Impressively, the plant processed approximately 1,000 pigs weekly.<\/p><p>He had big aspirations to export bacon\/pork throughout the world, but couldn\u2019t without it spoiling. By slicing the meat into thin strips and soaking it in brine, he found a way to preserve it for long journeys, thus creating rashers.

Whether served in a traditional Irish\/English breakfast or a crispy bacon sandwich, rashers hold a special place in the hearts of Irish people. Rashers offer a distinctive flavour and are available in many types from streaky to dry and wet cured. Authentic Irish\/British rashers can be hard to find overseas whether you\u2019re based in France, Germany, or any other European country. In this guide to Irish rashers, we will delve into the history, cooking techniques, and frequently asked questions often asked by our customers here at Bacon by the Box. What is a rasher? First, let&#8217;s start with what a rasher actually is. A bacon rasher is a thin slice of bacon, typically cut from a larger piece of cured bacon. The term &#8220;rasher&#8221; is commonly used in the UK and Ireland to refer to these slices of bacon. The History of the Bacon Rasher How did Henry Denny create the first bacon rasher? The rasher has a fascinating history rooted in County Waterford, Ireland, where our operations proudly reside. In the 19th century, Henry Denny, a visionary butcher from Waterford, overhauled the way bacon was prepared and preserved through a vision to transport it overseas. Denny perfected bacon-curing techniques, transforming their facility into Europe&#8217;s largest bacon curing plant at one point. Impressively, the plant processed approximately 1,000 pigs weekly. He had big aspirations to export bacon\/pork throughout the world, but couldn\u2019t without it spoiling. By slicing the meat into thin strips and soaking it in brine, he found a way to preserve it for long journeys, thus creating rashers. It was a great breakthrough at the time.&nbsp; Types of Irish Bacon Rashers Streaky Bacon vs Back Bacon Irish bacon rashers come in two main types: back rashers and streaky rashers. Back rashers are cut from the loin, making them leaner and meatier, while streaky rashers are cut from the belly and have more fat, offering a crispier texture when cooked. Both types are delicious, but back rashers are particularly prized for their great taste and texture. Curing Methods for Rashers: Dry Cure Rashers The dry cure method involves rubbing the bacon with a traditional dry cure mix often made of salt and sugar, then letting it cure over several days. Dry-cured bacon has a robust flavour and firmer texture, as the moisture is drawn out during the curing process. Mild Cure Rashers Mild-cured bacon is less intense in flavour than dry-cured bacon. It is typically cured with a milder mix of ingredients and for a shorter period, resulting in a subtler taste that still retains the essence of traditional Irish bacon. Wet Cure Rashers Also known as brine curing, this method involves soaking the bacon in a solution of dry cure mix often &#8211; salt, water, and sometimes spices. Wet-cured bacon tends to be juicier and slightly less salty than dry-cured varieties, making it a popular choice for those who prefer a milder taste. Maple Cure Rashers Maple Cure utilised a process of curing the bacon with maple syrup, which imparts a sweet, rich flavour that complements the savoury taste of the bacon. This again, is a very popular choice amongst British and Irish consumers. Oak Cure Rashers Oak cured bacon follows the same curing process as dry curing. However, after curing the bacon is then smoked over oak wood chips or logs. The oak smoke imparts a distinctive and robust smoky flavour to the bacon, enhancing its taste profile. Oak cured bacon is loved for its rich, smoky aroma and meaty texture, appealing to those who appreciate artisanal and smoked bacon products. Smoked vs. Unsmoked Smoked bacon rashers are exposed to smoke from burning wood chips, such as oak or hickory, imparting a distinctive, smoky flavour. This method not only enhances the taste but also helps to preserve the bacon. Unsmoked rashers offer a pure, natural taste, free from smoky undertones, allowing the intrinsic flavours of the bacon to shine through. While some enjoy them as a standalone meal, many prefer using them to enhance the flavour of various dishes. What is the best way to cook rashers? When it comes to cooking rashers (bacon), it\u2019s all about what you prefer. Methods include frying, air-frying, oven-cooking, or grilling, as explained below. Frying Rashers Frying is the most popular method for cooking rashers. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add you Clonakilty or Lisduggan Farm rashers. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side (depending on thickness) until they are golden brown and crispy. Bacon by the Box cooking tip: Try cooking them slowly over low heat with a bit of Irish butter. Oven-Baking Rashers Oven-baking is a great way to cook bacon rashers if you want to prepare a larger batch. Preheat your oven to 200\u00b0C (400\u00b0F).
