This works great. It does take longer, but you just start it before you start mixing up your pancake mix or whatever elaborate breakfast you are making anyway. Like all good cooking, it is about the timing (it is similar to, and takes about as long as boiling the water for pasta or potatoes). This is for a weekend breakfast/brunch. I also tried it with quite a bit less water and it seemed to work fine in less time. This is for people that like to cook. Enjoy the process...
I followed this method for a few years after seeing this video. I definitely liked the result -- the bacon gets cooked more evenly than with normal pan-frying. But it took forever to cook an entire package of bacon this way. I've now switched to baking on parchment paper, and I don't miss this method at all.
@@jakethedog4397 This is how I cook mine as well. Bacon on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Place in cold oven, set heat to 400 F, thin bacon about 12 minutes, thick bacon closer to 20. Or do a quick search for the bacon method.
I don’t understand all the negative feedback and often from people who haven’t tried it. We should encourage people who go to see the trouble of making such videos often just to help other people. If we put them down they are not motivated to do them. The great thing about TH-cam is these people.
It works! It doesn’t take that long and is yummy with all the fat cooked off!! Don’t be hating out there… try and support to see if it works and it does!
Well said. If you don't like it stop watching! Could you imagine how negative these people's minds are? Not just to the outside world, but to themselves too. It must be a nightmarish existence.
Just cooked mine in a cast iron skillet and use a cast iron bacon press to keep flat. Delicious from first piece to the last. Key: don't remove the rendered fat between batches.
Alternatively, use the pan lid and add only enough water to form steam. This will still help distribute the temperature a lot and you'll get more even cooking in lots of kinds of "dry" foods.
I just did this bacon, and the result is that: a) Yes you spend more time cooking it and b) It does not matter, the bacon was so perfect I almost couldn't comprehend it with my human brain. The texture, the flavor, the fat and the meat were on the whole bacon, and I just need to tell you that your life will not be the same if you try it.
Really great way to do bacon (especially the thick-cut kind). The water cooks off a lot faster than you'd think, and they're absolutely right about the tender, crisp texture. This method is for people who care about their bacon!
Personally I use medium-high heat. But the main thing is not to use too high heat, the more heat the faster it burns and you want it to get crispy over time and not instant (burnt). It should take about 5 min in a hot pan (medium to high) to get it nice and crispy. If your own settings goes from 1 to 9, 6 to 6+ should be enough. Just remember to have some butter in the pan when you start (about 25 grams)
Thanks, after spending the last 20 years cooking my bacon exclusively with the sun and a magnifying glass I was looking for a way to finally shave 30 seconds off the cooking time
I once scoffed at this method... but I finally tried it this morning and the bacon was PERFECTION. Crisp, evenly cooked, and still juicy with a pleasing chew. It was, without a doubt, the best bacon I ever cooked (my usual method is just med heat in a pan until browned). However, this method also took about 20 minutes, instead of the usual 6-8 minutes. I think next time I'll experiment by just cooking it on med-low without water from the beginning to see if the water makes a difference or if it's just the long, low cooking.
hawaiidispenser How did you get on with method? I would anticipate the moisture evaporating cooking on low, and without water. Bacon hitting high heat should keep in the moisture. Did you find it was dry?
I just set it on a medium low heat so it slowly cooks while I'm making coffee or prepping other foods. I keep it constantly low and it turns out beautifully. Doesn't take long, either. I think the main mistake people make is impatience which makes them turn the heat up too high. I know the sweet spot on the temp dial for a particular burner, half way between really low and medium for my stove, put a splatter screen on top and only turn it a few times. Easy peasy.
