How do you cook your bacon?

[PatriotsGuy]

This is important

[Slick]

I don't eat it very much any more (I miss you bacon!) but when I do, I bake it.

I always seemed to over cook when frying in a pan. i like my bacon to be slightly crispy, with just a little bit of chew to it. Dark brown really crunchy bacon isn't my thing.

[slim]

I haven't made bacon in years, but I used to pan fry it.

I believe if I were to make some bacon today, I would bake it.

Pan fried. Has to be a cold pan. I modulate the temperature making sure it gets up to high for at least a small bit, but spend longer at the end on med-low.

If you are cooking a large amount of bacon it is definitely the way to go. You can't even make a good argument for another method if dealing with large quantities.

It's the superior way to make bacon and is the only method I will use.

[underrated29]

iVE NEVer even heard of baking bacon. I want to try it.

I do not make bacon often but when I do its in a pan on the stove. I will say the last bacon I made was candied bacon and that was baked in the oven, but I had to microwave the bacon initially so I am not sure that counts as a full on baking.

I used to pan fry exclusively until I tried baking about a year ago. No going back. I can't eat it as much as I'd like to now, but I will DEFINITELY bake when I do.
