Considering that you'd be hard-pressed to purchace fresh bacon for less than .10-.15/slice.....$110 really is not so bad.

Re: Yummo! Canned Bacon!! I'd get a few cans if it wasn't sold only by the case. I can't really afford to spend over $100 on bacon right now.

X3, the product looks really good, but I'm not ready to pluck down a c note plus, for a case. I bought a 12 can pack of the canned butter and a 6 pack of the canned Cheddar cheese. Thinking about investing in some of the Yoder canned meats too. They claim a 10 year shelf life on these.

Each can contains between 40 and 50 slices of pre-cooked (packed by weight, fat already drained for you) regular cut bacon. Each can is the equivalent of between 2-3/4 pound and 3-1/4 pounds of fresh, uncooked bacon, cured to our specifications with a light smoke process.

Home canning... After searching for canned bacon I need to ask can you home can your own. I really would be interested in the "old style" canned bacon, the kind that didn't have the fat removed. PORK FAT RULES !!!:tongue_ma:

Re: Yummo! Canned Bacon!! Thats interesting. In the current issuse of Backwoods Home someone had written in asking if they new of a place to get canned bacon as he had purchased it years ago and loved it but couldn't find it anymore. They could find no place to purchase it either. I hope he reads gim.

Well the bacon is a good deal and hard to find, it will last 10 years plus, you can find canned meat anywhere.....canned chunked chicken from costco is cheaper than Yoders.....even more so when you tack on $20.00 for shipping. However I do understand $109.00 + $20.00 for shipping might be alot to spend for some on bacon.....then again like I said it isn't a bad price for bacon, and remember everything tastes better with a little bacon.

Re: Yummo! Canned Bacon!! Canned some "survival" bacon a few years ago. It turned out well. I left the fat with it to use the healthy fat for cooking. Anyone that looks at the statistics can see that people that cooked with healthy lard and butter a 100 years ago lived better and longer lives than those that eat foods cooked in the junk oils pushed on us by the lying white coats paid by TPTB today.

Re: Yummo! Canned Bacon!! Yeah, if I weren't buried financially right now it would be cases of the new kind of cheese, more butter, and some of this bacon. Canning bacon full fat sounds even better as bacon fat really dresses up some bean varieties as olive oil dresses up others. Recipe hoot?

Three kinds of salt the last being Chile saltpeter (sodium nitrite), it's a mineral ,one or more of these is found in most all canned meat including chicken and soups and many other non canned items.... nobody said canned food was a healthy food, I'm not interested in a steady diet of this stuff although it's not much different from the bacon people buy in the super market. Look at the people who survive on spam, like the haiwians....even worse is how they were told coconut oil was bad for them. Your point is well taken.....I'm jus sayin .

I heat the bacon in a roasting pan, in the oven at 200 degrees until it’s hot all the way through. Then I pack it into hot jars to within 1/2″ of the top. Bacon, as with all meat, is processed for 75 minutes for pints and 90 minutes at quarts, at 10 pounds pressure.(Check your canning manual if you live at an altitude above 1,000 feet and must adjust your pressure to suit your altitude.) Bacon is canned without adding liquid. Important note: As far as I know, there isn’t an approved method of canning bacon, but this has worked well for me.

Re: Yummo! Canned Bacon!! Ok a case of bacon arrived yesterday. General observations... 1) Can is camoflage green. What kind of enemy action we expecting? 2) 9 ounces in a can. Can feels light. 3) Open up a can. That's a LOT of bacon. 4) Its all pre-cooked. Daring man that I am, I eat a piece. A bit salty? 5) Eat another. Not salty, maybe just first piece. So its a big greasy mess of bacon wrapped in butcheer paper and more grease (plus some grease). If you are camping, you need a plastic container, its hard to get back in the can after taking it out. After shipping its about $10 a can. There is a lot of bacon in a can, so $10 is probably just fine.

Re: Yummo! Canned Bacon!! I'm bumping this thread because it sounds so good. For those who are interested, MREDepot sells individual cans of Yoder's Canned Bacon as a sample for $11.95. My can (along with some other stuff) arrived yesterday. I haven't opened the can yet, so I can't make a report. But I felt like I had to try the product before ordering a whole case :wink: In that vein, we're sampling Grandma Werling's Shredded Seasoned Pork with BBQ Sauce (also from MREDepot) for dinner this evening. That sounds delicious to me and if it's as tasty as is sounds, there will be a full case arriving on my doorstep soon. A question for those who've tried this bacon product. Are you out there, nub? Since there's nothing vaguely resembling an O2 packet in the can and since there must be at least some air in the can with the bacon and paper, how does the bacon fat not go rancid? Is the bacon-paper rolled so tightly that there is in reality very little air in the can?