Bake it on a cookie sheet (with edges to hold the oil) lined with parchment paper. Flip half-way through cooking. Comes out evenly cooked and each piece lays perfectly flat.
@@beewise3193 In the restaurant I worked we had a high end convection oven ($10,000) that cooked everything like a dream. At home a conventional oven works fine, you just want to dial it to where the bacon comes out slightly undercooked because the carryover will take it to absolute perfection without making it too crispy 👌. Try 375° F for idk 10-12 minutes and make adjustments to find the perfect bacon. Good quality thick cut bacon is also a game changer here. People seem to think bacon is unhealthy. It’s only unhealthy if you get low quality stuff because it will most always have nitrates as a preservative. Once you buy high quality bacon you can’t go back because it’s really that much better (look in crowdcow.com or butcherbox.com etc.) Also with the oven method you don’t have to flip the bacon while cooking.
This does work (I’m not a cook by any stretch of the imagination) and my bacon turned out exactly the way I wanted. It does indeed take longer so I’ll by trialling some of the suggestions in the comments, but if you want to avoid bacon that turns into brittle strips, this is a reliable method.
Or you can boil the kettle (1 min) while the pan heats up and make a cuppa at the same time. Whisk 4 eggs to make French toast as the bacon cooks then use the leftover bacon fat to cook the toast in the pan to give it a crossover bacon flavor. Use the left over eggs to make a small omlette while you cut some tomatoes in half and let them cook while you make your cuppa. Time taken to make breakfast: 5-10 min.
That is the best bacon I have ever had. I had really nice, thick cut bacon and it even worked with that ~ what a great method, thank you so, so much!!!
The best result is to start with a cold pan and keep it on low heat. It takes longer but perfect results. Flat, crispy, chewy, and fat rendered. Also boiling the grease in water makes it weird to reuse it. This way you have a pan full of awesome liquefied bacon fat and ideal stripps
I was a cook in the army. I been cooking for 12 plus years. I can say I learned something from this video. Never thought about cooking bacon like this. Good video.
I know your comment was made 7 years ago, but I’m seeing it on July 4, 2022 and just want to say THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, sir! Celebrating America, and our brave!
I add a couple of Knorr beef stockpots to the bacon and finish the cooking with a little Olivoil. You can do too - its really that simple - or not, it's your choice.......
Or you could put thick-sliced Wright’s (or similar good quality bacon) on a rack on a sheet pan or just directly on the pan, slide it into a cold oven set to 400*, and remove it after 17 or so minutes. Perfect every time, no splattering mess, and you can do other stuff more conveniently while it’s cooking than any stovetop method. I’ve done it this way with the water in a skillet, it’s really good but no better. If you use a rack in the oven, it’s also better for you.
It takes about 10 minutes to "render" fat. You fry it at a medium heat turning occasionally until the fat is rendered. It makes a pop sound and turns more of white then browns the longer you cook. It's rendered as soon as it all pops. It really isn't hard. If you use to high of a heat it burns the meat before it renders the fat. Simply cook on a medium heat.
@@SimonWoodburyForget I like to flip and as long as there is enough oil/butter in the pan there should he no contact issue. Snip your bacon fat it then dosnt curl up and all stays touching the pan and oil. If you really want to get fancy they figured it out years and years ago. They invented the frying iron. Simply an iron like utensil that you place on top of the bacon or whatever your cooking and it holds it down. The beauty if them is they heat up and cook from both sides. No need to fix ehat is not broken my friend. 😘
@@SimonWoodburyForget the best way to cook bacon without work is to place on a baking tray generous oil or butter coating and simple overnight cook. This gives a uniform finish most of the time. You can fit more in. It's just generally done in restaurants etc for big batches it's not quite the same as frying. Deep frying would destroy the smoked flavour and is simply wrong in my opinion.

