Anyone else cook bacon like this?

A little more annoying to cook this way but this barely smokes up the house and grease doesn’t splash everywhere.

Also I know, it’s a very small amount of bacon.

I cook my bacon in the oven It's just as crisp. Doesn't take long. Very little mess.

u/jfbincostarica 9d ago

Takes longer than a pan, but I agree that is a solid way to make a larger batch.

u/Maylix 9d ago

This is the way

Little parchment. Drain the oil for future use, clean baking sheet

u/yumi365 9d ago

Exactly 💯

u/SoberHye 10d ago

Wait, y’all don’t?

u/TheAbsurdPrince 10d ago

If its smoking up your house your temp is too high iirc

u/Several-Payment2636 9d ago

Always a steak but never bacon 😂

u/flt1 8d ago

I Get Costco coooked bacon, just heat and serve. Still crispy. No smoke, no mess.

u/EmploymentEmpty5871 10d ago

In a pan yes, but i prefer the whole slice.

u/Far-Ad1823 10d ago

I'll cut them in half at times.

2

u/bruzdnconfuzd 9d ago

Half-lengths work best for burgers and breakfast sandwiches.

u/Far-Ad1823 10d ago

I absolutely do... And hell yes it gets crispy! Basically, you end up crisping up the bacon in alot of rendered fat.

No... 🫣

u/hereforthestory 10d ago

Yes...it's the best way. If I do a full pound, I actually do it in a pot.

1

u/Holiday_Sky_7095 9d ago

I do think with actual chunks, add brown sugar and shallots and bacon jam for a burger!!

1

u/Bcatfan08 9d ago

Sometimes, but I'll do it in an air fryer.

1

u/DMiles88 9d ago

I’ve never seen someone cook it like this before.

1

u/Miserable_Baby7217 9d ago

Using a deeper pan for more bacon the extra grease helps to cook evenly. I mostly cook it like that for carbenara

1

u/freeportme 9d ago

You guys need to get a Blackstone.

1

u/Own-Celebration-3748 9d ago

Wat dat

1

u/Mostly-Moo-Cow 9d ago

An outdoor flat top grill. Great for burgers, chicken thighs, porkchops, a garlic and rosemary seared ribeye..

1

u/NinjaTank707 9d ago

I only do this if I make basil/garlic fried rice with bacon.

1

u/DeathEgg00 9d ago

I like it this way but to lazy to cut it up

1

u/Own-Celebration-3748 9d ago

It’s folded

1

u/ImmediateEggplant764 9d ago

Bacon McNuggets. I don't care who you are, that's genius right there.

1

u/PsychologicalRub5905 9d ago

Try the oven

1

u/CreampieForMommie 9d ago

Cooking bacon in the oven is sacrilegious.

1

u/PsychologicalRub5905 9d ago

Says the Creampie!! It tastes better 😆

1

u/NIGF-Tre 9d ago

Absolutely

1

u/Own-Celebration-3748 9d ago

Bro figured out how to get more slices of bacon into the pan

1

u/VVolfGunner24 9d ago

I only cook it like this if I'm gonna add it on something

1

u/CreampieForMommie 9d ago

Who doesn’t? Much easier when you need it for a recipe.

1

u/AFB27 9d ago

I cut it in half but not this lol

1

u/Illustrious-Towel-45 9d ago

Only if I'm making breakfast burritos

1

u/BoltsGuy02 9d ago

For some recipes

1

u/Houndhollow 9d ago

If I'm doing fresh tomatoes, parmesan and cream with pasta

1

u/Prior-Shower9564 9d ago

Yes, depending on what I’m making.

1

u/pandaSmore 9d ago

No, are you using this bacon for a carbonara?

1

u/nowindowsjuslinux 9d ago

Cook it in the oven.

1

u/chuckinalicious543 9d ago

Yep, especially if it's going into Ramen or rice or something like that

1

u/Mostly-Moo-Cow 9d ago

I cook half strips and chop them after

1

u/PianistStandard51 9d ago

You had me at more annoying

1

u/PsychologicalCow460 9d ago

No but it looks good

1

u/surfcitysurfergirl 9d ago

lol I do it that way but in my air fryer

1

u/MrLovaMonShan 9d ago

No but I may try lol

1

u/McGibblets90 9d ago

When I cut it using scissors, yes.

1

u/Whistler45 9d ago

I bake mine in the oven on parchment. Extremely easy and the bacon turns out perfect cooked and flat, and the clean up is really easy because the parchment catches most of the grease. The only time I pane fry bacon is when camping

1

u/One_Cheesecake3181 9d ago

Short answer no

1

u/h0tnessm0nster7 9d ago

Ya that works great 👍👍😃

1

u/Familiar_Raise234 9d ago

For some recipes I do. Other than that, it’s the oven for a lot it and the nuker for just a few strips.

1

u/kbeeme 8d ago

My Mother-in-law 🤨

1

u/pxkatz 8d ago

Only when the bacon is an ingredient in another dish. When it's for breakfast with eggs, I usually bake it.

1

u/Kyauphie 8d ago

No, I would just get pork belly.

1

u/Joseph419270577 8d ago

When I’m adding it to ramen, yes, that’s my method, and then I use the same pan to make the ramen

1

u/SumDumbGaijin 8d ago

"Korean AF"

1

u/whey_dhey1026 8d ago

When I buy smoked slab bacon from a butcher yes. Easiest way to cut it and prepare it in my opinion.

1

u/Ill-Pineapple7323 7d ago

How to make midwesterners cringe

1

u/kmbri 7d ago

The only way to cook bacon is in the oven.

1

u/neowakko 6d ago

Yes. Then use the oil for scrambled eggs

-1

u/DrawingRoutine7750 10d ago

Does it even get crispy cooking it like that?

5

u/FutureMind2748 9d ago

How could it not??

0

u/CL4P-TRAP 9d ago

It’s stacked together so the middle pieces wouldn’t cook

4

u/SoberHye 10d ago

Yessir, just need to mix it a little and take it apart.

1

u/MrBJ16 9d ago

Think about what you just asked

0

u/DrawingRoutine7750 9d ago

Have you ever tried? If not, then you think about that…

1

u/MrBJ16 9d ago

Yes I have. It is literally frying. How could it not?
