  Howto & Style

Better clear your calendar if you want another 3 strips of bacon.

I just tried this.

Tastes like it was sizzled on the buns of Jesus himself (but then, what bacon doesn't?)

The problem is the cleaning. Best hire a butler if you're going to try it this way, as the cement left on the bottom of the pan doesn't like to move.

Personally I prefer oil and a low heat, you can get it tasting just as good with a little practice. ;)

BACON!!!!

[NobbyKNobbs]

I heard one quick way is to microwave bacon.

[MrHalo32009]

Too many dishes? How, all they do is out water on it. Do you wash a cup that just had water in it, and no one drank from it? Because that's fucking stupid

[lynndec22]

I bake bacon. line a sheet pan with foil, lay out the bacon, cook at 350º until done. No muss, no fuss, and cleanup's a breeze!

This is absurd. Start with a cold pan on medium high heat and turn it down when it sizzles. Turn it over when you see a foam around the edges. Next batch will tasted even better being cooked in the fat.

Starting bacon in a cold pan works for me

[MrMaddog0001]

Don't boil bacon. It gets rid of the smoky flavour and you end up with pancetta. Just put it in the oven on a low temperature.

[Cam Banks]

They always take extra steps that no one would ever do. Takes too much time and makes too many dishes.

[Keith Farnham]

That's odd ... every restaurant i have ever worked in BAKES their bacon . Perfect every time .

[anarchyonline211]

Why would any idiot use oil or water... it is just about low temps... the bacon will fry in its own fat perfectly...