Bro how is it that I’m watching this bacon video at almost midnight for tomorrow’s breakfast and I stumble across your comment 18 mins ago on this pretty old video… LOL
I bake my bacon on a tin foil lined sheet pan. I eyeball the cooking process looking to partly cook one side then turning the bacon over to cook other side until desired crispiness. This method works very.well. It avoids standing over a pan waiting for the bacon to cook and easy cleanup as well. Oh Yea..save those drippings!
I usually do the oven method, but had one extra slice today that didn't fit on my pans, so I decided to try this new method that I saw on Facebook this week. The process took a LONG time. While this slice cooked, I cooked the rest of the pound and a batch of chocolate cookies! I'm very glad that I only used one slice, not a whole pound. It was crispy and chewy at the same time, but it lost all of its bacon flavor….the saltiness was completely boiled away. Usually I think ATK has some great ideas, but they struck out this time! If you decide to try it, cook only one slice, or you might be sad.
Pan fry on a lower heat, and turn often. It comes out just fine. It only gets black and irregular when you try to cook on a higher heat and don't watch it. The lower heat works just fine for me.
I pre-cook my bacon a pound at a time. Keep it in the fridge till needed. Heat it in skillet on medium low heat. This takes just a few minutes, and it turns out GREAT. Saves time in the morning as your rushing out the door.
I dont know what you do with bacon in the USA but in Australia ( back me up UK !) we are talkin about Minnimum 2 eggs a few mushrooms, a sausage or 2 , a tomato and maybe even some black or white pudding and thsts before you throw on toast and beans....IN THAT PAN!!! 😊 ( not in soup)
I do my bacon on an aluminum baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven turned on HIGH broil. Turn the bacon once. Take it out when it reached your desired crispiness. Does not make a mess of your oven.
I've never cooked bacon using this water method, but I've always cooked it long and slow. No splattering fat over the stove and I like the texture better. I simply don't make it when I'm in a hurry. Just like I don't make pot roast for dinner when I'm in a hurry. Sometimes I'll cook the bacon a day ahead. It warms up quickly in a pan.
It's like America's Test Kitchen hadn't discovered basic diffusion yet. It really makes me wonder if these people ever went to culinary school or even read a decent cookbook.
@@daftrhetoric they don't know how the Maillard reaction and boiling temperature works either. Once water gets to 100°C, all energy goes into vapor. The Maillard reaction takes place at around 140°C. See the problem?
@@thomasolson7447 man it's a 50 second video you can't pay attention? You continue cooking the bacon once the water has evaporated to crisp it up, there's your maillard reaction
My way is easier. Line a jellyroll pan with foil or parchment. Place the slices of bacon on top. Bake at 400 degrees F for about 10-15 minutes, until meat is crispy and fat has been rendered. Place on paper towel and blot excess fat. As a bonus, strain and keep the bacon fat in the jellyroll pan to fry with.
I have read a few times that one should never use aluminium foil in close proximity to food, especially if heat is involved, as it may cause Altzheimers. So I have banned it from my kitchen. Parchment paper is ok
@@goforgold7082 It is but the amount you absorb is so minimal that it has no effect on your body. In fact everything you eat has aluminum. Unless you have some kind of immune system disorder then yeah keep using foil.
@@Chugwater_Cowboy thanks for the input. Its really difficult nowadays to deceipher between what is good or bad for you as it changes constantly. One day butter is bad and the next day its not. For years I heard that you should drink 8 glasses of water a day, only to read the other day that it is completely senseless as the water will just pass through your system and that 2 glasses a day is sufficient
@@SimonWoodburyForget I use parchment for easy cleanup. Don’t need bacon fat for my blt or avocado Sammy Never had smoke in my oven not once or splatter. Use a high sided pan if worried and pour a little water to start. All restaurants use the oven too. th-cam.com/video/Vkgu06F_Rr8/w-d-xo.html go the 5 min mark.