Merlin | 09-10-2009 05:33 PM
Re: Yummo! Canned Bacon!! Update from the canned meat front. We tried Grandma Werling's Shredded Seasoned Pork with BBQ Sauce served on hamburger buns this afternoon. To my taste, there was too much sauce and not enough shredded pork. The BBQ sauce itself was fairly mild (of the attempting to please everybody at the same time variety.) I'm not ready for a whole case at this time. I'd rather try the Yoder's canned pork and look into the possibility of making my own shredded BBQ pork. I hope no one thinks I've hijacked the thread by talking about BBQ pork when the thread topic was bacon; but no one else has contributed to this thread in well more than a year. One of the miracles of the canned bacon product is that, to my knowledge, Yoder's has no competition for it. That was also one of the appeals of Grandma Werling's canned BBQ pork -- you just don't find it on the shelves of typical grocery stores. Does anyone else have experiences they'd like to share about canned meats? Other than Spam, that is. :biggrin:

Re: Yummo! Canned Bacon!! I used small half pint jelly jars and thick hand sliced "slab" bacon. Packed it cold to within a half inch of the top of the jar, whiped everything clean, and processed at 10psi for 75 minutes. Thought I would use it up to the cabin if not in a SHTF situation; useing a complete jar at a time . It turned out the same as the canned Polish bacon that my mother used to get sometimes when I was a kid 50 years ago. The butcher shop down in the ghetto sometimes has their cheek meat slabs on sale for 99 cents a pound. Should do another cooker full. Tasty when the stores are closed.

Re: Yummo! Canned Bacon!! Okay, I tried Yoder's canned bacon. It's pretty good. It's extremely greasy, limp rather than crisp, and tastes like normal bacon. (If the sight of thick grease and grease-saturated paper makes you queasy, go nibble on some granola 'cause this bacon's not for you.) It would be good in sandwiches. I tried heating it up in a skillet to see if I could crisp it up some, and it didn't really crisp up much. The cans have A LOT of bacon in them. If you didn't have refrigeration, you'd probably have to share the can with an army of friends and stray dogs if you wanted to avoid wasting it, and you'd still have enough left to block your coronary artery (but you'd die with a smile on your face because, after all, it is bacon). The greasy paper would make excellent tinder for you camp fire. Btw, the company says the canned bacon has a two-year shelf life. Vendors say 10 years, and there are a lot of stories around about people who have eaten canned bacon 10+ years after they bought it and lived to tell the tale.

I think you've answered my question about why the air spaces don't cause the fat to go rancid. It's because there aren't any air spaces -- they've been filled with grease, right? As for the shelflife, the manufacturers are always conservative and the vendors are always optimistic. And the fact that people lived to tell the tale??? Exactly how positive is that? How long do you think this stuff will actually keep, Maddie? It's way to expensive to let it sit and go bad on the shelf.

Re: Yummo! Canned Bacon!! OK, so I opened my only can this evening. Tip: open both ends of the can and press the contents out, just as you would your refrigerated corned beef hash. When I put a couple of slices between paper towels and nuked them (as I always do bacon), they turned out crisp and tasty as anyone could want. I understand why nub waxes poetic. This is an excellent product. If anyone on the board could give me a good reason to believe that it will last 10+ years, I'd order a case in a heart beat.

Maddie | 09-11-2009 10:34 PM
Re: Yummo! Canned Bacon!! Definitely not much airspace in the can. The paper and bacon is packed in there very tightly. I feel certain they'd last four or five years. Ten years wouldn't surprise me too much, though I don't find the idea of betting on a can of meat and grease still being palatable after a decade appealing. At least with that much fat in the can, you'd know pretty quickly if you opened a rancid one! I wonder why I didn't think to nuke the bacon in the microwave. It seems the obvious thing to do. I have more cans. I'll have to give it a try. My husband (the almost vegetarian) was rather shocked that I'd spent money on cans of bacon, but I consider it a worthwhile expenditure, and my dogs fully agree with me. No one should have to go through an apocalypse without bacon! Thanks for the review on the BBQ pork. I've been eyeing those canned meats, but the only ones I've tried were ground beef and chicken, and I prefer FD to both of them.

Well, I might have to reprise that one. I'm one of the folks around here who's guilty of PUI (posting under the influence.) After sober reflection, I still think the BBQ flavor is mild (but easily correctable) and I still wish that there was more bulk of pork in the can. Having said that, who else is selling pulled pork in a can with BBQ sauce? I can't find it anywhere on the grocery store shelf. So, I'm thinking that I shouldn't condemn an acceptable product when no one else is competing. If pulled pork BBQ is important to you, give the Grandma Werling's product consideration. And, you can buy a samplers portion from MREDepot. It is tasty. And in a SHTF situation, you'd probably be happy to find it on your shelf -- comfort food and all that. Like everyone here on the forum, I have limited dollars to spend on prepping and think I'm going to try some more of my "samples" before I make any bulk purchases. I'll keep you folks posted. You say that you prefer freeze dried ground beef and chicken to anything canned? I'm going to open the canned sausage next, I think.

