Good Eats: How Bacon is Made

[Twice a week we're rounding up our favorite recipes and tips from our friends at Serious Eats and sharing them here. We also want to say Hi to the new readers who found us through Serious Eats and are stopping by for the first time... Welcome!]

Have you ever wondered how bacon is actually made? Wonder no more! Serious Eats has a video of the bacon-making process.

You can now see how your favorite breakfast (and lunch and dinner) meat is made. More from Serious Eats below...

• Snapshots from Asia: Watermelon Seed Cracker…'Just WACK' - A watermelon seed cracker! You have to go look at it...

• In Videos: Duck Herding in India - As they say, "Quack quack quack quack..."

• The Cartoon Kitchen: Braised Fennel - We love braised fennel! (We use it in our Fennel, Lemon, and Garlic Confit.) This new cartoon feature is charming, too.

Video should be called, "How bad bacon is made."

I guess it's interesting to see one part of the mass mechanization of the food industry.

West Coast-Hobbs

I don't believe in bad bacon, but it is true that some bacon is better than others. If you have a problem with the mass-produced stuff, you can always try making your own...