@@SimonWoodburyForget Santa is actually correct. He did not give a wall of text like you but everything you said is actually wrong. Oven baking bacon on sheet pans is the least messy, most efficient way to cook bacon, it doesn’t matter if it’s a convection oven or traditional oven. 350-375 for 30-45 minutes allows you to get the rest of the meal done while baking. It doesn’t matter if you use parchment or silpats or aluminum. Bacon cooked in an oven cooks consistently and evenly and requires minimum attention. I’ve been cooking professionally for almost 25 years and I’ve never been inside a professional restaurant that would prefer pan fried bacon over baked.
Or you could just put it in the oven... makes perfect slices every time and you don't even have to watch it. 400 degrees for about 15 mins. (the cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the bacon)
For similar results, we cook our bacon on a special microwave bacon cooking tray. It cooks the bacon perfectly, quickly, easily, drains the fat, can hold up to 7 slices at once, and is mess free.
I can cook scrambled eggs and bacon in under 3 minutes. Turn the gas grill on high with foil on tray, Beat the eggs with a little milk, turn one hot plate on, put butter in saucepan and melt, while it is melting place bacon and sliced tomato under the grill, pop the toast in, add eggs to a SMALL saucepan and stir continuously over low heat. After 2 minutes turn bacon. When eggs are cooked add one tablespoon of water and just stir a few times. Butter the toast, bacon and tomato and eggs all done. Simple as. You can pour maple syrup over bacon when you turn it to add a nice flavor.
@@rashida7777 mine has never been a problem 1 time and that’s the only way I will cook my bacon 🥓 Comes out crunchy every single time. I put a silicone mat down first and forget about it.
@@rashida7777 Sounds like you use the broiler. Make a foil tin/shallow up-turned edges, bake @400° for 20 minutes, place baked slices on a paper towel to absorb excess rendered fat, & serve. No splatter, no mess, just let rendered fat cool & throw foil/paper towels in the trash.
This does not change the fact that in Antarctica there are 21 million penguins and in Malta there are 502,653 inhabitants. So if the penguins decide to invade Malta, each Maltese will have to fight 42 penguins.
Tip you can also do it and just keep it on high heat, once water is evaporated turn the bacon regularly for me it takes about the same time as making it regularly
why not? When the water evaporates, the fat is left behind, as it evaporates way slower at the temperatures that water boils at. If anything, it's even better for collecting bacon grease, since you don't risk that much burning the grease while waitin for it to render out.
I Tried this method, it took me almost 1h to get the bacon fully cooked, at the final stage of the process the bacon wouldn't cook anymore so I had to bump up the temperature quite a bit. I would say this the bacon turned out moist crispy and no splash all over my oven so the question is: Is it worth my time? Absolutely No! I'm still going to do it in my Breville Toaster Oven it's ready in 16-18 mins at 400 degrees and it's almost just as perfect.
DOING IT. Next episode. Tomorrow we're filming it, we'll air it this Sunday. Bourbon perfect bacon, yessss... Can't get enough of these baconhacks. We've been using twitter and a bunch of other BS... the real gold... was always TH-cam...
+Michael Hand - That's the way I cook mine, except I'll put the strips on a rack to keep them out of the grease. Perfect strips, crispy, no burnt areas, and NO LOSS OF FLAVOR!
+Michael Hand i've done that method. oil splatters everywhere and the bacon comes out dry. takes a long time too. impractical unless you cook a lot of bacon at once or you have to put the bacon away in a fridge and it doesn't taste as good the next time.
I put the bacon on a wire rack that's on top of parchment paper and it goes in the oven at 200C (400F) for about 15-20 minutes depending on thickness of the bacon.
That’s 30 minutes of scrubbing that pan. How about on foil, on a backing sheet, 400 degree oven, 30 minutes. Boom. Perfect and toss the foil. After you’ve saved some of the grease for later. Thanks
Been cooking bacon for 40 years, tried this a couple times now and admit that it does make the best bacon.
This works great. It does take longer, but you just start it before you start mixing up your pancake mix or whatever elaborate breakfast you are making anyway.

