markie_q Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I've 24hr smoked some bacon and put it back in the fridge vac packed. How many days should I leave it before slicing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Give it at least 3-4 days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 3-4 days as Steve says. Depending on how large your bacon slab is, only slice as much as you will eat in a week unless you intend freezing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Yes, I leave 4 days, then smoke it. I slice and freeze. But equally if i ate it more regularly I would keep in fridge and slice what i need when i need it. Good luck @markie_q, share photos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markie_q Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 It's been in four days today, so will try and slice it tonight. I'm planning on slicing and freezing. Although not ruling our slicing and eating it all tonight 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markie_q Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 The slicing did not go well 😁 Those slicers don't play nice. All fine though, could have come off a lot worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Wow! what happened? You were not trying to slice without using the meat gripper were you ??? I hope there was no permanent damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Ouch, that looks painful! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope there was no permanent damage. I was stupid! No lasting damage hopefully. Not an enjoyable three hours in a&e though, but doctors and nurses were amazing as always. The meat stuck to the blade cover when I pulled the carriage back, so I foolishly lifted it back and just caught my fingers. It all happened so quickly . I think that's what happened. I've been banned from using it again until I buy some gloves as I can't be trusted anymore 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Lesson learnt. No lasting damage hopefully. Manly scar and a story worth a few beers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My other half is still telling everyone how, despite the blood running down my arm, my bigger concern was asking her to make sure she wrapped the rest of the bacon up as soon as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit I always treat our slicer with the greatest of respect when I use it, now seeing what happened to you I may buy a glove. The good news is it'll get you out of washing up the dishes on chrimbo day matey. Ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my head I was imagining chain mail I have them and offer them to people on my BBQ courses but I do not use them myself. The only time I have had a problem with my slicer was when I was in a hurry cleaning it and took the blade off without using the safety cover. I sliced a big chunk off the fleshy tip of one of my fingers. It took a long time to heal and grow back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markie_q Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 I've just ordered them. I'm not a fan of wearing gloves, but desperate to slice the rest of the bacon 😁 I bet that must have hurt Wade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor72 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I’m not a fan of gloves either . However the likelihood of an accident is greater for us. I think I might invest in one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I got “Bit” by my slicer, bit like Wade. Finished slicing, removed blade, and put in washing bowl, carried on cleaning machine, thought just wash hands. Put hands into bowl , brought hands together or wash, but blade was , not flat in bowl, and managed to cut two fingers on each hand. Best part about, I knew in the back of my mind I was going to do it!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
