Guest The Doctor Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) Simple really, and quite random but its just a poll to see how most people cook their bacon. Also partly because grilled bacon is a pet hate of mine and i want to see how many of your are guilty of that crime :D FRIED BACON ALL THE WAY! :D Phil Edited September 14, 2006 by The Doctor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Samsonite Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Grilling is best! we used to george foreman it, but it took ages.. dried it out a treat tho!! :D if you need a slightly more moist sandwich, then slap in a nice fried egg.. all washed down with a bucket of tea!! the best breakfast on the planet! frying is a nice change but its too wet for me, it sits in its own juices and a fatty slice is more poached in its own artery-furring goodness than heated from below with a hint of fat...

Mmmmm, Tea. You can't beat it (makes no froth you see). :D :D BTW. Bacon grilled, every time. Just like milk, semi-skimmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner (MVP) Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Enen if you do fry it you have to use lard and not of this vegetable oil rubbish. If you don't use lard then you may as well grill it. I do it both ways depending if I am at home at on a scout camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't use lard then you may as well grill it. That's my man talking. Fry it every time in proper beef dripping. If you get frothy white stuff in the pan then you need to buy better bacon. Go see your local butcher. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mcwarre Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 Beef dripping eh??? Eh up whippet n all :D Lard is pig fat. The frothy white bit is the water (salted) they have injected to cure it quicker and to add to the weight to reduce their costs. Always look for 'traditionally (or dry) cured' - this means no water hence no frothy white stuff. Do you notice that 'normal' bacon shrinks significantly when cooked? (that's the water evaporating) but dry cured doesn't?? It is probably about 20% more expensive but it doesn't have 20% water............ BTW if you do get frothy white stuff, increase heat in pan else you will boil it rather than fry it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Disco Stu Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Beef dripping eh??? Eh up whippet n all :D If there's one thing me and t'whippet cannot abide it is tomato ketchup, or any other over-sweetened sauce. Sliced fresh tomatoes are preferred or perhaps some nice mushrooms. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nedge2k Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Has to be grilled and grilled until the fat turns yellow and crispy and the bacon is almost purple :D Best uses of bacon: Chicked, bacon (grilled first), garlic, herbs all fired up together. Bacon, lettuce and cherry tomatoes in a nice sarnie (bit of mayo, no butter or ketchup!) Bolognese or Lasagne with bacon. Grilled bacon, grilled black pudding, fried white bread, beans, mushrooms fried in butter :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest travisb Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Preferably cooked by someone else, like the one I'm eating from the sandwich shop right now :D . Actually I'm a griller, so guilty as charged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fraser Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I use bacon in my bolognese as well Nedge, along with half a pinch of cinnanmon (try it!). That's the only time I fry bacon, it's grilled crispy bacon for sandwitches, none that stretchy fat mess when you take a bite! Mmmm bacon tastes good...pork chops taste good...but a pig is still a dirty animal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest genaldar Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Fried and I personally love bacon with fried eggs and toast. Course I have eaten a plate or 10 of nothing but bacon in my life. My buddies and I even refer to it as "love", i.e. let's go get breakfast I'm in the mood for love.
