Dont you limp people have a problem admitting you prefer limp meat. :rofl:

Sorry, just couldn’t resist.

Crispy! I added bacon/porky fat to my mayo recipe this week… very tasty

#21

Crispy… but not overcooked… there is a fine line there.

That’s high on my list of things to try next!

I eat a lot of bacon and like it pretty crispy, but next time I cook I’m going to try a little less crispy just to keep more fat in it.

A well-done steak is a ruined steak.

The same goes for Bacon.

I’d be more confused about people wanting crispy meat. :thinking:

(Teresa (turtle)) #26

I prefer a happy medium of the two :bacon:

(Lesley) #27

Both :slight_smile:

(Jason Barden) #28

Definitely crispy.

I mostly use bacon in the slow cooker, especially in combination with lean meats like liver. There’s no waste or mess and it ought to minimize heat generated toxins. Also I get chunky bacon ends which for me are about 1/3rd cheaper than comparable strips and they work better with this style of cooking.

A bit crispy on the edges and soft in the middle is perfect but if I had to pick just one, it would soft.

I used a combination of avocado oil, light olive oil and the fat. Half n half lemon juice and acv. Def my best combo so far. Enjoy your experiment :grinning:

That sounds good! I’m definitely going to cook some bacon and liver in the crockpot. Liver is the only organ meat I like but haven’t had it in ages.
Do you just put them both in the pot and cook until done? Add anything else?

Just more… that’s all. I’m not that picky, though when it’s cooked to the point of being bacon bits that haven’t been broken up yet, I’m less pleased.

Oh…and I don’t know if annoys the hell out of any other Canadians, but bacon up here is exactly the same as what you get in the US and most parts of the world. What people call “Canadian Bacon” we actually call “Back Bacon”

I can’t help but love it crispy honestly! Haha

#37

You need new friends. That’s no different than well done steak. Disgraceful.

I think it’s all good. Really crispy - you can shove it in your mouth and voila - it’s bacon bits. Or not crispy - there’s a lot more to it, then, and that fat is delicious.
