How do you cook Bacon?

[tripplej]

There is an interesting article in regards to cooking Bacon perfectly. See link here..

They recommend the best way is to cook bacon in water..

I always used the oven or frying pan but never tried the water method..

Any thoughts?

I usually cook in the oven at 400 with the bacon on an upside-down wire rack placed on a cookie sheet. Occasionally I'll cook in a cast iron skillet along with some eggs. The water in a skillet seems to be a rather odd way of cooking bacon.

Thanks Mark for your input. I do like your upside-down wire rack. Wonder what it looks like??

According to the folks who posted the video, water is the best method. I haven't tried it but it is interesting concept.

I deep fry mine in a 15" cast iron fry pan. I only cook bacon in it & I use bacon grease. The trick is knowing when to turn it. Time it so it gets 3 turns. Comes out great.

Cooking Bacon is indeed a science!

Well, imagine bacon on top.

Nice. Thanks for sending the picture. I was wondering what you meant. Now it is all clear.

typically wrapped around things... like chicken... shrimp... sausage... turkey... etc.

Yup. Mmmm. Or I'll just slam a pound on the griddle and cook it long enough to get the fat juice off

ewww... crunchy bacon??? oh hell no. Why did he kill the bacon like that????

Everybody has different tastes for bacon.

You're welcome. This method works pretty well, none of the bacon gets burnt as it cooks evenly and there is no need to turn.
