Do you have any bacon-cooking tips to add?
You might like to try sous vide bacon. 8+ hours at 145-150F and it is cooked then just fry quickly on one side to crisp. Can be kept in the refrigerator and used as needed. Simple, low odour and almost foolproof. Added bonus your bacon fat is perfectly clean.
Yeah, cast iron does not heat evenly. It holds heat. Thats its job.
The best advice I can add is for newlyweds. Never fry bacon naked. It spoils the honeymoon. You'll appreciate my advice if you fail to take use it, but then it's too late.
I prime my pan with a tablespoon or two of bacon grease I keep frozen. Also, I use my steel potato-masher as a bacon-press and it works great. I cook in cast iron, med/low flame, turning frequently, and I dust the strips with a bit of red pepper a few seconds before pulling them off. May not be "right", but I always think it comes out good.
@@Mahaney82 when warming no, but once it's up to temp it's a uniform temp.
"The only negative thing about bacon is the lingering smell it leaves behind" -- BLASPHEMY. Bacon smell is not a stench but a perfume of the best things in life.
EXACTLY!!!!! 😋 😋 😋
Bacon is the food of the gods.
@SC EM The food of the gods. Hang it from every door, every lamp post. Morning, noon and night. BACON, BACON,BACON.

@@Greg042869 Bacon.....never barbaric to have that fabulous, versatile available.
I like a morning 'quickie' too. No bacon involved though.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@sperckensiedoitch /Hahaha!!
Bet there's some porking involved.
Or as I like to call it the "breakfast massage"😁
😹😹😹
Never drink the bacon grease while it's still hot, always wait for it to cool down
Yuck!!!!
The only mistake you can make with bacon is not eating it.
that's really vile
That warning is right up there with the one on a pizza box that said "Do not eat the box".
I've never had someone complain about my house smelling like bacon except for the fact I didn't save them any.
SAME AT MY HOUSE,DUSTIN❗BACON THEN, BACON NOW,FOREVER,BACON❗❗👆👈📢📢❗❗❗🙆
The biggest mistake is not cooking enough
Salmonella time :3
I eat salmonella and E. coli for breakfast
Not cooking enough bacon
you bastard.... you absolute bastard! you stole my exact thought when i read the title lmao xD
I disagree a slightly undercooked bacon is bomb.
I like when bacon curls up in the pan. The parts that touch the pan get crispy, the parts steam cooking above those get a more floppy texture, I prefer the varying textures in a single bite. I feel im in the minority where I dont like it when my entire bacon strip is crispy. I like it "imperfect" with the texture changes.
Do you like steamed hams?
Damn straight. A little chew with the crisp. Perfect
If you cook it right in oven, you get this perfectly.
Yes
Yes..me too!!
I don't know a single person what would want to get rid of the smell of bacon. lol.
Cures a lot of vegans
My grandpa saved all the bacon grease in a jar he kept on the back of the stove. He would strain it first and no one ever died. He used it when cooking eggs or making country gravy instead of using sausage grease. At thanksgiving he would use it to make a brown gravy too
Yes indeed...
Good stuff, Akow -- Bacon grease is way more healthy for cooking than seed oils for sure. Seed oils high in omega 6 are killers.
same here, but Grandma kept two cannisters on the back of the stove - one for bacon fat and one for schmaltz (chicken fat) BUT she never started the chicken in chicken fat, it was always cooked in bacon fat and the resulting oil mix went into the chicken can - best fried chicken ever, best gravy. Thanks for sharing!
The cast iron pan is basically the king of all frying pans
Amen to that, especially an old well used, seasoned cast iron pan
Try bacon in a carbon steel skillet - all the advantages of cast iron at half the weight and quicker heating. Seasons easier, too. The standard in Europe and in most pro kitchens
The only thing cast iron beats is 'arguably' disposable teflon pans.
Hmmm guess you guys never heard of a stone fry pan.
@@LearningFromYou What advantages? Tri-ply clad beats cast iron at everything.
I tried mine in the oven once and never looked back.
Less mess, no spat fat all over the top of the hob, less grease, & still crisps up lovely 💪🏻
Yep. My mum always cooked it in the oven so that's how I've always done it. When I got married, my hubby thought I was nuts.. until he ate it.
@@KG-VanityInKnickers is that all he ate?
I prefer softer, chewy bacon. Harder to get that in oven.
