Truscifi Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Yup. Microwaved bacon is gross to me, but lightly crisped pan-fried...can't be beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silliness7 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I like the oven because it's easier. I don't have to watch it that closely and I rarely ruin it. AND I can make more at a time. But it tastes better fried. Maybe because I bake it on my roaster with the drip pan so it's not cooking in it's own grease. So maybe a bit healthier but not as tasty. :D Maybe I should oven fry it on a cookie sheet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcelmer Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 This is my favorite way, quick, simple clean up, and no forgetting to flip the bacon & burning it... Cover a cookie sheet with foil and put bacon on ungreased foil. Put on center rack in cold oven, set temperature to 400oF and bake for 15-18 minutes. NO FLIPPING! Only turn the sheet if your oven cooks unevenly. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SailorMom Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 The best bacon I have ever had was wound around a stick and cooked over a campfire.... Fried is great - but man - the campfire bacon was amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXMomof4 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Fried bacon is delicious - but for a bacon treat. Thread it on a skewer, cover with brown sugar and bake as above. 400 for 15-20 min. Bacon-candy. Yummmmy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wrap small chunks of chicken in bacon and secure with a toothpick. Then we dip those in brown sugar with a little bit of chili powder. Bake. It is so good.

********* Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 And even better than that when it's baked! the oven rocks! :iagree: I like the oven because it's easier.

Maybe because I bake it on my roaster with the drip pan so it's not cooking in it's own grease. So maybe a bit healthier but not as tasty. :D Maybe I should oven fry it on a cookie sheet? Yes, yes you should. Because it's bacon, after all; isn't not gonna be healthy, it might as well be as yummy as possible.

Putting it in the oven before you heat it up lets the fat render out of the bacon as the oven heats up, and I think it works best. Tastes exactly like frying it on the stove, but SOOO much easier to clean up, plus you can make a LOT more at a time. I was a happy lady the day I discovered this way of cooking bacon.

hsmom Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I would also like to know if it splatters all over the oven. I loved fried bacon, but it has to be applewood smoked bacon.

janie_ranae Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I vote for baked too. It is delicious and convenient baked! I use my pampered chef bar pan and it works fabulous. For a package of 500g I have to put the pan in twice, but the second go around is much faster with the pan still hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 My favorite way to eat bacon (after I fry it) is inside a homemade corn tortilla which has been cooked in butter. I know, it is so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
