If I cooked bacon it would be in the microwave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oven is the only way I can cook it all at once so I can eat. I guess if I had a big griddle, that would work (how I do it camping, though mine is only big enough for a half a package). That's the part that matters, getting the bacon into my belly. Any other method means my son can get to it while I am still cooking it reducing the amount of bacon I get. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always have a roll of it handy. My brother swears by baking it at 400° but I don't think he uses parchment paper. I'll do it and compare notes. I don't eat bacon very often - preferring Amy Lu's precooked chicken sausage (sold at Costco) which is 2/3 the cal. of Brown N Serve and tastes great. When I'm hungry for bacon - usually with baked beans of a BLT sandwich, I've cooked it in a frying pan but am going to bake it in the oven on parchment paper next time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur ★ Posted December 2, 2019 Share #9 Posted December 2, 2019 Whatever Random Guy says here is wrong. Bacon must at least a little crisp. Oven baked on the pan, no paper, no foil, convection is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, battered and deep fried is best. We were keeping it healthy sounding for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After eating whatever I wanted to for 73 years the piper has to be paid. I've already outlived my genetics by a couple of decades with little else besides exercise. Now that I'm slowing down a bit I'm doing the Satchel Page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was assuming the "best way" was the healthiest way and was transforming bacon back into a nutritional superfood. Please let your doctor know you've been cleared by the Cafe to resume eating bacon.

Airehead Posted December 2, 2019 Share #18 Posted December 2, 2019 Bake the whole pound on parchment. Then freeze any leftover in a zip lock bag. Reheat briefly in microwave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