In an air fryer is the way to go, I use to use an oven, but not after the air fryer..
We started doing ours on the grill. Game changer. Perfect.
the number one thing to making the best bacon is the quality of the bacon!
Thick cut apple-wood is one of the best i've found.
That's me and a lot less clean up afterwards !!!!
The bacon press is fantastic. I've been a chef for 18 yrs. Use it daily. Always cooked great
i use it on my blackstone griddle to cook bacon, but the problem is that the bacon grease gets all over it and drips everywhere, kind of a pain in the ass.
Popcorn popped in bacon grease is the bomb
Oooh....gonna have to try that. Thank you random person on the web !
Good idea. Ill try that tomorrow
I've done that since I was a kid and I'm now 71 years young. It's Excellent.
Definitely trying that, thanks.
Infamous BC b
Put it on a cookie sheet, put it in the oven, then set the oven to 425, when it’s done eat it. Nice and simple
I like bacon on parchment paper...in the oven @ 300 degrees. The bacon cooks more evenly at the lower 300 degree temp. Cook until your crispy preference. No turning necessary. Try it...you'll like it.
that does work great, but what i do is it cook it part ways then wrap bundles up and place them in the freezer, when i need it I take it out and finish it on a skillet it does not splatter or burn and stays flat,
I was wondering if parchment works better than aluminum foil. I'll try it.
@@CitizenKate It may stick to the foil
It seems to reduce shrinking which leaves more bacon for us to eat.
Growing up, my mom always put three slices of bacon on top of her meatloaf. She made the best meatloaf ever! FYI, I'm 67. Many of the best cooking/baking habits have been lost. We should really bring them back!
I do this too. From my grandmother!
I just watched a 11min video about bacon....not even one regret.
FAR TOO MUCH INFO---I LOST INTEREST
My only regret is I don’t have any bacon in the house right now to go cook.
@@mirageseekr *_I'm bakin' Bacon right now... haa haaa, HAAA HHAAAAAA!_*
I used to fry my bacon in a pan on the stove or in a square electric skillet. THEN, I finally learned how much easier it is to cook bacon in the oven!! It is such a time saver, and I can be preparing other parts of the meal while waiting on the bacon, or washing dishes, doing laundry, etc. By cooking it in the oven, it also makes clean-up much easier!
Yeah but cleaning the oven is not easy. :(
@@harrycurrie9664 I used to think the same thing. Kept visualizing grease splattered throughout oven. One day I tried using toaster oven to cook bacon (350° about 8-10 mins.). Worked beautifully. Strips were cooked perfectly and not curled up. No splatter and easy clean up. Might want to give it a try.
@@karenmoran3707 I used to use my toaster oven to cook chicken legs etc. but the oven is hard to clean so only use it for things like cheese on toast. I use my microwave to cook bacon, wrap a rasher in kitchen towel put it on a safe plate and cook on high for about 2 mins, fat free and as crisp as you want it to be. You would have to experiment with the bacon you like, times will vary according to thickness and type.
@@harrycurrie9664 thanks. I used to do in microwave with success, but don't have one anymore. Always good to have options and experiment, right?
@@karenmoran3707 Of coarse it is, spice of life. Is the fact you don't have a microwave anymore based on health concerns ?
Every one cooks bacon how they want it cooked, there’s no right or wrong way.......no lessons required thank you...
I get so sick of these videos and articles from people telling the rest of us all of the things we are doing wrong.
Fine RUclips.. You win! It's the middle of the night, but I will get up and cook me some damn bacon
Any bacon that will "stand up in a bowl" in a microwave (or anywhere else) would hardly be worth eating - this is obviously a completely ridiculous assumption.
Michael Byrnee
That crossed MY mind as well!
I was recently preparing a major brunch to honor our preschool teachers who had done a great job during the pandemic keeping kids engaged and happy. This required cooking 6 lbs of bacon in the church kitchen. (Large cookie sheet method). The extractor fans were on and apparently there was almost chaos out in the play areas outside as the aroma of bacon swamped the entire neighborhood. Little kids and teachers all drooling at the mouth and complaining of being hungry …. after lunch that is …. Bacon aroma is surely a powerful thing.
18 minutes in a 420 F degree oven, all done evenly and ready to enjoy...
Cooking bacon in a cold pan only works for the first batch.
Another bacon mistake is letting maple syrup get anywhere near it.
