How do you cook your bacon?

I've always cooked my bacon in a frying pan but recently, I found a new way to cook bacon. Now not only is this way, better, cause you get nice crisp bacon out of the deal, but you can cook like 4 times more than you usualy could on a frying pan. I'm sure some of you have probably seen this before but I kinda laughed when I first saw it (last week) cause it had never occured to me to try it.

A cookie sheet (or pizza pan) in an oven. You just lay the bacon on the cookie sheet, pop in the oven, cook and the bacon comes out much more crispy than if you did it in a frying pan without burning it!

Plus if you're cooking egg's or anything else that needs a frying pan it free's one up for ya. Anyhow, I just thought I'd share this, incredibly useful bachelor information for other fellow bachelors that like bacon & egg's in the morning. Cause I know I used to hate having two frying pan's on the go, or trying to cook egg's after making bacon in the pan etc etc... :icon25:

It's awsome, there's so much use for that oven I never really thought of. Like bacon wrapped Pork Chopps. Just wrap bacon around a pork chop, pop some toothpicks in there to keep the bacon on the pork chops, cook it in the oven and they taste awsome. A little fatning but awsome nonetheless.

Glad I'm not the only one for once. :) I thought it was neat when I saw it and the bacon really does come out good too.

It is the Broodwich. Forged in darkness from wheat harvested in hell's half acre. Baked by Beelzebub. Slathered with mayonnaise beaten from the evil eggs of dark chicken force-fed to dogs by the hands of a one eyed mad man. Cheese boiled from the rancid teat of fanged cow. Layered with 666 separate meats from an animal, which has maggots for blood.

-I tasted mustard.

Yeah... Jijon mustard.

-Well... how come no bacon?

BACON IS EXTRA!

-You call this sandwich and you dont have bacon on it!?

There are no swine evil enough to sacrifice upon a bed of evil.....and lettuce......evil and lettuce!

I prefer my bacon chewy and I use a George Forman grill. Crisp bacon is nasty to me for some reason. :shrug:
