How do YOU cook bacon?

[ChrissyE]

I really was wanting some bacon tonight. But it makes such a mess of my stove, and its late and I really dont want to have a lot of clean up. I was just wondering how YOU cook bacon. Is your way less messy?

I grill bacon, yes it is a bit messy, but so nice.

Many years ago I remember seeing a "Bacon Tree" - a stand on which bacon could be hung to cook in a microwave. Does anyone know about this? Are products like this still available? How does the bacon come out? Grilling would be hard to beat.

Alternatively, how does it cook in a contact grill? I have been thinking of one of those, but haven't yet found one with contact plates I can remove and put in the dishwasher. And agin, how does the bacon turn out?

I live in the UK where availability might be very different to the USA.

in a bowl in the microwave with paper napkin over the top to stop it from spitting when heated. I find that if I cook a little longer in the microwave, it comes out slightly crunchy.

I throw mine on a baking sheet in the oven at 400 degrees until it's brown and crispy.

Bake or broil in oven when I don't want to pan fry.

I used to do it in the oven too but now I use our George Foreman grill. It makes wonderful bacon and clean-up is a snap - easier than scrubbing the pan from the oven. Mine doesn't have plates that detach either, but you use big blobs of wet paper towels while it's still hot there is NO scrubbing or anything.

Re: How do YOU cook bacon?

I use a broiler pan and I cook the bacon at 350 degrees, flipping the bacon every so often to make sure they're done, but not overly so.

Hello,

I pan fry in a good old iron skillet a package at a time and then save it in the fridge in a ziploc bag. Love my iron skillet!

Re: How do YOU cook bacon?

If I'm frying a whole pound, I do it in a pan on the stove. If I just need a few slices, I nuke it on a plate between sheets of paper towels.

Sometimes I fry it in my cast iron skillet and sometimes (especially at work) I do it in the microwave with paper towels under it and one over it..comes out nice and crispy! Also makes everyone in the office hungry!
