How do you cook bacon?

[kimblebee]

I use an electric frying pan. I can’t imagine cooking bacon in the microwave..seems like it would just be limp and still really fatty.

Microwave.
Its convenient, does not make a mess, the paper towels soak up the excess grease, and the bacon stays flat, cooks fully, and is crisp instead of floppy, and the ends of each piece melt in your mouth.

And now I want bacon and I can't have it because its Friday during Lent.

This thread just reminded me I need to go to Karns to get my bacon this weekend.

They're a meat market/grocery store, it's where I get all my meat unless there's an incredible sale elsewhere. They sell their bacon ends for $1.99/pound and they are SO good!

We do ours in the oven then zap it in the microwave to heat it up. Honey cooks about 4 packs at a time, he is on a sort of keto/caveman/all protein type diet.

I cook it in the oven. Now I'm craving bacon for lunch.

Oven at 400 on baking sheet covered in aluminum foil until done. Usually 12 to 15 minutes ish?

A few slices in the microwave.

Any larger quantities in the oven.

Always in the oven, on a rack with the rack in a sheet pan. cold oven, set to 425 and turn it on. Thick cut bacon takes about 20-25 minutes.

Isn't the rack a bear to clean afterwards? Or do you put aluminum foil over the rack?

Oven 400 for 17 minutes. We’ve switched to nonpork and the same works for turkey bacon as well.

I just threw it into the dish washer. I didn’t have a second rack so for the second pan I folded a piece of foil repeatedly making a fan and then pulled it apart to make a draining rack.

On the very rare occasion we cook bacon, we use our pellet smoker. No mess and no stinky bacon smell in the house.

Does the bacon get crispy for covering it up?

Oven on a half sheet tray. Makes a whole package.

Same. When it’s warm out I put the sheet pan on the grill - no heat from the oven and no bacon smell in the house.
