Perfect .... Full English. scrummy

Quite possibly the PERFECT breakfast food?



That's one of those things that makes you say; "How come no one ever thought of that before?"

On another note, I think I need to clarify "crispy" vs. "chewy".
"Crispy" to me means that it's cooked so thoroughly that it crumbles when you touch it.
"Chewy", on the other hand, doesn't mean there are raw spots in it. It simply means that it's fully cooked, but not to the point of being "crispy".

I like to run my bacon down... and cook it before it's dead. The fresher the better. On a good day I can herd my bacon through a wheat crop, tomato field, and lettuce patch and count on all those crops panicking and producing the ultimate fresh BLT.

Then I wake up and go to Arbies

Baking bacon works the best. Frying makes a big mess. Food Network strikes again

Shallow baking pan, line with single sheet of aluminum foil, spread bacon slices out flat, bake at 375 degrees for 5-8 minutes, turn over, bake until doneness meets requirements.

A big flat pan with extra wide foil works best. I use a 12x18 pan. Fold up the sides of the foil to keep the spatter vertical.

I read somewhere that the nitrosamines that are bad for you come from exceeding 400 degrees when cooking bacon. Can't find it now.

What's the "stirred method"?


Dump the whole elbow(pack) of bacon in a large pan and stir it as it cooks...usually results in very chewy bacon. I love it but cant bring myself to cook bacon like that...I lay it out and turn it....go for semi chewy, not crispy.

I hope you are asking to gain knowlage and not just being a prick because of spelling ;)

While the whole pack of bacon is still frozen, I stand it on its
side (long edge) and slice it into 3 sections. As it fries, it separates the strips, but they are shorter and easier to stir.

I have found that you might as well cook the whole pack
because any leftovers become tasty lunch sandwiches or
walking-around-the-house snacks.
