I don't have any special tools like what you have. It does sound interesting. I don't like flipping over the strips much either. I found out about how people like to bake their bacon. So I just googled baking bacon. So at 400 degrees I put the bacon on a glass baking dish. It says 15 to 20 minutes. I'm afraid of under cooking pork so I go the 20 minutes. I set the timer on my phone and it is so easy to me. Now I always bake the bacon.

I take bacon however I can get it. I must say though, baking is my favorite method of preparation.

david777111 (61) · 8 years ago

Yes food-trail, anyway I can get bacon if someone else cooks it. I'm only baking it when I'm cooking. I didn't even eat bacon for a long time until I found out about the ketogenic diet of eating more fat and less of the carbs. Now bacon is back on my shopping list.

I find it hard to eat eggs without bacon

david777111 (61) · 8 years ago

Yes phamark, I do like eggs with bacon. Sometime though if I don't have any eggs at the time I'll just do the bacon as a snack.

Welcome to Steem! Sous vide circulators are getting cheaper now. They're more within reach, and can do things that ovens or slow cookers can't quite do. They're nice for making really great meat dishes.

david777111 (61) · 8 years ago

Thanks pfunk. I really don't know too much of how this Steem thing works, but I always like telling stories. I'll have to look into those circulators. Still looks a little complex for me. I like cooking the easiest way I can get it.

I've been doing a vegetarian thing the last couple of weeks, but when I do make bacon, I usually just bake it at a low temperature (300ish) for 30 or so minutes. It's perfect every time. I wouldn't mind trying this method but it does require some extra tools.

lordvader (69) · 8 years ago

Does "making bacon" mean something different on your planet? These were not the images I was looking for.

tarazkp (80) · 8 years ago

I always assumed the balance between light and dark bacon was the force at play.

jlboone (42) · 8 years ago

This sounds amazing!! I would love to try it if I had the tools! I like that it can be done ahead of time. I have always baked bacon in the oven and that seems to be a clean, no-hassle way to make it. I can get it done while cooking the rest of breakfast. It seems to drain quite a bit of the fat off as well. 400 degrees for 8 minutes, flip the pan, then 8 more minutes. Easy, simple, and if you use tin foil on the bottom of the pan, clean up is a snap!

thescreendoor (35) · 8 years ago

I just want abs...
...olutely all the bacon

rvalerius (32) · 8 years ago

I would recommend the use of the NuWave Oven. A bit less messy than the old frying pan, you can cook it on a standard kitchen counter top, and the bacon produced is a crispy and delicious as they come. Shill over, but legit, the NuWave cooks some fantastic bacon.

food-trail (61) · 8 years ago

I've never heard of the NuWave Oven but it sounds like something I need to check out.

tornillio (32) · 8 years ago

The only way to make it better is to put a scoop of ice cream on it

Hahaha well now that the idea is in my head somewhere, it might be tried at some point.

I like to cook my bacon in the oven. It makes nice flats strips and also lets me keep an eye on it. It's pretty great.

pfunk (72) · 8 years ago

To each their own of course. I admit I have not given oven-cooked bacon a fair shake yet

paleotreats (53) · 8 years ago

Nice, hadn't thought of sous viding it. We mostly just chuck it in the oven for 8-10 minutes and get to gnoshing! The big issue we have with most bacon is how much dang sugar is in it; you really have to watch ingredients and make sure you're not eating "candy" when you think you're eating meat. Enjoy!

ace108 (77) · 8 years ago

Interesting way to cook it with some kind of infra-red lamp. So, in theory, I guess could put it out in the sun in the heat of summer and works the same maybe

pfunk (72) · 8 years ago

It's not solely infrared. It's also pumping out hot firey gases from burning butane. But the screen helps even out and recycle some of the heat.

Bacon is best when cooked in a pan, crispy with most of the fat cooked away!

food-trail (61) · 8 years ago

I like mine cooked in a pan but I actually think I prefer baking it because it seems less greasy, and still remains crispy.

pfunk (72) · 8 years ago

I still like a little tenderness in mine, but don't want uncooked meat either

Great post but as a vegetarian I can assure you that bacon is one of the things I least desire to consume- and I used to love it! The thick German Black Forest variety was my poison. But any more it would make me vomit- literally. LOL- but to each their own.

Who doesn't love bacon? We make our own bacon at home because we want to keep the crap out of our food. Here in the USofA, pigs are fed all kinds of crap, and lots of GMO corn. So we buy pork bellies from a reliable source, brine and smoke with mesquite ourselves. I just cant buy anything at the store that tastes so good.

Your method is very interesting, but I would be concerned about any chemicals that may be released from the plastic into the bacon by the heat.

Just something to think about.

Good ideas with bacon. I like bacon. I do not want to eat too much bacon. I want to be as healthy as possible. I do not want to eat too much meat. I love the fish more than bacon but bacon can be very good too. We should make bacon great again. Thanks for the post and for the photos. I love to eat and I might become a fat cute man with an Asian wife. I am a fan of bacon and eggs. Take care.
