sorry po i don’t have a complete list of the kitchen materials needed in this kind of business. In terms of common name naman pwede po muna sila magsearch sa mga big supermarket usually meron sila dun . If they want further knowledge about meat processing they can try to contact spices and foodmix house, under lourdes santor rivera, guru of meat processing in the Philippines…

i make my tucino so simple i just use meat, salt, sugar, msg, and red coloring . mix salt, brown sugar, msg red coloring 0ptional. coat meat with the mixture put it in a plastic bag. over night cook it next morning. tell me how does it taste. you can also add garlic powder. or anis seed. in the curing mix. i don’t use anisado wine and posphate. just put it i n the ref. or in the freezer . you can also use chicken tight just remove the bone.
try this one to add brown or white sugar sa bacon coat bacon strip one by one put it in a plastic bag over nigth cook it in the morning.
i hope your family will like it.
