How do you cook your bacon?

[Stanley Design]

I recently discovered the art of cooking bacon in the microwave on one of those bacon pallet things. I found that it was a hell of a lot quicker, cleaner, less greasy, better cooked. There's no fat left uncooked, it tastes meatier and is less covered in grease,all the grease drips to the bottom and the bacon never burns. I'm giving up on the frying method, this one is TOTALLY boss. All you have to do is whipe down the pallet afterwards and you're good to go. way better than cleaning a frying pan/surrounding area on the stove/clothes/spatula/etc. So what about you big rig?

It depends on the bacon.

Usually I'll grill it. Streaky bacon I'll cook in a hot oven between two baking trays, really crisps it up.

If microwaving it tastes better than frying, you're frying it wrong.

Grill it.

As always in these polls - not enough options....

I find the best way, is to wrap the bacon in some foil and bake in the oven - no flavour lost, but no oiliness or greasiness from frying!

If I'm in a hurry I'll grill it!

George Foremanize it

Fry it in mass amounts of butter or oil.. whatever is on hand.

The only way after a big night on the town

I'm glad to see from the wide sampling thus far that no one here microwaves their bacon.

Agree 100% - so, like...if grilling bacon is too slow for you, then you really do have attention-defecit syndrome!!

You guys are just too old to get on the trolley!

It cooks the bacon more thoroughly (such as in the oven)
It cooks faster than any other way
It has very easy cleanup
It's healthier.

That's a winner in my books. I also hate my bacon "crispy" I like it kind of chewy/meaty. My girlfriend turned me onto this method, said she's never had fried bacon until she met me and has no desire to have it again. Neither do I.

Err...yeah.. so Microwave radiation is healthier.....

Keep taking the dose!!

Unluckily, I can't indulge myself with bacon too often... Maybe once a year I get one, so yeah, I bake it.

You should fire her then.

Grilled, every time. It scares me to see all the fat dripping off - I'd rather not add more with a frying pan

Fry it... because the eggs you cook taste so much better when they're fried in bacon grease.

I jsut fry it - or basically warm it through. Can't stand when it goes crispy...

BUT I remember as a very small child, my grandmother cooked bacon is a labour intensive, but great tasting way. If I remember right she'd fry it the night before, and leave it to cool till the next morning, when she'd grill it (or maybe she grilled it THEN fried it - I was very young). The results were crispy without that burnt bacon taste i hate...

Only a grandma could have that patience, and forthought to plan a bacon sandwich 14 hours in advance, but the results were worth it (as I remember).

I'm assuming you just eat the pig right where it stands?

Yeah, we just cut a little peace and eat it... when it's time to cut another one off; well… the cut from last time heals. It's endless supply of meat/fat.


We do too things with pig fat, we either cure it with salt or smoke it. MMMM

However I don't discriminate against bacon fried or baked or bbqed.
