There are four ways to accomplish cooked bacon.

Microwave
Flash fry in stove top pan at high heat
Slow fry in stove top pan at very low heat
Fry in oven pan at 370F

The science is compelling and unequivocal.

For flavorful bacon the best way is #3. There is no further need to discuss.

Moderators, please shut down this thread.

Actually, I like cooking it on the bbq grill.

I agree that the contact heat transfer of #3 is better, but not enough to overcome my laziness. Cook in the oven at 400F. Take mine and my daughters out when done to the correct amount, leave my wife and son's in another 2-3 minutes until crunchy (yuck).

Oven baked at 400°, depending on the thickness of the slice and the moisture content , 20 min to 25 min .
Done in perfection, crispy but not burnt.
Place on rack to cool and drain, prevent turning soggy.

BTW, we love the low sodium naturally cured Kirkland brand.

Moderators please reopen this thread, but censor any further comments that Blader makes about bacon. He has a bacon fetish that is altogether unhealthy.
