This was a wonderful article and I learned a lot. One small nitpick though: > If it’s conventional bacon, you’re baking in carcinogenic nitrates. But even organic bacon is not good for an initial seasoning because it’s filled with salt. Both conventional and organic bacon contain carcinogenic nitrates - organic just contains nitrates from a natural source (celery). By definition, all bacon has nitrates.
