OK, here come some of my standard stupid questions-- 1) How do you guys cook it?? It's messy, it's stinky.. Some people cook it in the oven, I think?? I like my bacon CRISP.. (Eric says, 'burnt'...) 2) Once it's cooked, how long can you keep it in the fridge?? What about cooking strips and putting in the freezer? Or, of course, crumbles. I would think that would be easiest to freeze? 3) And, was having a hankering for spaghetti carbonara.. Have never cooked it myself. Anyone have a good, fairly easy recipe??

I always cook the whole pound, fry it, use what I want and put the rest in the fridge. Just looking to see what other methods people use to cook it..

Fry it... when I worked as a cook, we always half cooked it in the oven (actually the broiler), like 20#'s at a time... then deep fried it the rest of the way, for individual portions... Heart Attack waiting to happen! BUT, that was 35+ years ago... we always fry the whole pound now (crispy), and use leftovers for BLT's the next day...

I had one of those, maybe 20 years ago, threw it away. Maybe I should go buy another one..

How ever you prefer to cook your bacon... ONCE IT IS COOKED... Put it in a freezer zip lock bag and stick it in the freezer. Pull out what you need and microwave for about 20 seconds (depending on your microwave). Yummy!

On week-ends at the cottage we always place the bacon on a cast iron grill and cook it on the barbeque. it is delicious and cooks as crisp as you would like it. Then we drain most of the grease off and fry the eggs on the same grill. At home, I usually cook the bacon on a flat electric grill or use a frying pan. Leftovers keep well in the fridge and can be reheated in the microwave for a minute or so.

mmmmm, I love bacon! I prefer pepper bacon but also am a big fan of maple bacon. MJ cooks it on a flat pancake grill, but in limited portions. Simple reason, if you cook a pound I will eat what ever is not already consumed by MJ or others.
Now I am craving buttermilk pancakes with pepper bacon, served with a Bloody Mary of course. T
I prefer the Isle seat

I never fry bacon anymore. Line a cookie sheet with foil. Put bacon on wire rack. Bake 425 for about 20 minutes- watch it as ovens and tastes are different.

Do you substitute bacon grease for the butter in your nuts and bolts?

Not quite so heart healthy, but OH SO GOOD! It's a twice a year treat... it's always been a family tradition on Christmas Morning!

Anonymous said: Do you substitute bacon grease for the butter in your nuts and bolts? use both, I'd have to go find my recipe for exact measurements. One thing I have noticed is over the years the bacon flavor has been greatly reduce, guess their not making bacon like they used too. Susan
