I like crispy! But I like burnt stuff. I'll eat it less than crispy, or a little less done, I'll eat it barely done. Oh heck....who am I kidding..I'll eat that bacon

My mom used to cook bacon extra crispy so I'm not a fan. I like mine cooked 'til the fat is rendered but still kinda chewy. I cook it in the oven if I have time.

I want to try sous vide then pan fry but I haven't gotten around it yet.

I used to cook it in the oven, but now do it in the pellet grill at a lower temp - around 250°F. If I'm in a hurry, I'll do it at 350°F. Keeps the smell out of the house.

I've also been known to deep fry it on occasion.

I will add one addendum to this:


When making pig candy, a light, even crisp across the entire strip of bacon is ideal, especially when making pig candy cinnamon pecan rolls:

More on the crisp side rather than the chewy side. Definitely not wriggly. The fat must not have the soft, jelly texture of fat or I will nearly spit it out. It's a texture thing from my childhood.

I prefer it have a little chew to it for eating on it's own

If it's for salad or twice baked potatoes then I like it more crispy where it crumbles easily.

i like it borderline chewy/crispy orange.