That is not a mistake. Once it's on your plate, syrup or preserves go so good on it. You might not like it that way, but it is heavenly.
@@standupp2885 I never let syrup touch my bacon or sausage. Those things aren't even on the same plate for me. 🤮
Freeze cooked bacon?
My cooked bacon never lasts a week in the fridge.
I bake a pound a week and keep it wrapped in paper towel in a Ziploc bag in the fridge.
Less than 30 seconds to warm up for BLTs, Bacon Cheeseburgers, bacon and eggs, etc. Or, just to snack on. 🥓
@Dustin Stein I don't work in a pork processing plant and I probably have 15 pounds in my freezer.
Amen my brothers!
@DAVE ADAM usually 1.5 lb of thick cut. It doesn't always last the week. I bake it. I don't have to watch it and it lays flat. I make it after dinner, but I still eat about 3 slices.
Thank you for sharing this video with the world (of RUclips). I would have to say that bacon cooked in a cast iron skillet, on an open fire, is the best way to enjoy it. If you want to cook large batches of bacon, I've found that a non-stick cooking sheet, with the oven on a medium to low broil works best. You can even have the plump yet crispy results that Chefs achieve, by placing a bowl of water under the bacon as it cooks in the oven. The other thing I consider when cooking bacon, is the cut or size of the slices.
For thick sliced bacon, if it's cut correctly, a bacon press should not be necessary. If the bacon is thin, and you don't have a press, consider cutting the bacon into 3 or 4 pieces. This will avoid the 'crinkled' and 'shrinking' effects that happen to a long thin slice of bacon. If you don't care how big the piece bacon is, consider cubing it up into small pieces. What you don't eat can be stored in the fridge and added to eggs, salads, potatoes, or any other dish that you want...if you have any leftover, that is.
Best way is low,slow,flip an watch perfect every time 👍
(3:35) try lining the pan with paper towel if you want to burn down the house...
:) sounds awesome
I had to back that up, to make sure she said that.
*I guess it would give it that smoked bacon flavor.*
I'm drunk af right now and hearing that "hey there thanks for joining me for a quickie" woke me tf up
Da Ze
That didn't go unnoticed here, either!
Thick cut (1/4 inch) hickory smoke, maple and steak house (no longer available) bacon. I took 1 1/2 lbs each to a friend in Edinburgh Scotland and she was delighted.
Baking on a cookie sheet at 375 for 15 minutes without preheating. Perfection.
I almost always bake ours in the oven sometimes near the end I'll switch to the broiler to crisp up some of the fatty pieces. Only time I fry it in a cast iron skillet is when I am making biscuits and gravy
Pretty hard to fry your eggs if you do bacon in the oven
@@davidsignor7931 Not an issue for me. I use butter to fry my eggs. Bacon grease has way less flavor than butter.
Bacon grese work good with pinto refried beans 😉
Mr.Kardosović YES!!!🤗
#1 Bacon mistake ever is the creation of non-pork bacon if its not pork its not bacon
Say it again for the people in the back! Turkey bacon is NOT bacon! If it ain't pork, it ain't right!🤗
Let the church say Amen 👐
You get bacon from pork belly, someone tell me what part of the turkey is bacon.
@@schunter20 Not really important. It's just chopped turkey meat formed like bacon.
It's Facon.
Cast iron HOLDS heat better than anything, it's actually really crappy at CONDUCTING it. It's sort of infamous for having random hot and cold spots, which is why preheating is so important. Aluminum conducts heat well, but doesn't hold it at all.
ill do it my way, you do it your way! i load my cast iron with as much as it can hold and i put a lid on the pan and cook on high heat then flip it and turn the heat down
My #1 tip - do not overcook! Bacon should still be "wet & limp" not "crispy" when removing from pan. The bacon will continue to crisp up once removed from pan. If you keep in until "crispy" your bacon will come out overdone & burnt tasting. Also #2, afterwards I use the bacon grease to cook sliced (or cubed) potatoes & onions. Then if desired, crumble bacon & add to potato/onions (after you pat all down with paper towels to get rid of excess grease.)
I'm going to the grocery store to buy 100 pounds of bacon to make bacon jerky for the year.
@DAVE ADAM 👀🤣😂🤣
Liked for the morning quickie line
My grandma ALWAYS had a tub of bacon fat on the stove top. For years I thought she was crazy. Now, decades later, I know she was ahead of her time. I should have learned more from her!
