bacon,
i love you. you are delicious. i treat you with utmost respect by baking you in the over where you fry in your own grease, cooking perfectly through convection and never burning. upon retrieving your cooked deliciousness, i didn't treat you as gently as i should and i apologize, however, you have left me with a cool scar to remind me of our times together.

day 1:


day 7: no pics, but raw, open skin prime for an infection. keeping it covered and neosporin'd.

btw, it burned like hell for about 1 second then numb.

how could bacon (nature's candy) be so mean!

Lmfao, holy shit

The big burn in the middle even looks like a tiny sasquatch footprint

how did you manage that if you were cooking it in the oven???

Also this; did you cut a backflip once you grabbed the pan out the oven or something? Those are wayy up your arm

Marc G wrote:how did you manage that if you were cooking it in the oven???

well, you have to take it out of the oven to eat it, and when i did, a little mis-step holding the pan and bacon grease attack.

Wait, you cook bacon in the oven? Is this common and I'm just the fool that does it on the stove?

yes, common. perfect every time.

standard bacon thickness put bacon on a pan into a cold oven (do not preheat).

set to 400 degrees for 16 minutes, take it out, perfect. may need to adjust time depending on how you like it cooked.

it fries in its own grease, like a stove-top, but perfect consistency and the ability to cook a lot at once. crispy, delicious perfection, EVERY time.

it is almost sinful to cook it in a microwave just like it is almost sinful to put sugar in your cornbread.

Makes sense. I definitely don't put it in the microwave

a little mis-step? your oven is in your kitchen or in the middle of a minefield? lol... at any rate, that shit looks like it fuckin' hurts

Ow. OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW.

OW!

Bacon....mmmmm

Also, how do you wait 16 minutes for bacon? I'll risk the top of the stove I think.

Gawd DAMN! Nothing hurts worse than that initial shock-blast of a grease burn. That looks pretty spectacular. Once it's healed you should probably have a tattoo put in its place to commemorate the day you failed your bacon. With the date and the words "NEVER FORGET."

I put mine in a preheated oven and it works out fine IMO.... the best part of doing it in the over is you don't have to manage it, no flipping it over etc and it frees up space on your stove top. So once you get the temp and time sorted for your oven it's nice to put it in and deal with some thing else while it's cooking..

I was thinking the same thing.

When you cook bacon in the oven, do you cover it in foil?

You do know they sell bacon that's pre-cooked, right?

Right.

Are you a cop?

GTFO. Next you'll tell me we can just buy finished music and not bother to learn how to play it ourselves.

Good god man. Bacon wins again! Glad you're ok though, that could have been way worse, like on your face or in your eyes...

Pfffffffffft. Cook my bacon, then cook my eggs in the bacon grease. Attempt to not eat bacon until eggs are done.

Bacon. Hash brows in the bacon grease. Eggs in the little grease left after the hash brows are done. And try making it the near twenty minutes all that shit takes without eating the bacon.

I say get a tattoo of bacon over the impending scar.
