Does it make any of you wonder if they learned the first bit of wisdom by experience? And then wonder what kind of stupid you would have to be in order to try that particular task naked?

Makes me think of a scary thought I saw somewhere recently - "imagine how stupid the average person is, then think about the fact that 50% if people are even dumber than them" and no - I don't think everyone is stupid but I did think this was funny.

And Happy - I always fry fresh bacon on a griddle - fully dressed.

There's no contest between real bacon and the paper thin stuff that's pre-cooked. It's worth the weight wait.

One out of three people are mentally disturbed in some fashion. So the next time you are in an elevator with 3 people, check the other two out. If they seem ok, you're it! grin

Oh, and to keep in the spirit of the thread....yes, I learned the hard way about bacon. Who knew?!??

Stale bacon? You don't want to know...

And I am very comfortable with my mental instability :-)

no griddles and definitely no microwaves allowed - a cast iron skillet is the ONLY way to fry bacon! grin

My mom does the cast iron. I do a griddle to get the grease off the pan while cooking.

On a related note, my dad then cooks the eggs (deep fries them basically) in the pan full of bacon grease. We call them "baconeggs" and they will ensure there will be no issues with constipation for the next week...I have not had them in years, thank goodness!!

The best part about pan frying the bacon is the resulting jar of bacon grease to keep in the fridge for use in other recipes.

I'm with Peepers - I now bake our bacon. It's evenly cooked and doesn't splatter.

I fry it in the skillet. Skittles, about how long does it take to bake? BQ, I didn't use all the bacon grease, but I used to leave a thin layer in the skillet to fry the eggs with.

I bake it on 350 for about 20-25 minutes on a broiler pan (so the grease drips down. We like ours extra crispy.

I do that too sometimes, but when my dad does it, if there isn't enough grease to cover the egg he takes a spoon and pours the grease on top of them. Truly - it is just way too much.

I move a couple spoonfuls of the bacon grease to a clean skillet to fry the eggs.

BQ, do you have any stents? There's got to be an artery somewhere that's clogged.

I know!! My parents are both on medication - much based on their intake of food such as that. Thank goodness I moved away when I turned 18 and I am a healthy food fan. I love bacon, but cook it on a griddle while draining the grease the whole time. I have fruit and yogurt most mornings in smoothie format - my parents - well let's just say I am buying their home this year because their health isn't the greatest and we are hoping for the best and planning for the worst. They see no need to change from the daily'baconegg' lifestyle.
