At 3:42 Chef John says, "And right here you can see the classic recommended layering; it's always lettuce first, then bacon, then tomato."

* Ugh. Tried to get the video to start at 3m42s but couldn't get it to work. Tips on that? I checked the "Start at" box and input 3:42 on YouTube but no success. WTF is up with that?

i heard about baking bacon only a few years ago and now the only time i cook it in a pan is if i want the drippings for some reason...it really is the superior method.

Agreed, unless you're just making bacon to be eaten as bacon, making it in the oven is superior.

is this a challenge? please post a video of cooking bacon in a pan and bacon in the oven and we'll be the judge of the best bacon.

relevant to this topic, spouse and I cooked four strips of thick pepper bacon in the oven tonite and they were perfect.

My strategy for the last several years with bacon has been to bake it in the oven at 410, flip it half way through. Works flawlessly.

But like gobbo said, if I was making a thick cut bacon to eat on it's own as a meal then I would baby it in a pan.

Someone in here posted links to a TV show about Chinese cuisine some time ago. Wanted to watch it now but can't find the post. If someone still has the link I would appreciate it if you would repost it.

Thanks guys. It wasn't either of those. I think it was actually a Chinese TV show I think it was dubbed or maybe subbed. Am I imaging this? I am sure it must have been in this thread.

Bump back to the front page.

Went on a meat binge yesterday.

Bit blurry, but got some cow from a local farmer.



Also went to the Chinese supermarket, and got big bags of chicken feet and chicken wings, and some pork legs and belly, to make a big stock. Roasted it all with some veg, then stuck it in a big stock pot.

8 hours in and it looks like something a serial killer would rustle up. Will let it reduce down some more, then sieve, and strain through muslin. By the end it's pretty much completely solid and can be cut up and frozen.

I'd never ever heard of baked bacon before, so I gave this a shot. Came out a bit overdone, but I'm sure if I reduce the cooking time from 25min to 15-20 it would be perfect. Does a great job of draining away all the grease.

Most restaurants I've worked in bake their bacon. It's the best way to do it consistently at mass. In this one restaurant, we had these huge bakers ovens. One baking rack held 12 slices of bacon and you could go four racks per row with 16 columns. That would end up being a few large boxes enough for an entire day.

Baked bacon is the nuts. Putting foil down in the pan your baking in, thus no cleanup, is also the great. I have to buy the extra wide foil, but it's well worth it.

I've been on #teambakon for a while now. The only way to fly really. Easy to save bacon grease too.

Made some meatballs today and figured i would try to sous vide the taters to it. Probably the best potatoes ive ever had. Perfect consistency and since i made them with butter and dill they tasted amazing.
