In the air fryer these days crisps the fat up lovely

Cut off rind, which gets put into the skillet and melts over a slow heat. Then put rashers on and turn up heat.

Turn off when rashers done to your satisfaction (in my case slightly browned but not crisp)

Inset into buttered bap with HP sauce. Job almost done but a cup of tea completes the project.

Hob mainly. BBQ on late warm evenings for a nice midnight bacon roll with a good old pint

Grill. It's got to be back bacon for me, others might say streaky...I'm sure there is a difference for cooking purposes

+1 for air-fried bacon. Helps contain the smell too

Grill is easier to clean than the air fryer. And who on earth would want to contain the smell of cooking bacon

Bacon medallions under the grill

Used to be the grill, now the air fryer every time.

Microwave the only way

I can't get back bacon here so just getting into making my own smoked and unsmoked bacon. Experimenting with different wood types now.
I have an air fryer but prefer pan cooked to get it just before crispy.

How I like it

Air fryer - it’s the only way now.

 

[pasty]

Streaky. Grilled to within an inch of its life. Bacon sarnies should crunch.

My air fryer tray goes straight into the dishwasher. As for the smell, bacon odour has a habit of hanging around a bit longer than welcome, IMO.

Frying pan

 

[ManOnTheRun]

It’s the Air Fryer these days. Nice and crispy.

As a Jew married to a Muslim the answer is obvious - in the air fryer. However, my daughter thinks it's sacrilege to use the air fryer so fries itin a pan. My youngest is a veggie so air fries fake bacon, that's oversized Frazzles at best.

Ninja dual air fryer. Best bacon i've ever tasted