Bacon fat for cooking has been around for thousands of years. Noah probably used it to lube the hinges on the Ark.
Bacon Grease for making a perfect Roux for Sausage Gravy recipe period, Thanks for sharing etc.
Damn straight!
I enjoyed the video and learned some things.
I am one who absolutely loves the smell of cooked bacon. When I was selling my house years ago, the realtor told me to cook bacon or bake a pie or some bread before she was going to show the house. She said cooking aromas gave a homey feel to the house. Must've worked, because the first people who looked at the house bought it.
How thick is that bacon that will stand up in a bowl?
Boiled bacon doesn't sound very appetizing. Seems like the water would take some flavor out of the bacon. Plus, even though you boil the water off, I am still imagining chewy bacon.
I cook my bacon on medium-low heat in a skillet, but it takes forever, so I am going to try the oven method.
For great scrambled eggs to go with that delicious crispy heavenly bacon...I start with a cold or barely warm skillet, then low & slow & just turn big portions as they cook instead of scrambling them around in the pan. You have to constantly turn large sections so the bottom doesn't overcook, but it's worth the effort. They're more fluffy this way.
Also...to enrich the yellow color, use a little evaporated milk in the egg mixture instead of regular milk. I use either evaporated milk or nothing. A friend of mine uses water. I prefer the evaporated milk because it keeps the eggs more yellow and seems to add a little richness and moisture. A chef friend told me that there are people who hate seeing black flecks of pepper in their eggs, but eggs need salt & pepper. His solution? He uses white pepper.
My grandkids got me into using tater tots instead of hashbrowns. They work nicely...always a lot of "crunchy" to go with the soft eggs.
Now I am hungry for breakfast at midnight! Or do I want a BLT? Both sound delicious. Bacon makes everything better!
I do the iron on the bacon when I cook it.
However I used to go to this breakfast shop in Douglas GA and they deep-fried thick cut bacon there. Amazing
I saw a meme that said "I want someone who looks at me the same way that I look at bacon."
I bake my bacon, crispy bacon mmmm
#Sharon Hill Yep, I'd rather bake my bacon and put my oven on self clean than use a bottle of windex to clean the range top, backsplash, counters, and floor from splattered grease.
We cure our own bacon, started on this because we got sick of shit bacon from the shop. We bake in the barbecue on a rack super tasty and crunchy rind 😋🥓
I bake my bacon using parchment paper and it always comes out evenly cooked and not shriveled up
I agree, the oven is the best way!
I bake at 400 on parchment paper, sprinkling each piece with ground black pepper and powdered ginger.
Right before the bacon is done, garlic powder is added,...if you add it too soon it will burn before the bacon is finished.
Learn when your "done window" arrives for your usual temperature,
(it is a very short window of time, when it looks close to done, shut your heat OFF)
....all bacon will still be cooking on thermal momentum alone,
that window is from the time you shut it off, until it is "your" perfect crispy.
Bacon can still be cooking on a sheet pan after you take it out of the oven, so promptly remove it onto paper towels,
or lay it in a non heated nonstick saute pan to stop the cooking.
Once you go too far,...that golden caramel crisp will taste burnt.
If the bacon looks like it needs more time in the oven, stay there and watch it to learn that timing,...
it turns from an undone fatty raw look, to crispy perfect just LIKE THAT,...that stage only lasts for a minute or so until it is ruined.
BE THERE, and enjoy your bacon.
So you basically don't like the taste of bacon, eh?
My husband seasons bacon with every spice we have in the cupboard... Cinnamon, allspice, granulated garlic, celery salt, etc. it's delicious and different every time... He just fries it slowly... It's divine. Esp. On blt's. Yum!
I cook it in the oven it turns out perfect and cooks evenly.
After trying the oven method I can't imagine doing it another way, less shrinkage, even cooking, no flipping, flat bacon that doesn't curl up, and I can get it perfect every time the way I like it which is fully cooked but just on the side before it gets crispy.
basically why i do air fryer. typically 8min@400f. no curling, no flipping, no watching.evenly cooked, automated.
Bacon: The candy of meats
Even better is candied bacon. I wasn't much on bacon til I made candied bacon then I was in hog heaven. Still seriously the cholesterol and sugar and salt and fats are enough to make this a once in a blue moon treat for the family
God's gift to us.
The bacon press! Yes! That's what I need. I love you. Thank you so much.
