who /crispy/ here?
after much experimentation this week and despite preferring my meat on the rare side across the board, I have decided I am firmly on team crispy.
I want this shit so dried out its like a cracker
Bacon is supposed to be fried in it's own fat until crispy.
This new craze of baking it in the oven and thinking easier=better is ridiculous, not to mention yuros attempts at "bacon".

you can still bake it till it's crispy too
>yuros attempts at "bacon".
that's a different type and is completely valid as well

as my friend once said "after visiting america I always get excited when I see bacon on a menu, but then I remember it's just a slice of ham"

>"Can I get that bacon extra crispy?"
It's SO hard to order your food how you like it, am I right?
The problem with crispy is a lot of idiots wind up charring it and all you taste is the char. Perfect crisp bacon is the best, although I usually keep a bit of the fat on if I make it for myself since I like the bit of chewyness.

That's not a problem with "crispy". that's a problem with "Char", which is something different entirely.
Are you supposed to cook the entire package at once? There's always so much leftover

No, you cook however much you need.

Why is that a problem? Bacon keeps a long time and it has countless uses in the kitchen. Surely you can find something to use up the rest for:
Crumble and use to top salads or baked potatoes
Saute with vegetables
Wrap lean meats & then roast in the oven
Use to add flavor when cooking beans or other stewed dishes
I despise crispy bacon. I like american style bacon as chewy as possible. But still rendered out enough so there are no bits of rubbery fat. There is a very small window in the cooking process where I consider it perfect.
The texture I'm after is almost like beef jerky, and it's only possible with thick cut bacon.

I went to murrca once and was delighted to find bacon on the breakfast menu. Then instead of delicious, chewy, salty, tender meat, I was served a stick of salted charcoal.

what people call bacon varies all over europe. stop refering to it as one place.

This man gets it. Crispy rendered fat, juicy salty muscle with small patches of browning.
perfect bacon is within that 45 second period where the fat is rendered and it's all browned, right before it becomes a dessicated charred stick of disappointment
