Thread: Do you bake your bacon?

I nuke mine..I have a bacon cooking pan with raised slots on it...Put two sheets of paper towel down-load on the bacon and cover with a single sheet...Cook for about 5 min and check it add more time if needed... Towels soak up grease and dish has a place for the drippings to go...

Left over grease is a treat for the outside dog over his kibble..

I bake my bacon in the oven and on top of a cooling rack. Turns out nice and crispy everytime and it doesn't lay in the grease either.

bake, it is less messy and comes out better, I think

I used to fry, then nuked it for a while....then saw Rachale Ray Show and she said bake it! I haven't tried it yet, but I will.

That's what hubby does with ours. We also save the bacon drippings in a special container which we keep in the refrigerator. Sometimes the drippings makes the perfect grease for cooking things.

However...my grandfather was a chef and he taught me to bake it in the oven. He would take a long steel slotted spoon and lay it across a cookie sheet and then drape the bacon over it. It kept most of the bacon out of the grease and it cooked evenly and perfect every time. Plus, it was pretty easy to clean up. So, that's what we used to do before microwaves came along.

I've never thought of baking it. I'll have to try that sometime. We cook ours on the George Foreman grill and it comes out great!

I fry mine but I want to bake it. I dont like it overcooked though. I never thought about doing it in the Foreman grill! hmmmmm....might have to get it out and try it! :-)

We only eat turkey bacon and we microwave it.