Hard to believe that you are the only one who knew this, very generous of you to share, however , I will continue to cook my bacon the way I want it in my no stick cast iron pan and save the day to use to fry other food.
Why, oh why would I want to eliminate the smell of bacon in my kitchen?!
That ending made my day. "Never add bacon, you ruin everything without bacon forever."
I want a hoodie with that on it.
It also depends on whether the bacon is dry or wet cured, dry cured tends to cook more evenly where if its wet cured you end up with white nitrate gloop oozing out of the bacon.
As for what to cook the back in try a Tefal Optigrill which is similar to a Forman grill which cooks the bacon on both sides at the same time.
A quickie first always, then breakfast.
Who lets bacon go in the freezer after cooking? mine wont last that long
Some people still put oil, before cooking even though the bacon already cooks in its own fat lol
Lol
English?? Do you speak it?
@@torqued666 his comment was fine. Just needs to move comma after "some people"
Mack V, Right you are, and bacon grease is healthier than cooking oil, and it gives a good flavor to what you're frying with it!
hey that's my secret to success -- the bacon starts frying before the fat gets rendered -- the bacon is cooked from the outside and the inside.
There's a popular nearby restaurant that will serve a pound of fried bacon -- it's deep fried -- you get a big pile of bacon on your plate -- restaurant is packed with customers. They go through tons of bacon each month.
I broil it for 20 minutes, on the middle shelf. Always perfect.
Me: cooks bacon using the water method as described in this video.
Takes a bite of the bacon when it is cooked to my liking...
Me: I have made a terrible mistake
cameron kinsey LOL!!! Cute answer❤️😆
Not if you love flavorless bacon, LOL!
I love a morning quickie!
that woman was disurbing
Gari
Disurbing ? Sounds creepy, but not frightening.
With a heavy bottom
Hi Jeff,.... me too and after that,.... a nice pan of bacon..... ;)
Bacon and a morning quickie. What could be better
Ummm that water thing I not sure about that one
I've tried it and it works as they say here.
@@grassroot011 oh wow ok
also use water when you want to make pork cracklings
I agree. Sounds like the method for cooking raw pork sausage. Bacon has enough water in it as it is, I don't think adding water would make it come out crispy, and it would take even longer to cook. Low and slow is the way to flavorful, crispy bacon.
The water evaporates and then the bacon crisps nicely. But she put a bit too much in the pan.
baking it in the oven is the best way ive ever found just finished some
i use my Emril air fryer pot. 4 min, perfect every time and no mess
the best bacon you'll ever eat is the oven cooked bacon.
"the biggest mistakes everyone makes when cooking bacon"
*proceeds to tell me boiled bacon is the best bacon*
My husband ‘boiled’ ours this morning and it was absolutely yummy without the gross after smell (well, it smells great for a few minutes, but then bacon is just too strong) this lets it fry for only a few minutes (after water is boiled out) try it
@Grim Reaper so, how did it go?
@Grim Reaper ?it is been week Yuo try?
@Grim Reaper oh alright no wurries
@Grim Reaper lppl
I'm starving now... Thanks😉
The biggest mistake people make is listening to a chef so everyone just enjoy the way you make your own food and enjoy bless you all ☮️😁
I will never ever cook my bacon in water. Other than that, great video.Thank you.
A thing NOT to do
Frying bacon naked. Ouch.
Sam Hancock lol I’ve often done this and I approve you message 😂
Sam Hancock
That gave me a good grin!
I've been cooking bacon for close to 50 years now, and if you know how to buy bacon, it doesn't really matter as much how it's cooked.
The water technique is really good. The bacon is cooked evenly to perfection a few minutes after the water evaporates and is very tasty. It even works in any pan type.
Bacon grease is like gold fry some potatoes and onions in it is delicious
Thats exactly what I do. I used BOILED potatoes from left over supper and I cut them and some onions garlic in bacon grease then at the last MINUTE I will sautés green onions for about a min or two then serve.
Here is how to make perfect bacon every time:
1. Use iron skillet only
2. Let bacon sit until it comes to room temp
3. Preheat skillet at low flame for about 7 min.
4. Put a ton of bacon grease into pan and let melt. You should have enough grease to cover the whole pan to about 1/4" deep.
5. Put the bacon strips (only two at a time) into the pan, press them down and hold them flat with a metal spatula while they cook and turn them every 30 secs until done.
