health issue (the nitrite/nitrate cancer link is ********) and do not add it to my bacon for food safety. I do not see how it is different to keeping a piece of meat in the fridge for 5 - 7 days and then smoking it for 3 hours hot. I have marinated roasting meat for that long.


But what about the all important taste?
