Chaos beef bacon turned out great. Several people said they would never cook bacon like this because cleaning the pan would be a real pain.
Watch till the end and you’ll see how easily it cleans up after a 15 minute soak, with just one hand.
@lennartprimal Raw meat itself is fine, but how do we know if the environment where the slaughter took place was clean? Or if the hand that cut the meat was clean? Was the vehicle that brought it from the slaughterhouse to the butcher clean? Etc. Isn't this dangerous?
If you are new to eating raw meat, there is two dishes that you should try:
Steak Tartare & Carpaccio
Those are easy dishes that taste extremely good and can help you to get used to the taste and texture of raw meat.
@ozlatt It’s teetering the line for sure. You don’t want to ‘cook’ it per se but dehydrate it brittle dry. The way I see it, the ancients did it over fire often which I imagine got above 75C.
What I can tell you is fatty cuts don’t dry well.
@ozlatt Yes! Below is a video on how to but here’s a summary:
-buy lean raw meat
-cut it very very thin (or buy thin cut lean meat)
-dehydrate at 165F for 15Hr (my standard)
-grind it a food processor
-render tallow
-mix them together
-put in freezer for it to solidify
Tin lining is safe because it's made from pure, non-toxic elemental tin that acts as an inert barrier, preventing reactive copper from leaching into food, and it's recognized as safe by health authorities for typical use, passing through the body harmlessly if ingested in small amounts. Modern food-grade tinplate and tin linings are non-reactive and provide a smooth, non-stick surface, similar to stainless steel but offering excellent conductivity for even heating, though they require gentle care (low heat, non-metal utensils) as tin is soft.
The Heritage cookware is built to last a lifetime
Our copper cookware isn't disposable. It darkens, marks and patinas with use
With care, our pans can last a lifetime and only get better with age!

@SamaHoole So why weren't they smart? Why didn't they build a civilization? Why were they and are they a zero in terms of technology!? So this diet does everything except make you smart!?
East Africa, 1800s. British explorers encounter the Maasai. Expect primitive savages. Find physical specimens that make European soldiers look malnourished.
Average Maasai warrior: 6'2", lean, cardiovascular system that confused doctors, bone density 30% higher than Europeans.
The diet: Cow's blood mixed with milk. Daily. Sometimes 2 liters.
The British are horrified. "Drinking blood is barbaric."
The Maasai are confused. "You eat the entire animal when you kill it. We just take blood and let it live. Who's wasteful?"
Fresh blood collection: Small incision in cow's jugular. Collect blood. Seal wound. Cow continues grazing. Same cow provides blood for years.
One cow: 1-2 liters blood every 4-6 weeks without harm. Sustainable protein and iron source.
Blood composition:
- 17g protein per 100ml
- Highest bioavailable iron source on Earth (heme iron)
- Complete amino acids
- Vitamin B12
- Zero waste
Maasai warriors would run 20 miles to raid cattle from opposing tribes. Fight. Run 20 miles home. Repeat.
Their cardiovascular health baffled Western medicine. Zero heart disease in population eating blood, milk, and meat exclusively.
1960s: Western doctors study Maasai expecting clogged arteries from high-fat, high-cholesterol diet.
Result: Cleanest cardiovascular systems ever recorded.
Study published. Then ignored because it contradicted the fat hypothesis.
Today: We're told red meat causes heart disease.
The Maasai: 6'2", drinking blood, zero heart disease.
Europeans: 5'8", eating oatmeal, heart disease by 50.
Somebody got the diet wrong. It wasn't the Maasai.
Breakfast is two sausages, two clementines, a piece of morbier which is a raw cow milk cheese (most are), omelette of 3 eggs and a ginger and dandelion root tea on the side with honey
@ozlatt 2 parts beef tendon (collagen) to one part beef cubes (for a crockpot). Put just enough water to cover it all
Then I added a bunch of fat
Then let it all solidify (turn heat off)
