Thread: How do you cook your bacon?

Maybe there is a time and place for all different kinds of bacon.

Yes, everywhere and all the time.

Actually, I glossed over it before, but Davii has a very good point about smoked bacon.

Ignorance is bliss

I usually get bacon (thick cut/peppered) from our local butcher shop (Mike's Meats in Eagle River)). The hogs are raised in Alaska. Anyway, I pan fry in my heavy skillet on the burner of my outdoor grill. Wife doesn't want to smell up the house. Bacon's worth freezing your ass off to cook.

Precooked bacon?

That makes me sad.

Then I pour out the grease, and cook the scramble eggs in the same skillet. Good.

Do we have people boiling it or trying to cook it chemically in lime juice or something?

You bake it or you fry it. Most people have done both at some point in their life. A few of the most lazy or stoned will microwave it. You're welcome, poll.

There's a guy in SD that boils it, forms into patties and then crisps it on the flat top. Probably the best bacon cheese burger Ive ever had.

Preach

I think the whole "fries it on the skillet after" aspect is cheating, but I'll allow it.

Ah, you just reminded me of one of the best movies ever made:

Well done, NTL. Well done.
