<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" Data-track="1" > network cheap "smoked bacon", how is it made? </h1>
Online 15, 20 yuan a pound of smoked bacon, have you ever bought?
Casually open a shopping website, directly search for "smoked bacon", the home page shows all the bacon of more than ten, twenty yuan a pound, and almost all marked with "native pork", "farmhouse homemade" and other words.
The cover of the bacon looks particularly attractive, and the ruddy, translucent and oily "smoked bacon" has entered thousands of households, and it is not known that there is an ulterior "secret" behind it...
This time, we specially visited a local boss who has been engaged in the bacon industry for many years to listen to the unspoken rules of the "smoky" industry.
Can these cheap "smoked bacon" on the internet really be eaten?
First of all, let's understand the real cost of making authentic bacon.
According to a teacher who specializes in making bacon, after purchasing a year-old native pork, after several traditional processes such as pickling, drying, and smoking, the price of each kilogram of bacon is about 50, 60 yuan a catty (along with the annual pork price fluctuations will be adjusted accordingly), and we found that almost all of them are 20 or 30 yuan a catty on a platform, so that rural homemade smoked bacon has no market at all, and is almost ruthlessly "slaughtered" by online merchants...
So why can these "smoked bacon" on the Internet be so cheap? Is it really a small profit but a quick sale? Or is there another secret?
Children who grew up in the countryside know that almost every household will smoke a variety of wax flavors before the Spring Festival every year, and if there is no sausage and bacon to eat on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, it feels that this Chinese New Year's Eve meal is incomplete.
However, the process of making bacon takes time, half a month, two or three months, and the longer the smoking time, the richer the flavor of the wax, so in addition to the cost of the ingredients themselves, the time cost is also quite high!
But how can such a large amount of "smoked bacon" on the Internet be produced quickly? The conscientious boss told us the truth...
Cheap "smoked bacon" on the Internet, some bad factories in order to quickly produce, sell and fully reduce their costs, basically will choose frozen pork or synthetic pork, in order to achieve the purpose of reducing pork costs.
Secondly, the so-called "smoked bacon" is actually the practice of "hanging sheep's head and selling dog meat", directly soaking the frozen meat in a potion containing salt components so that the pork can quickly absorb the salt and achieve the illusion of curing.
Again, generally our homemade bacon is marinated and hung up to dry naturally. The bad merchants are directly drying the pork with the machine, so that the taste of the rapid drying meat is completely incomparable, especially the lean meat part will be very chai!
Finally, here comes the key steps! The dried bacon is sent directly into the smoking room, and after a smoke smell is pulled out, the so-called "smoked bacon" is born!
A few days ago, a female colleague excitedly told us that she picked up a "xiangyin" on the Internet and bought 10 pounds of spicy sausages! As a result, I was directly shocked when I asked the price, and the sausage was only 20 yuan a catty!
According to the current pork 14 yuan a pound, 10 pounds of pork dried and 6, 7 pounds of appearance, can only say that the merchant is really very "conscience", even upside down dozens of pieces of charity?
In fact, we have also bought bacon on the Internet before, as soon as we open the package, it is a strong industrial smell, and we don't know whether these "smoked bacon" soaked in the potion are harmful to the body?
There is an old Saying in China, you get what you pay for! Rational consumption and learning to distinguish are also an art of life!
