Food Vices

Just figured out I've been cooking bacon the wrong way my whole life. I recently discovered boiling it is the way to go. Just a thin layer of water in the pan, bring it to a boil and let the water simmer off. The fat renders off in the water so it's no mess and the bacon comes out perfect.

Never heard of that way. Interesting. I cook mine in the oven, but I use a grate, so it's raised above the pan and the fat just drips off below to be tossed.

This is the way..especially with the thick cut which is my go too.

Always thick cut. But I'm a cheapskate, so I go with the store brand: Harris Teeter's.

once the water boils off you want to flip it to crisp it up on both sides
