Baking bacon. Anyone do this?

[Oyeve]

Anyone microwave it?

Thats how I do it. A bounty on top and in 2-3 mins perfect bacon.

For an added level of difficulty...

Then go the fuck away.

Hey you wanna eat steaming piles of shit, then that's well within your right. It also within my right to be nauseated by people eating steaming piles of shit.

I like to sprinkle a little brown sugar on the pieces while they broil or bake in the oven.

edit: lol, I guess I've been making the bacon that keithp shared.

I've made candied bacon a couple times, but it never ends up very crispy. I guess I'm doing it wrong... :/

I learned this method in culinary school, and I've got my whole family doing it because it works so well:

For flaky, crispy bacon every time-

1) Lay strips of bacon in a large frying pan, then cover with just enough water to completely cover the bacon.
2) Put on medium heat until the water boils away.
3) The water will render the fat and leave the meat in place. When the water is gone, turn up the heat and fry the bacon normally.

You'll be left with very light, brittle, and delicious bacon. Enjoy

A truly evil appetizer:

8 thick slices of centercut, applewood smoked bacon, tempura fried and drizzled with local honey.





Anyway, yeah, baking bacon is the way to go for convenience I'd say, but the flavor IMO just isn't the same as if you whipped up a batch in your favorite cast iron pan.
I'm going to try that method Fritzo, it sounds like it should work.

 

[sdifox]

meh, bacon in pan first, when bacon is done, crack eggs.

 

[NetWareHead]

Ive done it in the oven but not in a cookie sheet or on the oven rack. I piled about a pound of sliced bacon in a cast iron pan and threw the entire thing in the oven. When bacon is done, remove and also drain the grease. Now the hot pan can be used for eggs and potatoes on the stove.

 

[Cerb]

What are you supposed to cook the eggs, in, if you do that? A cold skillet with no fat?

I just wouldn't bother because I never cook enough bacon at a time to make it worth using the oven, and I'm almost always going to use at least most of the grease before the pan cools down.

 

[Raduque]

We bake it at work. I pan fry it at home. Gonna have to try that bacon/brown sugar thing though.

 

[Pr0d1gy]

Yeah that's how we do it at my house, my wife rocks.

 

[sdifox]

Yeah that's he who do it at my house, my wife rocks.

Your wife is a he? :sneaky:

 

[BUTCH1]

I ripped it from google images. That's how I would do it, that way the grease drips.



I used to until I started doing it in a pan. I bet I'll keep doing it in a pan until I start baking it.

That's interesting, gotta admit I've never thought about doing it like that. Maybe spray the racks before laying out the bacon. I've got a convection oven so it should work even better.... OK, that's it, I'm gonna make a bacon-run today and give it a whirl..

I pretty much agree, hashies and OE eggs taste awesome cooked in bacon grease but as already pointed out you can just use the dripping from the oven pan..

The daily miracle I use called Pam spray should prevent that, how mankind survived without Pam for thousands of years is beyond me..

It's a lame joke... you were supposed to say lulz :'(

you know, bacon, bake-on?

It's easier to do in the microwave from my experience.

Pam leaves an odd flavor on food, so I tend to avoid it. A trick I do instead is wipe a tiny amount of shortening on a paper towel and then wipe it on the pan. Works a lot better, it doesn't scorch, and no funky taste.

how, not he

I guess over the course of 4000+ posts I am bound to make a mistake once in awhile.
