I cook them in the pan to use the rendered fat to cook my eggs in. It is also faster than cooking them in the oven.

Oven cooking is superior apart from the time it takes. Pan cooking is more convenient.

Cooking bacon in an oven is a reddit meme.

>>13477266
George Foreman grill is the fastest

cooking it in the microwave is best

How long does it take to cook it in the oven? Must be like 25 minutes? That's not worth it.

oven-bacon has a more flat and evenly cooked consistency. I prefer it over frying, if I have the time to wait for an oven to pre-heat. If I'm only cooking for myself, I might sling a slice or two into a fry pan just to be quick.

>>13477266
covered in rock salt and deep fried is the only way

>>13477266
Oven bacon is better, but pan bacon is more convenient. I'm usually too impatient for the oven.

>>13477266
I prefer mine grilled (broiled for the yanks)

>>13477556
You call using an oven broiler "grilling"? Grilling should only refer to using a grill.

>>13477556
grilling is when the heat source is below.
broiling is when the heat source is above.

>>13477266
Oven with parchment paper for the masses, pan personal usage. I personally like my bacon just a touch chewy.

>>13477914
Just ignore the bongs. Every country on the planet has expunged their presence for good reason. They're clinically fucking stupid.

>>13477914
In bongland "grill" originally meant a special broiling compartment inside "home cookers" like pic related. The slot with the pan inside of it here is the "grill".

>>13477266
microwave bacon is the best. Cooks perfectly and quickly. No blackened shit and you get the grease faster to fry your eggs in

>>13477283
Why are you so obsessed with reddit?
I worked in a restaurant for 2 years, and the prep cook always started their shift with 12 baking sheets of bacon. After that, it was cooked on the flattop by the grill cooks.

OOOH THAT MUST BE MY NEW GAS COOKER

>>13479272
Why would you need to cook your gas?

>>13477266

Tried cooking bacon in the oven after seeing epic meal time do it.

It's easier, it's faster for large quantities and its impossible to fuckup unless you're an idiot. It gives the bacon a better mouthfeel too (crispy but also floppy.)

I just stick a whole package of bacon in and refrigerate the left overs. If I want the left overs I just stick them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds and boom instant breakfast side.

>"home cookers"
Looks an awful lot like an oven with a broiling compartment.

>>13477266
Pan.

While i prefer oven cooked because i like the even crunchy result, my wife likes her bacon chewy, not crisp.
In a pan i can make bacon faster and according to the preference of whomever I'm cooking for, all together at once.

>>13479406
Oven refers exclusively to the oven compartment, the door on the bottom.
There is a broiling or grilling compartment above that, and on top a hob or cooktop.

In modern parlance a home cooker would be called a range, or perhaps a stove.

has anyone tried the american kitchen method of boiling away with a little water in a pan until it simply fries in its mostly renders fat? I don't think it would work for english style bacon.

you fucks that use an oven to cook bacon will suffer an afterlife of hellish damnation. this eternal sacrament should only be fried in a skillet or on a griddle. i bet you disgusting fucks use air fryers too and i wish nothing but bad juju and eternal despair on all of your families for your mixed up ways and disrespectful dumbass beliefs that you waver....fuck you people that dont fry shit right

>>13479492
What?
The american method is to put bacon in a cold pan and bring it up to temperature. The fat renders as its warming and then the bacon fries in its own fat.

america's test kitchen, my bad.

i cooked it in the oven for the first time a week ago. about 20 minutes to cook, nice to just leave it and come back to bacon.

i did notice that the bacon looked almost translucent in places though, that seemed strange. but it was crispy and tasted fine.

>>13477266
Oven's only good if you gotta make a shit ton of bacon, otherwise pan's faster and tastier

>>13479484
I've never seen an oven that didn't have a range on it. Is that actually something you can buy?

>>13480603
Wall-mount ovens have been a thing for decades senpai where you been
There are also smaller microwave-sized ovens popular in tiny Asian apartments

>>13477266
air fryer

>>13477266
oven, always. 150 celcius, comes out perfect and flat.

>>13478906
neat

>>13477266
Cooking bacon in a pan how to:
Put bacon in cold pan.
Turn on heat to high
When water squeezes out of bacon turn heat to medium flip bacon
Once all water evaporates from pan flip bacon
Wait for bacon to start to hump in the center length wise
Flip bacon
Look for hump and flip
Repeat until bacon starts to froth.
Bacon is done, no mess, 11 minutes.

>>13477266
In a pan everytime

>>13477266
If I'm not cooking a lot I usually put it on my cast iron pan and then straight into the oven at 400 degrees

not that much cleanup besides draining my bacon grease and it leaves the cast iron seasoned with bacon flavor

>>13477311
>>13478956
This is the best way

Most of the bacon I eat comes from the corner restaurant, Original Phillips.
I believe it's cooked on the same surface they make eggs... so, fried.
It's very good.

>>13477278
Broil that shit, nigga. Fastest way to cook bacon

>>13479390
Yes. We cook two pounds (two pans) at a time in the oven. Easy peazy, a ton of fat for future dishes, great bacon, and lots of leftovers that are easy to use.

>>13477266
I haven't had a real oven since I was a little boy. The convection table top oven fucking sucks. Pan.
