Title: 2011 official bacon thread (no saul bait thread)
Post by: pissclams on January 04, 2011, 07:09:14 PM
what is your favorite bacon?

mine- burger's smokehouse peppered

(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.heatherhillfarms.com%2Fprodimages%2Fburgers-smokehouse-bacon.jpg&hash=ea50cb6b88fce8192d771965e4461ae98b9eeb50)

if i'm in a pinch/non burger's smokehouse environment, i go with hormel black label

(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fbacontoday.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2008%2F08%2Fhormel-black-label-bacon.jpg&hash=96613e8eaac00177c7651b57a0aa38074ee12d3f)

also- i do not like bacon to be too crispy, i'm of the belief that it is done right at the exact moment that it is done.  this crispy, extra thick bacon is for idiot hayseeds.  thoughts, go cats?

I also like my bacon a bit less than crispy.  And keep any sort of sweet crap away from my bacon, TY very much.

Read a great bacon article the other day:

http://www.mensjournal.com/the-best-bacon

Shows pictures of their favs.

I've made this fantastic bacon thing in the BGE that is basically bacon, brown sugar, coriander, and crushed red pepper.

Fantastic thread, BTW

this is good advice, but dangerous advice.  you tilt that cookie sheet just the slightest bit towards yourself when pulling it out of the oven and you can kiss your forearm goodbye.  just kiss it goodbye.

Well, you don't tilt it then idiot.  I guess I could should have littered your LGE thread with advice like "hey don't dip your balls in the hot coals, if you do you can kiss your balls goodbye.  just kiss them goodbye". :rolleyes:

Love the brat stand that place has on saturday afternoons, but back to bacon...

I made the bacon explosion a couple of months ago and it might of been the Apex of all Pork dishes.

Bacon bits wrapped in italian sausage wrapped in bacon with BBQ sauce  :love:

A friend of mine did the bacon explosion once and told me what you had to do to make it.

I think eating that takes at least three years off of your life.
