Squishy or Crispy

[RSKY]

Having to cook bacon for my granddaughters, wife, and myself got me to thinking about this.

How do you like your bacon?

Six year old has to have her bacon "squishy". She loves the thick sliced stuff. Have bought her breakfast at a restaurant where she told the waitress how she wanted her bacon cooked, then had the laughing waitress take it back because it wasn't squishy enough.

Wife has to have hers well done enough that it crumbles when you try to pick it up. She likes the thin sliced.

Mine has to be limber. I too prefer the thick sliced.

Two year old doesn't care. She will eat it any way it's cooked but prefers it like her older cousin wants it just because that's the way the older cousin wants it. As long as it is broke into small pieces and not burned.

So I've bought this huge skillet and I put two different types of bacon in it and have perfected how I place it so I can take it all out at once and it will be done as everybody likes it. Took some experimentation.

Ah, the trials and tribulations of being a retired granddaddy.

Life goes on.

I like my bacon cooked to "golden perfection".. Neither "squishey" nor "crispy".. but in between. One cannot always achieve this perfection, as all bacon in the pan does not cook to the same state at the same time. But one can try.:licking: I am pretty good at it.

I can eat bacon just about any way you can cook it.:laughing: But in recent times, I'm buying Wright Applewood Smoked bacon. It says Big N Better on the package. I've seen a lot thinner sliced, but I've also seen some thicker, so I guess I'd call it medium sliced. And I cook mine so it's still "limber", as you said.:laughing:

Crispy to the point just before burnt. Would rather have it burnt than limp any day of the week. Where I am currently working, living in a man camp, I cannot get bacon done right. It is basically deep fried till limp, fatty, and greasy. 'course the people here think bacon is evil and a sin....what can you expect.

Not any more. Haven't you heard, cholesterol in your diet doesn't affect your health.

Myth: Cholesterol-Rich Foods Raise Blood Cholesterol

(I call BS on that claim.)

Pretty funny! Just a few minutes ago the wifey and I were discussing the correct cooking of bacon.:laughing::laughing::laughing: I like bacon from just cooked aka squishy to really crisp and it can be thin or thick. Thick is just easier to cook since you don't have to handle it as much but taste wise I have no preference. Bacon just be good! :licking::licking::licking:

However, I have noticed people at the work cafeteria being very bacon specific. Seems like many people REALLY want crispy bacon.

Just give me bacon! :licking::licking::licking:

Later,

Squishy or Crispy ?

Properly cooked bacon is both...

I like mine just crisp and golden. I think the oven is the best way to get good bacon. 10 min at 350. But I usually don't want to put the oven on for bacon, specially for 1 lb in the summer.
