>I don't know if bacon is different where you live but here it definitely is not, it's very clearly still raw and it's extremely obvious just by looking/touching it that it's not meant to be eaten like that.
Huh, maybe that's just a regional thing then, never knew. I can see that if I google it in my own language the answer is yes, but if I google it in english it's no, so that's actually a surprise for me.
>all the starches that come out of the pasta and normally get dumped down the sink are instead absorbed back into the pasta & sauce and it makes the whole thing a bit thick and gluey and unpleasant to eat.
Heh, that's the part I like about it, since I tend to boil it with stock, and draining always also gets rid of all the taste, so for me it's a better solution. Matter of taste I suppose.

>My brother has a slow cooker and has complimented it a lot to me, saying how easy it is to use and how good the meat comes out.
It's definitely been a game changer for me when it comes to meal prep, as I can just take a bunch of raw ingredients, chop em up, throw them all in at the same time and leave it for about an hour. When I come back, BOOM: risotto, fried rice, spaghetti carbonara, you name it.
>Oh yeah that too, I wouldn't put anything actually raw to cook in the microwave, but I just meant that since bacon is thin, it'll cook through more easily unlike something like a steak that would take a while to cook.
That's true, it's a very quick process and giving it like 3 minutes is enough to get it to crust up and get dry, so you know by then that it's aight, but as mentioned in my reply to the anon above, it might not be advisable depending on your region, so maybe check out what your national food standards are when it comes to preserving meat, seems to be a thing with whether it's artificially preserved or traditionally smoked based off a quick google skim.
>Sometimes the cheaper option just tastes so bland or straight up bad that it's a waste of money.
Yeah, that's always the problem. I got this issue with cheese especially, which is a shame since I love cheese but it's very expensive.
>Sadly food is quite expensive here too, and keeps getting more expensive constantly, so it's not always easy budgeting.
Seems to be the way of the world right now, never thought I'd live to consider eggs expensive but here we are.
