      If you put a little water in the pan with cold bacon it will steam for a bit and help render out the fat before it then deep-fries in that fat. To much water and you get whatever this is.

        Not even. You can totally submerge the bacon in a pan full of water. As you say, the fat renders out and you then fry it in that fat when the water all boils off.

        This is literally just boiling it and taking it out of the water like it’s fucking spaghetti or something.

        Y’all’ve seriously never tried grilling your bacon in the oven? The fat just melts off and leaves your bacon perfect. If you like it crispy, just leave it in for a bit longer.

          Yea, I use my air fryer for everything. Wife wanted bacon so I figured what the hell, put it on bake and it was the best bacon ever and all the fat poured right out crystal clear.

        Fried bacon fat is amazing…

        There is only one true way to cook bacon and it’s in a CI pan and in it’s own grease.

          In the oven is superior. You get an even cook and the rendered fat can be saved in the fridge for cooking later without all the charred bits that you get in a cast iron skillet.

            Charred bits? The hell, your CI pan shouldn’t have any charred bits in it. I like crispy bacon anyways.

    A pig died so that she could boil a part of it into shoe leather. Then you had to eat it. The things we do for sex…

    BF/GF2 should raise the bar on her, perfect opportunity to flex.

    Bacon should be cooked on a single layer in a pan preheated to medium high (about 2/3rds the dial) and flipped after some of the bacon has begun to shrink. Cover and reduce heat, remove from heat once the sizzling sound becomes quieter. The line between perfect bacon and overcooked perhaps slightly burnt is a number of seconds.

    For boiled eggs, heat the water to a Rolling Boil. Very important. Then carefully lower in the eggs with some utensils. Wet yoke but cooked whites is usually achieved after about 3 minutes. Fully cooked after 8 to 10 minutes. Rinse the eggs and set in cold water for at least 2 minutes. The egg shells should be able to peel completely off without missing pieces because we brought to water to boil before adding the eggs.

      Recipe is totally unusable, no preface about a trip to Rome and how you were feeling, nothing.

      Just straight up Recipe that’s ludicrous

      The line between perfect bacon and overcooked perhaps slightly burnt is a number of seconds.

      This is the biggest reason I bake bacon. I can bake nearly a pound of bacon in the time it takes to make the rest of breakfast and seconds don’t make the difference between perfect and burnt. You can dial that shit in to the perfect level of crispiness.

      Bacon spread out on a cooling rack set inside a sheet pan in a cold oven. Set to bake at 200°C or 400°F. After 20 minutes, check on it every 5 minutes until done to your liking. Thicker bacon takes longer obviously. Drain the grease and save for later cooking use.

      Your egg instructions are rediculous and don’t account for elevation. Using those instructions will not yield the same results everywhere

        I just fry my eggs in the bacon grease, same energy, probably not as healthy but it doesn’t look like a crime scene either.

        You’re saving 2c and wasting bacon… If you want to boil everything maybe pick foods that aren’t depressing when boiled.

          I think you meant to type “in this case, it is!” but your typey sticks got a bit wayward and hit the wrong buttons. Happy to help :)

        The amount of energy you (as a consumer) use is nominal in comparison to big corporations; especially the big corporate farms. So you might as well heat up a second pan to make the bacon, because you’re suffering unnecessarily for no gains.

        But make no mistake, what I said above is in no way a negative reflection on you or your future wife.

            You’re as bad as the chauffeur, who – directly after my wedding ceremony – said “You still have 24 hours to change your mind”. 🙄

                It’s my fault. I should’ve picked a different chauffeur when the first time I called them and said I was getting married, and his response was “oh, a standing funeral.” 🤦‍♂️

        Are we just ignoring the significant amount of energy it would take to get a pot of water up to a boil?

        I’d assume if you care about global warming you’d also avoid eating meat. Maybe more important for beef than bacon though. Anyway, I interrupted your chewing, please continue!
