Djgb13 2,338 Posted June 12, 2018 What kind of bacon do you like to buy? How do you like it? Crispy and crunchy or a little softer? Applewood, cherrywood, maple, etc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sho Nuff 720 Posted June 12, 2018 Peppered bacon. Would prefer form a good butcher or meat market but those are quite pricy here (much more plentiful and reasonably priced in Wisconsin). Kroger has actually had some good thick cut bacon in the meat counter. Crisp but not burnt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,656 Posted June 12, 2018 By and large, I have found that women prefer burned crispy bacon. Which has all the taste of licking an ashtray that once housed a greasy pork chop. Men, real men that is, know the bacon should be chewy. So you can fully enjoy the flavor of the bacony goodness. Otherwise, just grab yourself a 10 of bacon flavored Pringles. You suck.

Cruzer 1,993 Posted June 12, 2018 Great point...baking >>>> pan frying. I pop it in the oven as I jump in the shower - cooks while I get ready. Great time saver on top of being easy clean up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iam90sbaby 2,134 Posted June 12, 2018 Baked thick cut with a load of black pepper. Only way to have bacon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,656 Posted June 12, 2018 Great point...baking >>>> pan frying. Agreed. Won't use the frying pan for that again most likely. If I have just a couple slices? Microwave. But microwave sucks at cooking significant quantities of bacon. And the oven is perfect for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,993 Posted June 12, 2018 Chewy is the only way to go. My grandpa liked his this way - I couldn't stand it, tasted wrong. The only time bacon should be like this is after cooking in a pot of Charro beans for 3 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kanil 519 Posted June 12, 2018 Flavor depends on what else I'm having. If it's sweet, I go peppered bacon. If it's savory, I go maple. Kroger also has a really good green chile rubbed bacon they sell seasonally that is amazing. As for cook, I sous vide (think slow cook) thick cuts for 12ish hours then thrown them on a hot griddle for around 30 seconds a side. Crisp on the outside but tender on the inside.

5-Points 2,746 Posted June 12, 2018 Get ours from the butcher shop around the corner. Baked is the way to go and it's gotta be a little crispy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
