since my xmas turkey breast is going to be wrapped in bacon i thought to post this.

Start by laying out 9 pieces of bacon

Turn up pieces 2,4,6,8 and lay a slice across
Now fold 2,4,6,8 down and now do the same with 1,3,5,7,9
Repeat until done.

now repeat on the other side until done.

Nice!

Also makes a great wrap for meatloaf, chicken, pork loin, and have even done a salmon fillet(whole side with a lil mustard, brown sugar, and finished w sea salt).

I would also like to add, "THIS THREAD BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FINE MAKERS OF LIPITOR"

Very nice! I make mine by starting from the edge but otherwise it's just the same.

That's quite an innovative way of meat wrapping you've got. I'm guessing it must work pretty well? I've never tried this method of weaving the bacon. Will do now

I usually ignore posts that have been randomly bumped from long ago, but this one is pretty good.

Oh, Quirky, really??? I love it when posts get bumped up!

So many good posts here - I often miss them, the first time around, and some of the really great ones bear repeating! :thumb:

You can tell Bam is back! I haven't seen so many meat-related posts on the same page in months! :smile:

Welcome home, Jeff!

I didn't weave the bacon but I did cover a pork loin with it. It was the most moist and tender one I've ever made.

What a clever idea. I never thought of doing it. You wouldn't have to worry about the bacon sliding off while cooking. Anything well almost anything goes good with bacon.

I think eventually I'm gonna try this but using transglutaminase instead of weaving it.

What do you mean, Rob?

Does that have anything to do with sous vide??

I've done the bacon weave a few times. It's really quite easy. I do mine on the diagonal....

TG (eg Activa RM) creates a covalent bond between proteins, essentially "gluing" meat together. Some of the worlds' best chefs are using it. I saw a guy make a solid log of bacon once! Basically you glue it to itself.

Great job!

Haven't seen Bams in a while.

These Bacon Turtle Cheeseburgers made me smile.
