That is a great idea, and might be the perfect thing for pineapple rinds. Where’d you get that press pitcher? Kinda smitten with that thing. Or, is it just a press plunger from a coffee unit on a pitcher?
Amazon. I initially bought it for loose leaf sun tea. It’s great for filtering out bits. Just be sure that you rinse it out very well and air dry it btwn uses so the cap stays super clean. You can’t disassemble the parts to the top.

I’ve read that they have no choice in the matter, with Canadian regs prescribing specific levels of added sodium nitrite or sodium nitrate if a meat product is to be labeled as a cured meat.
So while I quite agree that celery nitrates are nitrates, and celery-derived nitrites are nitrites, manufacturers of the celery-based cured meats would get in hot water for calling their product cured.
Edit to add - “uncured” is required by law in the US as well, so they’d get in trouble here, too, if they labeled it “cured”.
It seems several makers don’t want the confusion, either, and have petitioned the USDA (along with consumer protection groups) to add plant-based nitrates/nitrites to its approved list of curing agents, but I don’t think it has done so yet.
Glad I read the whole package. At first glance, I didn’t know that was ice cream in the middle. I thought "dayamn that’s a wholelotta glaze/frosting. " Phew!
I didn’t know all this. I was wondering why this uncured foolishness started popping up on bacon. Side pork, or pork belly would be uncured bacon me thinks. That said, one of my favorite pork seasonings is a local one called Pleasoning; makes “uncured” pork sing.
If you enjoy flavorful but mild dried garlic, this brand is deliciously fresh and enjoyable in so many recipes.
