I found that when pan frying bacon that using two forks to grab the bacon and turn it works better than tongs or any other utinsel i've found. Give it a try! |

Depending on your wattage and amount you are cooking this may differ. I have a 1700 watt microwave. On a paper plate lay two paper towels down. Place your bacon on the paper towels. Cover with one paper towel. For 6 slices, go 2:45 on high. For 8-9 slices go 4-4:30 on high. Perfect bacon every time! |

I baked my bacon in the oven on a cookie sheet in the past. I neglected to remove excess grease between batches, and the grease caught fire in the oven....just something to keep in mind. |

Next time you BBQ, throw some bacon on there. the extra smoke of the BBQ adds to the flavor. Makes a really great BLT. |

try putting it backers sheets in the oven at about 180 deg. F it takes about 30 min but you don't need to turn it or do anything until you take it out. with this method you will get the best bacon with the least shrinkage and every peace will be the same. this is the way I prefer for preparing large batches for the restaurant. |

I have tried the Alton Brown method listed below, using a shallow baking pan and placing the bacon on a cooling rack inside the pan. I used thick sliced bacon and baked it at 400 degrees, just checking for doneness after 10 minutes or so. The bacon stayed flat and was perfectly crispy. |

They make ridged plastic bacon racks specifically for microwaving bacon. They're very handy -- you just put the bacon on there, pour out the grease when you're done, and voila. Mmm...bacon... |

now that's bacon!
I'd be tempted to plop it on an omelet then flip inside out . . .
but cheese is good <g> |

A great trick to keep your bacon cooked evenly--and flat--is to simply place another pan on top of your pan.
E.g., 250F put a cookie sheet pressed down on top of your bacon on foil on its cookie sheet. With contact, cooks evenly, flat like pancake, so much better than micro. Takes a little longer, though. |

The best way to cook bacon in my opinion is gas grilling. Cook it as fast as you possibly can (highest heat, top rack). To avoid bacon curling up, make cuts into the fat every inch and a half or so. Also, as soon as the fat goes golden and crispy turn the bacon over. This will then make the bacon contract in the other direction towards the heat.
Also, for extra flavour only butter one side of the bread. Place sauce on buttered side. Keep one slice of bread spare to dip in the fat after you're finished. This way you don't waste any flavour. Don't worry about calories, we're cooks not doctors.
this is the way ALL my family cooks bacon and im yet to find anyone who can challenge me on my bacon sarni skills. |

I think that guy who said bacon is healthier baked at a low temperature so he cooks it overnight (while sleeping I presume) should reconsider leaving an electric oven on overnight with a flammable high-fat item inside. I mean, if you care about your health, the fire will get you before the cancer. Be that as it may, I am excited about baking bacon for the first time, following the advice of using a low temperature, but only when I'll be close by and awake to do so. Thanks for the tips. |

The hands down best way to cook bacon is to bake it, not broil it, in an oven. Place the bacon in a shallow pan and stick it in the oven at 300-325F. Bake for about a half hour until browned, turning once. When it's done, remove it from the pan and blot between paper towels. Every piece will be an even golden brown and it will literally melt in your mouth. The bacon will have an even texture throughout with no hard areas like you get in a microwave or by frying.
