A work colleague pointed me to this:

Matty Sallin and friends over at mathlete.com have created the ultimate in alarm clocks.

We hacked the clock so that the signal is re-routed by a microchip that in responds by sending a signal to a relay that throws the switch to power two halogen lamps that slow-cook the bacon in about 10 minutes.

Liquid Smoke

Every time I hear of this product, it just makes me shudder. But at the same time, inquisitive. A recipe I used a couple of months back called for Smoked Paprika powder and it added a great taste. Maybe this stuff really does have some merit — it’s just the name that makes me squirm.

So how does this fit into All the Bacon, All the Time? Well, if you watched the “How it’s Made” video from a couple of days back, they use this bizarre product to make bacon. Surely most bacon really is smoked? Surely? Please?

The product show to the left is from an Australian company who assure me that this product is common in the USA and Europe. But then I looked closer at the photo .. it’s in an aerosol! Someone please explain why you’d want liquid smoke .. in an aerosol? Is this some kind of blokey air-freshner? Mmmmm bacon.