Pro tio: use a skillet big enough to lay the bacon completely flat before adding water.. or cut the bacon to fit yours if you don't have one.
When cooking anything, I always make a sacrifice of time for better flavor or texture
The fact that I literally had pancake mix in hand as I read this comment 💀💀💀

I put a wire rack over the parchment paper and do it in the oven 200C (400F) for 15-20 minutes depending on thickness
Anthony Bourdaine recommended baking for bacon also.

Happy Father's Day! This Morning, Treat Dad to the Most Perfect Bacon, Ever: th-cam.com/video/2guC4Badq2s/w-d-xo.html
Just had my bacon done this way for my father's day breakfast. Worked like a charm.
Just cooked mine in a cast iron skillet and use a cast iron bacon press to keep flat. Delicious from first piece to the last. Key: don't remove the rendered fat between batches.
This is great for 3 pieces. When doing bacon for a large family or group (15+ pieces) its impractical.
***** You posted this a couple years ago and I've been doing it since. It's the best!
Still use my 350F. oven rack 12 minutes method......perfectly flat....perfectly cooked without any shrink.
I cook mine in the oven, just as good! I saved the bacon grease for refried beans. SO good!
Love!! Can you share how you collect the bacon grease?
Drain it into a strainer..store in jar in cabinet
Alternatively, use the pan lid and add only enough water to form steam. This will still help distribute the temperature a lot and you'll get more even cooking in lots of kinds of "dry" foods.
Nice!
THIS
Yes, I just cover with lid and don't add water and notice it does cook better
Use one of the dimpled crock pot lids for even water dripping.
I thought I invented that with an IKEA frying pan in 2005 but it turns out that India has been doing it for thousands of years
I just did this bacon, and the result is that: a) Yes you spend more time cooking it and b) It does not matter, the bacon was so perfect I almost couldn't comprehend it with my human brain. The texture, the flavor, the fat and the meat were on the whole bacon, and I just need to tell you that your life will not be the same if you try it.
BloodManticore24 you have successfully tempted me...

Thank you for this comment good sir
so you liked it???? ;)
i can make this with out all the hassle, just use low heat and keep a lid on the skillet to trap in its own natural moisture
Really great way to do bacon (especially the thick-cut kind). The water cooks off a lot faster than you'd think, and they're absolutely right about the tender, crisp texture. This method is for people who care about their bacon!

I luv me bacon 🥓
No they dont

In just 2 hours you too can have perfectly crisp bacon.

You can do this by starting with a cold pan and simply cooking the bacon over Med-Low heat.. same result, 1/3 of the time
Exactly.
Much better grilling bacon, not frying.
Never saw water fried something 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 how stupid people can be 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And the guy who put a like on it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this world is fucked i tell u
Personally I use medium-high heat. But the main thing is not to use too high heat, the more heat the faster it burns and you want it to get crispy over time and not instant (burnt). It should take about 5 min in a hot pan (medium to high) to get it nice and crispy. If your own settings goes from 1 to 9, 6 to 6+ should be enough. Just remember to have some butter in the pan when you start (about 25 grams)
Thanks, after spending the last 20 years cooking my bacon exclusively with the sun and a magnifying glass I was looking for a way to finally shave 30 seconds off the cooking time
🤪😂🤣
You’re funny
You've won with this hahahahhaha
Vous et so droll 😂😂😂
Won the internet today
I once scoffed at this method... but I finally tried it this morning and the bacon was PERFECTION. Crisp, evenly cooked, and still juicy with a pleasing chew. It was, without a doubt, the best bacon I ever cooked (my usual method is just med heat in a pan until browned). However, this method also took about 20 minutes, instead of the usual 6-8 minutes. I think next time I'll experiment by just cooking it on med-low without water from the beginning to see if the water makes a difference or if it's just the long, low cooking.
hawaiidispenser How did you get on with method? I would anticipate the moisture evaporating cooking on low, and without water. Bacon hitting high heat should keep in the moisture. Did you find it was dry?

iamaaccount account Animals are ours if we buy them dumbass. Go free a cow, lol
And there you go: feedback from someone who actually tried it. Thank you! I did, too, and had the same amazing result!
I just set it on a medium low heat so it slowly cooks while I'm making coffee or prepping other foods. I keep it constantly low and it turns out beautifully. Doesn't take long, either. I think the main mistake people make is impatience which makes them turn the heat up too high. I know the sweet spot on the temp dial for a particular burner, half way between really low and medium for my stove, put a splatter screen on top and only turn it a few times. Easy peasy.
Same. Or I cook in the oven when I making a bunch
Just tried this, but added Japanese BBQ sauce to the water. So good I'm dancing around my living room, no music playing, eating bacon & groovin'. 🤤🤣
Bake it on a cookie sheet (with edges to hold the oil) lined with parchment paper. Flip half-way through cooking. Comes out evenly cooked and each piece lays perfectly flat.
Is flat bacon the goal? I like mine curled up crisp
@@elleohaiif you want blts it helps
I bake my bacon in the oven, comes out perfect every time.
I’ve done this in restaurants cooking full sheet pans of bacon at a time. By far the best method.
Yup U'all, works every time.
What’s your method in the oven?
@@beewise3193 In the restaurant I worked we had a high end convection oven ($10,000) that cooked everything like a dream. At home a conventional oven works fine, you just want to dial it to where the bacon comes out slightly undercooked because the carryover will take it to absolute perfection without making it too crispy 👌. Try 375° F for idk 10-12 minutes and make adjustments to find the perfect bacon. Good quality thick cut bacon is also a game changer here. People seem to think bacon is unhealthy. It’s only unhealthy if you get low quality stuff because it will most always have nitrates as a preservative. Once you buy high quality bacon you can’t go back because it’s really that much better (look in crowdcow.com or butcherbox.com etc.) Also with the oven method you don’t have to flip the bacon while cooking.
@@Wormuloid4157 Exactly...
In England, we used to call this boiled bacon. About 400 years ago, someone said, 'Hey, guess what...if you remove the water, it cooks real quick'.

