It's not a difficult concept. Lets not get lost in minutia. Crispy = well done. Less than crispy = medium, rare. Tell your waiter/waitress which you want and (in theory) it'll be cooked that way - although - short order cooks are decidedly NOT chefs and can have a "one size feeds all" approach.

Norse65 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 My mother likes burnt bacon. When she orders in a restaurant she makes sure the waitress is looking right in her eye when she asks for “ burnt “ bacon. That look and her 91 years gets her burnt bacon every time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that there should be a way for you to tell me how you like your bacon so that you get what you want i.e. rare-well done for burgers or steaks. 50 minutes ago, VonKarman said: The problem with you yanks is that you cut the bacon way too thin (where I live we usually cut it with a 1/3" tickness). If you have a thicker cut you can have crispy bacon with meat inside that is not crisp. I don't disagree. That's the only problem though. Other than that were perfect.

vegas492 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I've been making bacon in my air fryer oven. Oh. My. God. Best bacon ever. Crispy, but not soaking in grease! Great. Now I have to buy bacon for the game tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachbuns Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Only thing better than bacon is more bacon. Just so it's not rubbery on my plate and going oink or be burnt and give me a carbon overload. The more the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I feel like making a pizza for the game tonight. Canadian bacon with pineapple. Red sauce. Fresh Mozz. Little dabs of whipped cream cheese. And...crispy bacon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, lunatics LOVE crispy bacon. May I also beat the drum for burnt cakes as well. Bow down to carbonisation, King Alfred the Great knew it, maybe that was why he was 'the Great'.

I got it....and while the "rare/medium/well" terminology isnt readily applied to cooking such things like bacon, hot dogs, sausage (and such) - I'm a believer in the spoken word and think a simple: "I'd like it......." would probably do the trick - until or course the short order cook gets the order and pushes it out like everybody else's chow LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because it's fallen out of favor (taste-wise) simply because its gotta have the highest fat content of any of the processed meats sold over the counter and I value the free-flowing arterial system I've developed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no.....freedom of choice is tops.....but that pairing removes the end product from the classification of "pizza."

But...it has to come with a little whipped cream cheese. It's pretty amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