That taste test is BS... We like the Yoder's with our fresh garden tomatoes for BLT' sandwiches. About 10-15 seconds in the microwave and it is ready to go... Of course bacon is greasy you morons. That review really pisses me off -- reminds me of a bunch of know-it-all liberals...

Re: Yummo! Canned Bacon!! AV Club... what's that? Audio Visual? So what would that group of kids even know about good food. I don't trust the opinion of anyone who doesn't know how to open a can. And I definitely don't value the opinion of anyone who is surprised that bacon is greasy.

I prefer the FD by a narrow margin, but I keep both. If I ever need it, I'm sure I'll be grateful for the variety. I just think the flavor of the FD is a little closer to that of non-storage food. The canned hamburger tastes a little like school-lunch hamburger meat to me, and canned chicken has a slightly off flavor that let's me know it's canned. FD, of course, tastes a little bland, as one would expect of meat with all the fat and "juices" removed. Once you put them in most recipes, though, you can't really taste the difference. Let us know what you think of the sausage. Do you mean the FD sausage crumbles? I haven't opened a can of that yet. I'm curious about the FD meatballs and the canned ham, too, but I can't bring myself to open a can of those until I can afford enough to play around with a few cans. The prepper part of my brain is always at odds with the other part of my brain. Blue hemisphere: "You spent $60 on carrots this month??!! Are you insane??" Red hemisphere: "I spent $250 on car insurance? You want to argue about that? Maybe if we're lucky, you'll never have cause to thank me..." Blue hemisphere: ":confused_ma: :no_ma:" Red hemisphere":tongue_ma::moon:" And so on...:111: At least both parts of my brain agree on bacon...

I've tried both FD and canned chicken, it's a toss-up to me, both taste a bit "off" in chicken salad sandwiches. I'll admit that I'm not really big on any form of chicken. I do think the FD ground beef is an excellent product! On the canned bacon, I have doubts about its relative value and shelf life, but it would make a nice side dish for powdered scrambled eggs!

I have no first hand experience with FD meat at all -- only canned wet packed and TVP, which isn't really meat. I agree with your assessment of canned hamburger, based on my own home-canned product. If I couldn't hide it in chili or spaghetti sauce or sloppy joes, it wouldn't be good for much. The sausage I'll be opening is Yoder's, which is probably going to be a lot like canned hamburger. I was pleasantly surprised by the Yoder's canned bacon though; it's better than it has any right to be considering all it's been through, LOL. You'll have to wait a bit on the sausage report though. I have a lot of bacon to eat and there's a whole pound of Bob Evan's Sausage defrosted in the meat keeper.

I have the same concern about the shelf life of canned bacon. As to the relative value of canned bacon, doesn't fresh bacon have the same problem? Given its nutritional characteristics, it's my impression that ordinary bacon is expensive and doesn't provide much other than sensory pleasure, not that there's anything wrong with that as Seinfeld would say. Edit> MRE Depot claims that between 2.75 and 3.25 pounds of raw bacon go into each can. That's an average of 3.00 pounds per can. With the YODERBACON discount code, that brings the cost of a case of this bacon down to $2.83 a pound before shipping. Not bad really. And I just read a website claiming to have opened a 20 year-old can of Celebrity canned bacon that was still good. Lots of possibilities here folks.

Re: Yummo! Canned Bacon!! I opened the can of Yoder's Sausage. Two problems that I can see: 1) While you can form the product into sausage patties, they don't hold together since they've been cooked already. You'll never turn them over successfully or even get them to the plate in one piece. 2) We're used to sage seasoned sausage in our house ala Jimmy Dean or Bob Evans. I've tried adding my own sage and it's just not the same. From the can label, Ingredients: Pork, Salt, Sugar, Black Pepper, Red Pepper, Nutmeg and Ginger. While I would eat Yoder's Sausage and even like it, my other half turns his nose up. As canned meat goes, the Yoder's Sausage is fatty (sausage fatty? surprise, surprise.) Of 160 calories per 2-ounce serving, 103 are from fat. Is this a good thing or bad? In a SHTF scenario, a source of fat and calories might be welcome. But you'd probably want to limit your daily consumption of sausage during normal times. That could be a problem when you open a 28 oz can unless you're prepared to freeze some. I'm conflicted about whether to buy more. It would help if Yoder's Sausage had met with universal approval at the breakfast table. A lack of universal appeal is a problem, however, with lots of survival preps. I can see it being useful in lots of bean soup recipes.

One thought about the canned stuff is it could also be used to flavor beans and other dishes in a shtf type of situation. Beans are not beans without bacon,,,IMHO... Also kind of like bacon with my cabbage.. Just a thought... :wink:

Re: Yummo! Canned Bacon!! The only problem is, it's that icky streaky bacon instead of that lovely back bacon.
