POLL: How do you like your bacon cooked?

[jhjesse]

The next obvious question is how do you cook it?

I do the microwave thing when in a hurry, but prefer to lay it all out on a baking sheet in the oven @ 475° for 17-20 minutes.

In the frying pan that way you can use the grease to fry eggs and make gravvvvvvvvyyyyyyyy for the biscuits.

I don't want to muddy the waters here, and some of you Yankees won't understand, but there is one thing better than bacon, especially for breakfast, country ham.

Hey Lou have you ever tried our delicacy from PA -- Scrapple. Oh so tasty with syrup or ketchup. Here's the ingredients, you can sorta guess by the first 5 letters of it's name, LOL

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapple


Scrapple is typically made of hog offal, such as the head, heart, liver, and other trimmings, which are boiled with any bones attached (often the entire head), to make a broth. Once cooked, bones and fat are discarded, the meat is reserved, and (dry) cornmeal is boiled in the broth to make a mush. The meat, finely minced, is returned to the pot and seasonings, typically sage, thyme, savory, black pepper, and others are added.[2][3] The mush is formed into loaves and allowed to cool thoroughly until set. The proportions and seasoning are very much a matter of the region and the cook's taste.

Oh, and bacon should only be cooked in a pan. I use a little of the run off for my pan to fry my eggs.

 

[LouDoo]

Yep, the only way to cook bacon is to fry it, and save the bacon grease.

Using the grease to make gravy is a *Heart Attack* waiting to happen.

OK...you don't use all the grease in the gravy. You just flavor it with the drippings.

Doesn't the bacon that we are consuming produce the grease that is going to give us the Heart Attack?? just sayin.

I always used to fry bacon in the pan too, until I tried baking it one time. Wayy easier, hardly any cleanup with aluminum foil, and it didn't seem to shrink as much

I can vouch for that. I grew up in Maryland. I've never had biscuits and gravy (don't like gravy) and I'd rather have a bowl of oatmeal than to eat the smallest amount of grits.

Don't like gravy??? In KY gravy is the state beverage.
