Totally addicted now: Bacon explosion, first try at ribs

The best fatty I made was from sausages I bought in tesco. I cut the casings off and used that meat

Did you experience any problems with shrinkage? American bacon tends to be dry cured and doesn't shrink much, while British bacon can shrink to half its size.

I do see American bacon (Oscar Mayer) on sale here at times. Not cheap, but it is very nice.

I've never had a problem with shrinkage on a fatty aris. Always stays nice and covered.

Thanks for the info. Maybe the low-and-slow cooking style helps keep the size and shape.

Did you use pork mince from the butcher?

I used a pack of Tesco Organic Pork Mince because it was handy.
