Pan?
Oven?


I just recently started using the oven method. Tons better and easier. Just put it on a cookie sheet and stick it in the oven at 425 for about 10min, no turning it every so often or grease splashes.

1) Microwave with a bunch of paper towels if I'm just cooking a couple slices - 45 secs per slice usually gets it done.

2) Oven if I'm preparing more than about 8 slices.

3) Pan frying if I absolutely MUST cook it that way. However, if I'm cooking a bunch of chopped bacon for like a huge salad or a giant dish of potatoes au gratin or something, I prefer to slice it down raw and then cook the little slices in a pan - that's easiest for that application imo.

Pan. Never tried it in the oven, but mine takes way too long to preheat for me to want to do it that way.

I have some like 20 year old microwave dish that was handed down to me. It lets all the fat collect away from the bacon. I also put a plate on top of the bacon to help hold it flat. Junk is all super flat and crispy..

I don't make bacon. But when I do, I cut it up and toss it in a pan along with some potaters, sausage and egg.

I actually don't know how to cook at all, all I know how to do is toss stuff in a pan and fry it up

I always cook bacon in the oven unless I'm doing the little pieces, same as you.

My oven method- big sheet of tin-foil, curled up at the edges with a cookie sheet underneath. Cook bacon, remove slices, and then once the foil is cool enough to handle, fold it so you can just pour the bacon grease into a jar. No mess, no dishes to clean up, no grease splatters, it's really the perfect way to make bacon imo.

Ours finally melted enough to not use it anymore. Microwave safe, my ass. Well it did last for some time. But now the paper towels on paper plate works the best.

Exactly how I do it. Use a mason jar and then it seals for the fridge.

edit - I cook mine at 350 for about 18 minutes - turning it over halfway. I'm one of the crispy bacon lovers, if you want the limp stuff reduce your time. Just keep an eye on it.

That is similar to how I make my bacon.

I fry the bacon, saving the grease between sets and break up about half the 1 lb package of bacon into my scrambled eggs. I add some of the bacon grease back to the pan and cook the eggs/bacon mix, then melt cheese over the top of the mass.

I'm honestly surprised at how few I run in to that ever think to cook scrambled eggs this way.

Yeah, I don't like to have to portion out the grease, so I get bacon that doesn't have much fat. Just enough that the eggs don't stick to the pan. It's wonderful love

That is similar to how I make my bacon.

I fry the bacon, saving the grease between sets and break up about half the 1 lb package of bacon into my scrambled eggs. I add some of the bacon grease back to the pan and cook the eggs/bacon mix, then melt cheese over the top of the mass.

I'm honestly surprised at how few I run in to that ever think to cook scrambled eggs this way.



yup

Not tried the oven yet, but I like thick slices cooked very crispy. Some call it burned.


QFT, there must not be any fat left on the bacon.

2) Oven if I'm preparing more than about 8 slices.

3) Pan frying if I absolutely MUST cook it that way. However, if I'm cooking a bunch of chopped bacon for like a huge salad or a giant dish of potatoes au gratin or something, I prefer to slice it down raw and then cook the little slices in a pan - that's easiest for that application imo.


I always cook bacon in the oven unless I'm doing the little pieces, same as you.

My oven method- big sheet of tin-foil, curled up at the edges with a cookie sheet underneath. Cook bacon, remove slices, and then once the foil is cool enough to handle, fold it so you can just pour the bacon grease into a jar. No mess, no dishes to clean up, no grease splatters, it's really the perfect way to make bacon imo.


i love this idea...how long and at what temp?

I cook mine at 350- but for how long, that really depends on how crispy you like it. Minimum of 15 minutes imo. That'll cook it all the way through but it won't be crispy. Just keep it in there till it's about as crispy as you like it. I personally like it where the edges just start to crisp but the whole thing isn't crunchy cardboard. About 20 minutes.

Yeah, I don't like to have to portion out the grease, so I get bacon that doesn't have much fat. Just enough that the eggs don't stick to the pan. It's wonderful love



My wife sucks at grocery shopping, so I have to make do.

fried in a pan on the stove.

that way you have hot grease ready to go for the eggs that immediately follow.


why would anyone make bacon without frying eggs in the grease? why would anyone make eggs without bacon grease?
