fried bacon troubles.

Definitely, but there's ALWAYS more than you need unless you have a fat-craving pet.

You didn't nuke it long enough. I have a 1KW oven and gave it 10 seconds per strip, which crisps it up nicely. I thought it was really good.

have you every tried deep-fried bacon? Back when I worked at a burger place in high school, the cooks would try that every so often, because it's faster. It's really gross tho.

the flat up, and the >smell lasts for ages ! Any suggestions please; as to how to either get rid of the smell >once there or prevent it being too bad when he fries the bacon in the first place.

Move. ;-)

It's been coated with sugar....maybe brown sugar or corn syrup. You can sprinkle regular bacon with sugar and it comes out the same way. Less shrinkage, less spattering, and very nice salty/sweet taste.

Where my other half works they cook the bacon then leave it in bowl above the stove all day.. when someone orders a bacon burger they heat it up by deep frying it.

Dont forget who will be picking your nursing home.

The state will pick yours because, as with your entire life, they pay the tab. This happens when one has no job skills. Still smarting over the toilet cleaning job that canned you?

Joels "never" wrong, just loud and persistent

I agree. Greasy bacon is gross but I do get the itch to eat some once a month or so. That's why I suggested sieve draining the bacon while hot before packing. And putting them betweeen paper napkins when nuking so as to remove more grease.

Microwave it between paper towels and on a plate. Frying is better, but microwaving cuts down on the smoke and smell.

Yes, there is........

It's not bad if used in Sandwiches.

How safe is this around pet birds???

I'm surprised that no one has suggested bakin' it in the oven on a cookie sheet - the grease doesn't get hot enough to vaporize, and if you spread the slices on a cake cooking rack, they drain automatically

- make it as crisp as you like.

Yes that works - I've tried it.

My missus came home one day with microwavable bacon. Slices of bacon in plastic bags that just go in the microwave. They swell up like a pop-corn bag and the result is not too bad - though not as mouth- watering as bacon from a freshly sizzling frypan.

But it seems an expensive way of avoiding the smell.

thanks for all the responses. would you or anyone be able to give me the name or manufacturer of the above ' microwavable bacon dishes' since i am in london u.k. and may have to order one from the u.s. since i have not seen them here. many thanks

I suppose the bacon on the back of the pig is also pre-cooked.

Robert Morein says there is no such thing ....

This my sound crazy, but my sister says it works. Try toasting some marshmallows over the kitchen range. She told me that they found it out when her husband experimented with marshmallows in the microwave and burned them. It killed the smell they had lingering from when they had a skunk under the house.

Why crispy? Crispoid or crispish might be more to his taste. For my part, I prefer it really crisp, rather than approximately so. (I know it's a losing battle.)

Bacon cooked in a microwave oven can be made just as crisp as bacon cooked in a pan, with less odor and easier clean-up. Wrap the slices in paper towel, at least two layers below and one over, but more might reduce the odor in the kitchen.

When did you last replace the charcoal filter?

You're welcome.