Just tried. Took a little longer (~20 min, but results were inarguably perfect
i just use the oven, comes out crispy all the time and with the container i use the greese drips into the the tray as it cooks, makes it so easy.
The "using the grease" after thing was EXACTLY what I was wondering. Great video! Quick and to the point.
Good things take time and are worth the wait for those who value quality over convenience. Thank you chef!
First attempt absolutely perfect. Best ever. Thanks for the tips.
In the oven method-perfect every tme.
I agree. Started doing it in the oven after buying a whole pig and having a bunch of frozen bacon.
I call that method “College bacon” as that’s how they made it at college. Must try again. Thx
I've come to use it as well :)
Right!? I'm 66 I'm not willing to give up half of whatever time I have left to boil bacon
@@michelle47043 LMAO well said
This does work (I’m not a cook by any stretch of the imagination) and my bacon turned out exactly the way I wanted. It does indeed take longer so I’ll by trialling some of the suggestions in the comments, but if you want to avoid bacon that turns into brittle strips, this is a reliable method.
Or you can boil the kettle (1 min) while the pan heats up and make a cuppa at the same time. Whisk 4 eggs to make French toast as the bacon cooks then use the leftover bacon fat to cook the toast in the pan to give it a crossover bacon flavor. Use the left over eggs to make a small omlette while you cut some tomatoes in half and let them cook while you make your cuppa. Time taken to make breakfast: 5-10 min.
That is the best bacon I have ever had. I had really nice, thick cut bacon and it even worked with that ~ what a great method, thank you so, so much!!!
Flavorless bacon in just double the time!

Because all the water has boiled off it will still be flavorful.

Right on man! You have family coming over, do you want to make some bacon and eggs? This is the way. Works fabulous.
The best result is to start with a cold pan and keep it on low heat. It takes longer but perfect results. Flat, crispy, chewy, and fat rendered. Also boiling the grease in water makes it weird to reuse it. This way you have a pan full of awesome liquefied bacon fat and ideal stripps
I fo a cold skillet with medium low heat and thick cut bacon and the results are a m a z i n g
I have been doing this for years and I found it to be the best way as well!
I would never have thought of this. Thank you.

Or you could put thick-sliced Wright’s (or similar good quality bacon) on a rack on a sheet pan or just directly on the pan, slide it into a cold oven set to 400*, and remove it after 17 or so minutes. Perfect every time, no splattering mess, and you can do other stuff more conveniently while it’s cooking than any stovetop method. I’ve done it this way with the water in a skillet, it’s really good but no better. If you use a rack in the oven, it’s also better for you.
Made my oven a disaster to clean!
@@susans7091 Um... how?
Microwave ovens do wonders for bacon! Best crispy bacon ever!
It takes about 10 minutes to "render" fat. You fry it at a medium heat turning occasionally until the fat is rendered. It makes a pop sound and turns more of white then browns the longer you cook. It's rendered as soon as it all pops. It really isn't hard. If you use to high of a heat it burns the meat before it renders the fat. Simply cook on a medium heat.
@@SimonWoodburyForget I like to flip and as long as there is enough oil/butter in the pan there should he no contact issue. Snip your bacon fat it then dosnt curl up and all stays touching the pan and oil. If you really want to get fancy they figured it out years and years ago. They invented the frying iron. Simply an iron like utensil that you place on top of the bacon or whatever your cooking and it holds it down. The beauty if them is they heat up and cook from both sides. No need to fix ehat is not broken my friend. 😘
@@SimonWoodburyForget the best way to cook bacon without work is to place on a baking tray generous oil or butter coating and simple overnight cook. This gives a uniform finish most of the time. You can fit more in. It's just generally done in restaurants etc for big batches it's not quite the same as frying. Deep frying would destroy the smoked flavour and is simply wrong in my opinion.
@@SimonWoodburyForget exactly but never deep fried. Glad you get it.
@@SimonWoodburyForget if you think it results in the same product I suggest never cooking again 🤣

