Cooking Bacon

[Michael]

We buy Kirkland pre-cooked because it's thicker than the other brands of pre-cooked that we've tried. Takes something like 30 seconds in the microwave. Surround it with a paper towel and there's no mess.

I've bought it a few times, and enjoy it.

Because it's pre-cooked, it only takes a few seconds in the toaster oven.

And because of that, and that bacon in the candy of meat, I don't get it often.

It's just too easy to cook a bunch of slices every time I pass through the kitchen.

I use Kirkland pre-cooked for breakfast egg-sandwiches. Tried sausage patties but didn’t like the taste. Cut open an English muffin, put a slice of cheese and two strips of the precooked bacon in the bottom part of the breakfast sandwich maker, egg whites and the top of the muffin in the top, and 5 minutes later I have my breakfast.

Doesn't the nuked bacon splatter?

Oven here

Raised on a rack for the grease to drip down, and maybe a paper towel covering to catch splatter?

Here is a way to make bacon even more 'not good for you' but it's bacon after all.

Chicken Fried Bacon.

The thicker the bacon the better.

Seasoned bread crumbs of choice of seasoning added. Dredge the bacon as you would in egg and breading then pan fry in oil of choice, it was suggested peanut oil to me, but I had olive oil.
Came out tasty, I'll do stuff like this a few times a year to experiment and have people try.

Disclaimer....I know the fat content in oil. I seldom have real Fried foods because of that. I will cook for myself or order when out non fried alternatives whenever possible. The oil I used in restaurant fryers were 1,100 calories per ounce. You know oil gets absorbed. For me, at home, everything is grilled, baked, or as I call it 'fake fried' in an air fryer.

The disclaimer is to hold back the OMG you will kill yourself responses.
