Why do you want to kill them? Much tastier when they're still wriggling :rolleyes:

[Guest mike-oh]

Grilly McGrill all the way for me!

Frying is nasty and evil and results in soggy bacon with strips of rubbery lard on the side. I spose you could fry the shite out of it and get it crispier but at least with grilling most of the bad stuff melts off.

[Guest mandt]

[Guest nevawlkalone]

Fried all the way, but gotta be crispy. Only Streaky will do for this. Get it crispy by putting a weight on top of it whilst it's frying...

No not the missus :) . I use an old fashioned heavy flat-iron. Lovely crispy golden rashers.

[Guest gvr]

Between grilled & fried?? Grilled every time

....but....and I know I'll get shunned for just saying this....

I tend to microwave it if I'm feeling particularly lazy

[Guest pookiecheeks]

That's one way to ruin it :) Has to nice and crispy

[Guest mcwarre]

If you microwave it for long enough it will go crispy :)

[Guest Confucious]

Nah- got to be fried to a crisp :)

[Guest Monolithix (MVP)]

Umm i didnt think you were supposed to microwave raw meat? :/

Fried for me btw, but never crispy. It has to be thick and juicy!

[Guest nickcornaglia]

I buy the packs that you microwave for 3 minutes. They come 4 strips in a pack (raw). You throw the whole pack in and cook. The bag they are in keeps them from splashing!

As far as frying which is the way I cook when I have alot....why do you use oil or fat? doesnt the bacon have enough? It just makes it's own juices to cook in.

While they are very quick and easy.. they do sort of poach the bacon in some sort of white liquid...

I'd rather fry... but I normally cook on a griddle pan with no extra fat

[Guest mavisdavis]

I fry my bacon in it own fat then chuck in slices of bananna in the fat n add them to the feat, (seen it on 5minuet meal at 3:30 am,just crawled in from a club n thought it sounded great) anyhow had it again in the afternoon when I woke and it tasted just as good then as it did pissed ;-)

I like it fried in a pan.. then covered in Pancake batter...

And then served with treacle...

[Guest Confucious]

Get pig to walk past candle then lie on plate betweem 2 pices of bread with marmite....

[Guest Christopher Woods]

If I'm having a big fry-up, I'll fry the bacon - otherwise it gets grilled cause I love crunchy rashers of bacon. Frying just makes them too greasy and salty without something like tomatoes or beans to offset it.

My vote just took it to 24 apiece - who'll be the one to tip the balance?

[Guest magic_peanuts]

Well it's now 26-24!

It has to be grilled. I grew up near a pig farm in Wiltshire so I can't have anything other than proper thick cut Wiltshire bacon, grilled to the exact point where it turns crispy on the outside but is still juicy inside. Serve at least 3 rashers in between doorstops of wholemeal bread thickly buttered. It doesn't need ketchup, mayo, mustard, HP, nothing. If it does, you over cooked it. Consume while hot with a huge mug of tea.

[Guest RyanPittman7]

Fry it. Then stomp on it 10 times.

[Guest Samuran]

I think that this question should have been do you prefer back, middle or streaky?

Even if it only confused our friends from the states... as far as I'm aware they only have streaky over there anyway... hah

That white liquid, thats the water, the fat and the rest of the crap that is injected into it when its produced all mixed up.... you get it if you fry bacon too..

I work for the company behind Danepak etc.

I grill.... till its crispy :)