6. Remove bacon from pan and place on a paper towel.
7. Poor out bacon grease and save for next time.
8. Serve the perfect, juicy bacon!
Another comment with excellent advice by nordattack. Can't beat cast iron over an open flame, for sure!
I use my toaster oven at a low temp. low and slow .Perfect every time
Thanks for joining me for a morning quickie. Is she talking about food!
Could anyone else smell bacon at some point whilst watching this video?
I'm sitting here cooking bacon on low heat just so I have a excuse to drink more.
No this is a man that thinks ahead.
bacon press. here in UK. I am using the old fashioned small hand iron that was heated on a stove then to press your shirt. just the job for Bacon press.
I use Danish thin rashers. Add them to a hot frying pan with no oil but a tiny splash of lemon juice and a little black pepper. I turn often until it is crispy enough for my family’s liking. I put them on a towel paper for a couple of minutes before serving. I sometimes do the same but under a grill.
That water method can go to hell
As soon as I saw that, I thought WTF!!
why would you boil bacon? or any other meat
@@dominicoconner1973 I think you guys are missing the fact that the water evaporates and the bacon fat renders off which allows it to cook in the bacon fat
Jordan 😂 hell yeah with gasoline on it!
@@djkaspikC yeah but why its perfectly good without it
The secret to making good bacon, is to just cook bacon. Keep cooking it and you’ll get better at it. No gimmicks are needed. I don’t do any tricks that they talk about and my bacon comes out better than any of the bacon they show
Always preferred sausage to bacon, but since being on keto for over a year, definitely coming around. 🥓
Cutting up into smaller pieces before cooking in the pan makes it faster and easier and you can get more in the pan that way.
I use a Nuwave Oven. It cooks up perfect every time and its on a rack so the grease drips to a pan.
Wait...Who has leftover Bacon to freeze??? Is that an actual thing? I have never heard of "Leftover Bacon".
Me either. I can't remember there ever being leftover bacon in my entire life LOL
0:15 A morning quickie sounds good to me, the video was interesting though and I love bacon.
Step 1: Build a campfire.
Step 2: Find a stick.
Step 3: Wrap bacon on end of stick.
Step 4: Hold bacon over campfire.
Step 5: Eat bacon when you can't wait one more second.
I have eaten badly prepared bacon about as many times as I have had a badly prepared Krispy Kreme glazed donut.
senorkaboom Great answer!!! Me too! NEVER!!! Yum!
This is so satisfying to watch!
Cast iron skillet, low-med heat, with a lid. Be patient, flip often, timing is everything. Enjoy.
Cook hash browns in the leftover grease.
Now I want a bacon sandwich. Just bacon and mayonnaise on bread.
Replace the mayo with homemade bacon-mayo, (www.closetcooking.com/baconnaise-aka-bacon-mayonnaise/,) you'll never go back.
Replace the mayo with hp brown sauce
Or a good spicy mustard like Koop’s Arizona Heat. Excellent sandwiches!
In the UK, we tend to have back bacon more which I believe may be called Canadian bacon the in the US. I’ve noticed recently suppliers have started making small cuts along the top of the bacon which helps it lie flatter and cook more evenly
Stovetop on temp 2 from cold or oven 305', preheated, with parchment paper. (ofc, stovvetop and oven temps will vary) Freshly ground pepper before cooking, sometimes Sriracha. Rest between paper towels but don't crush the strips. If they're crispy, you screwed up somewhere. It does take significantly longer but for my tastes, it's worth the wait.
Did they forget the lamb sauce
It's not lamb... it's pork.
*r/wooooshs himself*
why am I watching this at 2 am?
A. BACON 🥓. That is the only reason you need.🤤
Behold the power of BACON! Now go eat some BACON!
The same reason I'm watching at 4 am. Who knows what that is? I don't.
Cook it in the oven at 400*F. It'll be perfect between 16 and 20 minutes depending on thickness. And Wright is the best!!
I'll use bacon grease to fry more bacon with. If I have enough grease it's almost deep frying. I've found the low and slow works great. Cast iron is king, it's better for cooking meat/frying and easier clean up. I'll use a pot lid to cover or partly cover the pan if it starts to pop.
"Morning quickie"
Lol i love you! Your cooking that is
Cookie sheet in the oven. Comes out even and straight.
Been doing that for years. Best part is I don't get splattered with grease.
