The time I tried to speed-cure my homemade bacon in a 200 degree oven instead of smoking it

That $20 slab of pork belly turned into a tough, salty brick after only 45 minutes, and it taught me that some shortcuts in charcuterie just arent worth taking, so has anyone else ruined a batch of bacon trying to cut corners on time?

Yeah I used to think you could cheat the process a little too. But after ruining a whole belly myself I totally get it now, there really isn't a good shortcut for real bacon.

A buddy of mine tried that exact oven trick and his bacon came out like beef jerky.
