Default Bacon & Nitrates

Is soaking bacon for a few hours done in the fridge or out on the counter ?
(thinking bacteria here) I dunno, maybe the nitrates prohibit bacteria
growth......

OT: Uh.....nitrates, got this problem in my fish tank, lol.....do you know
it's in your tap water also? In mine, the tap reads 10-15 parts per million.
When you think about it, kinda gross, Ammonia ( urine)
breaks down to nitrites and nitrites break down to nitrates and that's
what's in YOUR BACON, ewwwww

This is an excellent question. As I had said at the outset, I recalled
originally reading about the soaking suggestion on the NG a while back.
It would seem that to answer this question, we would need to determine
if nitrates are water soluable.

..

Nitrates are water soluble (I have had four years of chemistry-- this
one is a no-brainer).


Thanks, Beowolf!
