  • Method and Apparatus for Producing Cooked Bacon using Starter Cultures
    Publication number: 20130236603
    Abstract: A method for preparing cooked particulate meat products using a starter culture, such as bacon bits or other bacon seasonings and toppings. The raw meat is ground to a first size in a first grinder, mixed with dry cure which includes a starter culture to form a raw meat mixture, cooled, and stored long enough to allow for partial fermentation. The raw meat mixture is then ground and diced to a second size in a first dicer, evenly spread onto a cooking belt, cooked in one or more continuous cooking ovens to form a cooked meat mixture and diced again to a third size in a second dicer.