@@floofyyarnball fr
This actually turned out really good. I thought it would take long, but it only took me about 15 minutes to finish.
I bake my bacon on a tin foil lined sheet pan. I eyeball the cooking process looking to partly cook one side then turning the bacon over to cook other side until desired crispiness. This method works very.well. It avoids standing over a pan waiting for the bacon to cook and easy cleanup as well. Oh Yea..save those drippings!
I usually do the oven method, but had one extra slice today that didn't fit on my pans, so I decided to try this new method that I saw on Facebook this week. The process took a LONG time. While this slice cooked, I cooked the rest of the pound and a batch of chocolate cookies! I'm very glad that I only used one slice, not a whole pound. It was crispy and chewy at the same time, but it lost all of its bacon flavor….the saltiness was completely boiled away. Usually I think ATK has some great ideas, but they struck out this time! If you decide to try it, cook only one slice, or you might be sad.
Thanks for your feedback. Another commenter also mentioned the flavor boiling away. Oven it is!
Cooked on a sheet pan in the oven is the best. Bacon tastes awesome.
Pan fry on a lower heat, and turn often. It comes out just fine. It only gets black and irregular when you try to cook on a higher heat and don't watch it. The lower heat works just fine for me.
I pre-cook my bacon a pound at a time. Keep it in the fridge till needed. Heat it in skillet on medium low heat. This takes just a few minutes, and it turns out GREAT. Saves time in the morning as your rushing out the door.
I dont know what you do with bacon in the USA but in Australia ( back me up UK !) we are talkin about Minnimum 2 eggs a few mushrooms, a sausage or 2 , a tomato and maybe even some black or white pudding and thsts before you throw on toast and beans....IN THAT PAN!!! 😊 ( not in soup)
Just start it in a cold pan, low heat and turn over a few times.
Don't use a cold pan if you're cooking with stainless steel though.

I've never cooked bacon using this water method, but I've always cooked it long and slow.
No splattering fat over the stove and I like the texture better.
I simply don't make it when I'm in a hurry. Just like I don't make pot roast for dinner when I'm in a hurry.
Sometimes I'll cook the bacon a day ahead. It warms up quickly in a pan.
I've tried this method and I gotta say it eliminates flavor. I still prefer baking it in the oven.

It's like America's Test Kitchen hadn't discovered basic diffusion yet. It really makes me wonder if these people ever went to culinary school or even read a decent cookbook.
@@daftrhetoric they don't know how the Maillard reaction and boiling temperature works either. Once water gets to 100°C, all energy goes into vapor. The Maillard reaction takes place at around 140°C. See the problem?

@@thomasolson7447 man it's a 50 second video you can't pay attention? You continue cooking the bacon once the water has evaporated to crisp it up, there's your maillard reaction
I have never heard of this method. Currently I am using an air fryer. But this looks like it doesn't cook away too much of the bacon.
For the first time since I moved to this apartment, my smoke detector alarm didn’t go off! Big thumbs up!
My way is easier. Line a jellyroll pan with foil or parchment. Place the slices of bacon on top. Bake at 400 degrees F for about 10-15 minutes, until meat is crispy and fat has been rendered. Place on paper towel and blot excess fat. As a bonus, strain and keep the bacon fat in the jellyroll pan to fry with.
The best way for sure. I love just being able to toss the parchment paper and bacon fat straight into trash, pan clean up is a cinch.
I have read a few times that one should never use aluminium foil in close proximity to food, especially if heat is involved, as it may cause Altzheimers. So I have banned it from my kitchen. Parchment paper is ok
@@goforgold7082 i think I read that somewhere too but I had forgotten about it.
@@goforgold7082 It is but the amount you absorb is so minimal that it has no effect on your body. In fact everything you eat has aluminum. Unless you have some kind of immune system disorder then yeah keep using foil.

