Pan fried. Cast iron is ideal, but a large non stick skillet with a heavy bottom is just fine. I put just a light spray of PAM on the surface of the pan first, seems to help them cook more evenly. 2 and a half to 3 minutes a side on medium high heat.

Hm. I wonder how grilled bacon tastes...
 
2012-02-05 04:33:34 AM
If I'm making just a few pieces, pan fried. However, I cook it in the oven if I'm preparing a whole package.

I do em on the Foremen. Plus I get a nice clean tray of bacon fat for something else.

Bacon is too greasy when pan fried.

Pan fried or gtfo

I'm really digging on the kind of undercooked, chewy bacon warapped stuff lately. So... however that is done.

Gotta agree with this one. Something about microwaving bacon seems to impart a strange flavor and odor to it.

Pan fried is really the only way to go, IMHO.
 
2012-02-05 07:06:59 AM
Never microwave. I do some really thick bacon in the oven and it turns out well. I prefer pan fried if it's not thick cut.

I've never had BBQ bacon, would love to try some. Also would like to try this:

Nothing is better microwaved.
 
2012-02-05 07:57:26 AM
yeah, you just don't microwave bacon. my wife tried to pull that once, and I was all "biatch, move." It's worth the burns to do it right.
 
2012-02-05 07:59:47 AM
Pan fried. Slightly crispy and drenched in its own grease.
 
2012-02-05 07:59:57 AM
What kind of stupid farking question is this? Microwave? Cast iron, stove top. End of story.

I'm trying to figure out how that's put together, and failing. Is it just...lots of bacon wrapped together?

No, it's bacon stuffed into sausage, then wrapped in a bacon weave like so.

Out of bacon, don't have sausage.

Speaking of...

Anybody ever make their own sausage? Is it difficult? How did you do it?
 
2012-02-05 08:35:31 AM
Pan fried. I usually bust out two skillets and cook as much bacon as I can at once.

Never tried, but It doesn't look that hard, you probably just need a grinder, some way to season it, and the right meat or mix thereof.
 
2012-02-05 08:49:36 AM
Pan fried. Just make sure you don't burn.

/sorry, sweetie

I use the outdoor grill on low and put the bacon in a deep rectangular aluminum pan.

Mmm....bacon

I usually make at least 100 lb of venison sausage a year. It is not hard, but there can be a bit of a learning curve if you are stuffing them into casings. It's all about stuffing them at the right speed and making sure the casing get the right amount of stuffing without overstuffing and breaking the casing.

Also, it depends on if you are just going to freeze them or put them in a smoke house to dry out. I tend to prefer dried sausage myself. Additionally you can make pan sausage by stuffing it into plastic bags. That's about the easiest thing to do.

We get a regular visit from the fire department whenever we fire up the smoke house for the first time. We have a good relationship with them. We give them some sausage for the hassle.

Grilled hungarian bacon is the best.

Or on a stick stuck into a hardwood fire.

All else is mere approximation.

Deep fried bacon wasn't as good as I thought it would be. The bacon lost most of it's flavor and just tasted like crispy grease.

Never heard of baking bacon. How about broiled bacon?

I used to work at a restaurant where they would deep fry their bacon for Bacon Cheeseburgers when they were in a hurry. DF'ing ruined it.

If you broil it keep the oven door open and keep a close eye on it.

Pan fried. And not too crispy, certainly not burned. That's perfect bacon. This one retard who used to penis me "gently insisted" (wtf is gently insisted supposed to mean anyway?) that I prepare it in the broiler. I started a kitchen fire. Sadly, it did not kill him.

Right. If you're only doing so much bacon that you can fit it in the pan, then use the pan. But if you have to do more than one batch in the pan, then you shouldn't use a pan- unless you like coating your entire kitchen with splatter.

I also find it easier to reserve the fat if I do the bacon in the oven. I'm not actually sure why, it just feels easier to pour off from the foil.

I worked at a 5 star resort as a breakfast chef.
Had to get at at 4 AM to prep.
Worst part was the 50 sheet pans of bacon that had to be baked to "just almost done"
Ten you had to drain the grease off and stack the slightly limp stuff on egg flats so the line chef could put a couple of pieces under and iron on a flat top so it was just cooked as it went out with the 500 orders of eggs over easy.
No one is a happy breakfast customer.
I've never seen so many picky people.
The vast majority of them were members of a religion that isn't supposed to eat bacon, anyway.

I make better bacon for the local community center now and pan fry it to perfection. Not too crispy, not limp and greasy. Just right.

I'm going to run an omelette bar for the next one.
The brunches used to suck there until my friend an I got involved.

Finishing up the community outdoor pizza oven this spring.
