How do you cook bacon? [SERIOUSLY]

[Patrick]

I've never cooked anything in my life and I wanna like, try and make bacon.

I don't know where to start though. How long does it take? How do you actually do it? Like can you do it in the oven - cus I don't want to fry it :yuk:

Need urgent replies. I'm going to die of hunger.

[Niamh.]

lol grill it if you don't want to fry it, don't put it in the oven

[Patrick]

lol grill it if you don't want to fry it, don't put it in the oven

how long for? </3

This.

Medium heat under the grill for about 10-15 minutes turning once or until it's crisp enough to your taste.

Difficult question. If you're not very familiar with cooking I wouldn't start with Bacon. It needs too much attention.

Try grilling it till you start to smell it slightly burning. LOL At that point it should be just overcooked. Otherwise I think you'll under cook it which is quite dangerous with Bacon.

[Kyle]

Apparently there's a quick technique you can use with a microwave and one of those plates that retains moisture but the bacon stays soft and I wasn't sure if it was cooked right when I tried it once.

I am still here though haha.

about 10 minutes don't forget to turn it

I am still here though haha.This is good advice. Microwaving it wont under cook it if you leave it in for long enough.. :thumbs:

Just stick it under the grill and check it every few mins. Keep turning it over.

I don't want to advise it though because it's been that long ago and it was still very soft. I don't want to end up being responsible for someone being food poisoned. :joker:

[Niamh.]

bacon is dead easy to cook, don't know what's up with you men lol

[Kyle]

Oi! I hope you give yourself an infranction for that blatant inflammatory comment!!! ;)

[Vicky.]

Dont think Bacons too likely to poison you anyway if its a bit undercooked. Everytime I get a breakfast from a restaurant it seems to be not crispy and I have never been ill.

Ah ok, just can't be too careful nowadays though I guess.

..if you have one of those toasted sandwich makers, you can just put it in there for around 5 minutes as well Patrick...

[Verbal]

Put it under the grill for 5 mins or so, no need to turn it I never have

Got a george foreman grill? Put it in for 10 mins

..I just use a normal sandwich maker..do you have one of those Vicky..?...

[Jesus.]

Get it in the oven and just keep checking and turning it, and I promise you'll be golden. I presume you only want a bacon sandwich? If you want it as part of a meal then fry it. You'll set your house on fire if you don't know what you're doing with bacon under the grill.

[arista]

There is a MicroWave special tray
perfect for Pat

Nope :(

[GiRTh]

I've got one but its so old everything sticks to it.

[Patrick]

Thank you guys :love:

[Ammi]

Nope :(


..ahh ok lol..I think there's only one thing to do then, you have to steal your parent's George Foreman...(I nearly typed George Formby for some reason and I think he played a ukulele or something..not the greatest thing to cook bacon on..)...

No idea lol, and to be honest I wouldn't have known about George Formby if it wasn't for my damn mother playing his songs every morning whilst doing the housework haha :joker:

Ammi I can't stop laughing at that George Formby post :laugh:!

Patrick why don't you want to fry it? It's the easiest way. The main thing about cooking bacon, however you choose to do it, is to keep it turning. I don't like my bacon crispy, I just wait until it firms up a bit and shrinks in size and that's me.

I genuinely never turn bacon. I just put it under the grill for 5 mins and then consume.

Basically this, you can't go wrong.

I wouldn't fry it..
