[Food] Best way, in your opinion, to cook back bacon for insertion into a sandwich.

[Herr Tubthumper]

Well? Is it grilling, frying or oven baking? And for the best bacon sandwich the fat has to crisp up a bit doesn’t it?

Always grilling for me and yes, definitely crispy fat.

I fry it but add no oil to the pan (get pan v hot first).....and yes, has be crispy. Streaky bacon cooks much crispier than back. Leave for a minute or two on kitchen roll after cooking to crisp up even more [emoji16]

oven baking is much underrated method for bacon, cleaner and less fuss. not sure about getting crispy, imo back bacon is overcooked to crisp up.

 

[Goldstone1976]

Frying. In a smidgen of oil. Med/high heat. Yes, the fat has to crisp up. Try Philip Warren (online) for some of the best bacon I’ve had. Excellent meat generally - suppliers to many starred restaurants - and surprisingly cheap.

Have a go at micowaving bacon - surprisingly good.

Just layer each slice between a sheet of paper towel.

Fat goes crispy, meat stays moist.

Always cook bacon on my gas BBQ on the top shelf so it’s a bit like oven baking I guess.
Cooking outside cuts down on the bacon smell In the house all day making me hungry

Heathen ! I bet you microwave boiled eggs as well?

 

[lawros left foot]

On a griddle.

I don’t like mine cooked too much, I’m not that keen on ‘crispy’ food.


Except roast potatoes, obviously.

I LOVE bacon, I just can't eat it....




















It brings me out in rashers!

You may not think it's funny but you'll never forget it and you'll use it yourself when the oppotunity arises.

Fried. In lard.

Well there's your first mistake. You don't insert, you layer

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Grilled - best method for ensuring correct crispiness IMO.

 

[El Presidente]

Fried on a griddle, then pour baked beans on top and cook the beans in the bacon fat until the tomato sauce in the beans has firmed. Pile onto sourdough and have a sex wee.

Two slices of bread, unbuttered, or two slices of buttered toast? Ketchup or no ketchup?

 

[Billy the Fish]

Best result is frying. Oven works well if I'm busy.

You can't do good bacon with shit pans as they lose too much heat and start boiling the bacon. Got to be a heavy bottom.

I add a small amount of oil, I know some people don't but I prefer the flavour. Very high heat to start with then turn it down to medium to get a decent crisp and give the fat time to render. Season with pepper, occasionally rosemary.

Grill

Juicy meat, crispy rind.

 

[vegster]

Grilling for me before insertion into a lightly toasted homemade granary sub roll with a squish of tomato sauce. Marvellous!!

Or the upgraded version, when in season, of the addition of sliced homegrown Cherry Tomato's and a few sprigs of Rocket and some mayo. Even more marvellous!

Bread no butter and no ketchup.

Or throw into bin, not to my taste.
