Learn to use, either a frypan or cook it in the oven. Plus, no oil needed in the oven. Personally honeyed lardons and corn soup is bloody delicious. Or the best of the best, bacon and egg and salad burger. Its got fat, protein, carbohydrate and vegies. All good, but no microwave cookery. |

at the fancy food show in NYC we discovered this new product, Bacon Salt™: everything should taste like bacon.
OMFG!!! It's very tasty and tates like bacon. Quote:

I cook my bacon using the oven but always use the broiler rather than the oven settings. I like to keep the bacon elevated from the fat to keep it a little less greasy. I have never been too fond of the greasy odor that seems to permeate the air endlessly after preparing it and have found that this is resolved much more easily using the broiler. Generally I would get my bacon from the deli counter rather than those plastic package with the window. Better quality, the price really is not so bad and they cut the thickness to your liking. Regardless, I do not have it very often though this time of year with the fresh tomatoes from the farmers market. I just love BLTs, to me there simply could not be a better combination than a fresh juicy slice of tomato, crisp bacon, crisp lettuce on a nicely toasted bread.

I just toss a slice or two of bacon into a big pan that already has some hashbrowns cooking in it already seasoned and mostly cooked then when the bacon is part way cooked i throw in a egg to cook over easy in the same big pan. sure the grease gets in the egg and the hashbrowns but its all part of the flavor. toss some italian seasoning over the hashbrowns and a little hot sauce over the egg along with some lightly toasted buttered bread and im set for a day. Not healthy but... its so worth it to have a really good breakfast every now and then.
If not that a couple slices pan fried till nice and crispy then tossed on sour dough bread with some turkey lettace tomato and mayo. hell of a good sandwich. If only someone could come up with healthy bacon and healthy peanut butter M&Ms.... oh what a wonderful world that would be. think i need to give that baconsalt stuff a try Last edited by Plaid13; 08-15-2008 at 08:55 PM.. |

Not commonly known except to a few baconator physicists, Einstein actually postulated a parallel bacon universe...which I am still searching for
this is in our physics lab, performing a government funded experiment searching for the bacon universe, a possible unlimited source of free alternative energy, or if not, at least it tastes good |

Oh, we do have a bacon thread?
Thanks for bumping this back up people. I'll be back later with more greasy fat strips and tips.

I am miffed at myself. I thought I had already responded to this thread on it's inception, so I haven't further every time it's been resurrected. Shame on me, apparently I didn't (don't know why I scanned through the pages this time...).
I've said before that I think Bacon, Potatoes and Eggs are the world's perfect foods. I guess it wouldn't be a surprise that if I were on death row and requesting a last meal, it would be a full spread breakfast. One of my absolute favorite ways to shove bacon down my gullet is the typical appy of rolling whole chestnuts in brown sugar, wrapping with a half strip of bacon, toothpicken' em and broiling for a bit until the bacon's crispy. Cyn posted about Birch Run here in Michigan, I've been there a handfull of times and didn't know this bacon creature existed there. I couldn't possibly eat the thing but I find myself pulled towards it on my next visit. For some reason, that play-doh bacon strip makes me think of Towely from South Park. "Hidey ho"!

Oh wow, this thread is still going!
I just wanted to add my love of "bacon bits". I don't know if there's actual bacon in them, but they are like breadcrumbs, taste bacon-ny and are amazing on top of salad. Or pasta. Or anything I suppose... ice cream?! |

The Bacone
Kansas City - Fat City - The Bacone! Plus: There's a BaconCamp? The Bacone! Plus: There's a BaconCamp? By Owen Morris in On the Web Tuesday, Apr. 28 2009 @ 11:30AM I present to you the Bacon Explosion's rightful heir. the Bacone! The Bacone is a cone made from (what else?) bacon and filled with scrambled eggs, cheese and sausage gravy and topped with a homemade biscuit. It's like an entire Old Country Buffet plate wrapped up into a cone! The Bacone was entered into what is the greatest contest of all time, BaconCamp, a series of contests for bacon enthusiasts in different cities. (Neither Kansas City nor any other Midwest cities are currently lined up to hold BaconCamps. This needs to be rectified immediately.) The Bacone was introduced at the San Francisco event and went on to blow away the judges. Dare I say its premiere is the culinary equivalent of Stravinisky's "Rite of Spring." Here's what one judge had to say: "At first I was thinking this was going to be difficult to handle, hard to eat, etc. But it wasn't. It was perfectly formed and super easy to eat... I'll say what I said then that I believe now: McDonald's should be selling this thing." Best of all, it is easy to make -- sort of. The one difficult part of the Bacone is the cone. But as these instructions explain, it's simply a matter of finding a strainer and some aluminum foil. After that, you just fill the cone with your choice of goodness. *One personal cooking note: The Bacone instructions show the bacon being fried. If you don't have a fryer, fear not. A normal oven should work fine (though a convection oven would be better), set at 400 to 425 degrees. Also, remember to use high-quality bacon. Lower-quality bacon contains more fat, which shrivels into nothingness and leaves you with straggly pieces of warped bacon instead of the desired cone.

But here's some bacon news... Bacon flavored Beer. Quote:

And if beer's simply not your thing, how about a bacon martini?
Lightly mist martini glass with vermouth, and rim the edge with bacon grease. In a cocktail shaker, mix 3oz vodka, one dash tobasco, and one dash olive juice. Shake well and strain into cocktail glass. Skim excess bacon grease from surface of cocktail. Garnish with one slice of bacon. I dunno if I could handle that. Who's gonna report back in with a review?

I was on Atkins and had bacon up to twice a day for a looooong time (I was a bit scared to go off it). I feel a lot cleaner when I eat vegetarian meals, but I'll still have it in Caesar salads. I'm very curious about bacon salt, though. And veggie bacon, tofu is nice but has the whole world gone topsy turvy?

I just tried the Bacon Explosion and it was impressive. Everybody at the party thought I was a bit crazy when I brought it out, but it was really popular. Definitely better with booze and really something that shouldn't be had for breakfast before you go go-kart racing. (lucky I didn't blow chunks in my helmet)
