Has anyone ever tried that pre-cooked bacon stuff?

[dolo amber]

I don't ever make bacon because it's a pain, so I was wondering if the pre-cooked is any good? Anyone? :hi:

1. I microwave bacon between 2 sheest of paper towels

I learned that in France

[dolo amber]

7. I can't ever get micro-bacon to turn out right

Perhaps I'm cured-meat-productally challenged. :(

15. I'm pretty sure

it's a curse from your Jewish ancestors. :7

16. !!

D'oh! :yoiks:

2. I'm sure it's fine.........if you want to pay $55/lb for freakin' bacon.

That stuff ain't cheap.

5. I LOVE your avatar

:D

I hadn't priced it or anything, it only occurred to me it existed a few days ago. I mean, I've seen it in the store for ages, but the idea that I might actually PURCHASE some just caught up with me. :dunce:

[WeRQ4U]

22. Hey Thanks.

I used to use that as my avatar before, but I replaced it recently with something else for the holidays. The thread about classic cartoon characters reminded me to put it back.

3. we like it

[dolo amber]

14. I s'pose I shall

See post 5. :D

4. It's o.k. when you

are pressed for time. But, I'd rather have regular.

6. Don't like makin' bacon?

But I thought you were from Kentucky?

[dolo amber]

9. I don't even know what that means

:cry:

12. I like makin' bacon on the beach

Mmmmm....bacon

8. We get it for our daughter. One of the few meats she will eat.

That way we don't have to fix a whole package. My wife and I don't eat much (health and indigestion reasons). Stuff does not taste bad, but not as good as freshly cooked bacon.

10. I use a "makin bacon" machine for the microwave

Which works pretty well. Not perfect, but it works.

11. Isn't that the thing some 11 yr old girl invented

and subsequently made a katrillion dollars from? I think she was a gymnast or something and got the idea from the uneven parallel bars. :D

[DS1]

13. I wasn't so much the uneven bars, it's was her fat little thighs

spinning around them


:hide:

[dolo amber]

17. HA!

:D :spank:

[RandomKoolzip]

18. No, it's awful.

If you can find Nueske Brand bacon, their applewood-smoked veriety bacon is EXCELLENT, if a bit pricey. A few minutes in the oven (DON'T PAN_FRY IT!) and you've got yourself a porkparty, my friend.

You can order it fom Amazon.com, believe it or don't.

19. Oven?

You say the silliest things... :D

Actually, I've seen Alton Brown do the oven thing but it kinda worries me. Like, wouldn't all the splattering be a fire hazard?

[RandomKoolzip]

20. Not at all. It doesn't splatter that much.

In fact, there's more of a hazard frying bacon on the stove top, since there's an actual opne flame (if you use gas, that is) directly underneath the pan. Plus most people frybacon at far too high a temperature.

Twenty minutes at 350 degrees should yield some FANTASTIC bacon. I should know, we use this brand at the Hopleaf. I'll never eat "regular" bacon again.

[madinmaryland]

21. I do it in the oven all the time.

Just be careful taking it out. Bacon comes out a lot tastier and more evenly crisp.

23. The Costco brand is pretty good

got more "bite" than the regular. It's good for weekday morning rushes.....I like something better on the weekends though
