Cooking regular bacon

blakeas · June 2015

since cooking bacon really stinks up the house (the wife says). Was wondering about cooking regular bacon. Not making bacon from bellies but cooking bacon that comes from the store on the egg. Suggestions? do I need a fryer dish?

CI pan, skillet or griddle.

Have you ever done it in the oven? Baking pan with a wire rack and lay bacon over the rack set at 350℉-375℉. Can do the same in the egg if desired.

This worked just fine for me.

Totally agree, I only make bacon in the oven, put in on parchment paper on a cookie sheet, works real well!

@YYZegger That's how most restaurants do it unless it's short order on a flat top grille. Less mess and it's much faster.

so parchment paper or wire rack? and how long in oven at 350 to 375?

Direct like Chilly showed works great too. Only thing is if you do a lot it will really smoke due to all the bacon fat hitting the hot coals.

Raw bacon is the only bad bacon

I line a cookie sheet with foil, lay the bacon flat and set oven to 425f. I don't wait for it to preheat. Shortly after reaching temp it is usually done.

did the bacon on the egg - turned out real well!

did the pig candy bacon and could not find the hefty cookie pan that the nakedwhiz recommended. actually I still cant find it. Had to bend an old throw away pan. any recommendations on something that will fit on the egg so I can do the elevated tray as the nakedwhiz recommends?

I think the whiz is using the disposable grill toppers and bends those. I think any pan under should work. I typically just use a disposable 1/2 steam table pan and set a rack on top of that. I happen to have a shallow roasting rack that works well instead of the disposable topper.
