Bacon and Eggs

[MrMonkey]

Never thought of baking bacon! What temp do you bake it at? My mother always used the bacon grease too but never liked eggs back then!

i start at 350....when the grease gets flowing dial back to 325...dont forget to flip.


cutting pieces in half will increase your yield....they will lay ultra flat

If you're not cooking your bacon in the oven, then you're not doing it right.

Place your bacon on a pan lined with parchment paper in a cold oven. Jack it to 325 and wait about 8 minutes.

I know sometimes we would buy some cheap brand bacon that look like the more expensive name brand but by the time it was done frying ...... WTF did it go? So shriveled up! We're gonna to try baking next time to keep it flat!

Even Fiver knows! I guess better late than never!

The cheap bacon is great to cook up for things like perogies.

I use my iron skillet. The way bacon was intended to be cooked.

Thats not how they do it in a restaurant.... they bake it.

 

[Badnina]

I don't enjoy chewie bacon.

I cook my uncured Sunday bacon in a pan and do 1 flip. (Med high)

I also do 2 grease drains while cooking

When they're done, I place them gently on a plate lined with paper towels and then gently DAB the top half of them with a paper towel.

Crispy bacon.