Simon WoodburyForget Nothing you’ve written is correct. A lot of typing just to prove you can’t cook
@@SimonWoodburyForget Santa is actually correct. He did not give a wall of text like you but everything you said is actually wrong. Oven baking bacon on sheet pans is the least messy, most efficient way to cook bacon, it doesn’t matter if it’s a convection oven or traditional oven. 350-375 for 30-45 minutes allows you to get the rest of the meal done while baking. It doesn’t matter if you use parchment or silpats or aluminum. Bacon cooked in an oven cooks consistently and evenly and requires minimum attention. I’ve been cooking professionally for almost 25 years and I’ve never been inside a professional restaurant that would prefer pan fried bacon over baked.

Or you could just put it in the oven... makes perfect slices every time and you don't even have to watch it.
400 degrees for about 15 mins. (the cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the bacon)
For similar results, we cook our bacon on a special microwave bacon cooking tray.
It cooks the bacon perfectly, quickly, easily, drains the fat, can hold up to 7 slices at once, and is mess free.
I can cook scrambled eggs and bacon in under 3 minutes. Turn the gas grill on high with foil on tray, Beat the eggs with a little milk, turn one hot plate on, put butter in saucepan and melt, while it is melting place bacon and sliced tomato under the grill, pop the toast in, add eggs to a SMALL saucepan and stir continuously over low heat. After 2 minutes turn bacon. When eggs are cooked add one tablespoon of water and just stir a few times. Butter the toast, bacon and tomato and eggs all done. Simple as. You can pour maple syrup over bacon when you turn it to add a nice flavor.
i bake mine comes out crispy and perfect and straight

Despite all the rude comments.. I tried this was great.. good things take time !
A good way to leave the flavour of the bacon stuck to the bottom of the pan
Exactly what I was thinking. "wait for the fat to cook off..." WHAT?
Fried and egg or make a toast on that pan.
eyegrinder94 He was just talking about the fat being rendered completely.
MrKleenexDude I know, but when I wrote the comment it felt like he meant cooking it AWAY, which I cannot say I'd condone.
eyegrinder94 Technically that's what rendering does. It turns the fat into grease.
This does not change the fact that in Antarctica there are 21 million penguins and in Malta there are 502,653 inhabitants. So if the penguins decide to invade Malta, each Maltese will have to fight 42 penguins.
No they dont
Tip you can also do it and just keep it on high heat, once water is evaporated turn the bacon regularly for me it takes about the same time as making it regularly
Not the best of ideas for those of us who collect bacon grease for cooking fat.
Gerald Lee
I don't think enough people do this. Sad...
why not? When the water evaporates, the fat is left behind, as it evaporates way slower at the temperatures that water boils at.
If anything, it's even better for collecting bacon grease, since you don't risk that much burning the grease while waitin for it to render out.
If you are collecting bacon grease for the cooktop, that theory doesn't measure up to the practice, try it yourself.
I Tried this method, it took me almost 1h to get the bacon fully cooked, at the final stage of the process the bacon wouldn't cook anymore so I had to bump up the temperature quite a bit. I would say this the bacon turned out moist crispy and no splash all over my oven so the question is: Is it worth my time? Absolutely No! I'm still going to do it in my Breville Toaster Oven it's ready in 16-18 mins at 400 degrees and it's almost just as perfect.

I put the bacon on a wire rack that's on top of parchment paper and it goes in the oven at 200C (400F) for about 15-20 minutes depending on thickness of the bacon.
Tried this and it was horrible. I guess the flavor in the fat exited the bacon as well.
Boiled out.

I was just wondering about the flavor of doing it this way. Good to know.
They should have commented on the flavor. Make a comparison with the boil bacon vs regular bacon.
That’s 30 minutes of scrubbing that pan. How about on foil, on a backing sheet, 400 degree oven, 30 minutes. Boom. Perfect and toss the foil. After you’ve saved some of the grease for later. Thanks
