I like the microwave because we do it on a paper place with a paper towel over it and there is no mess. I have found that lately some of the cheaper bacon brands NEVER get crisp, they just turn into jerky. I think it is probably that after injection the water and salt content is too high for the to fry--they just steam in that juice.
If you have that problem, try a better brand.

Doing a whole pound at once, with the idea of freezing it for later use, makes it reasonable to crank up the big oven (which, I'm bound to say, is a storage space most of the time). Good ideas, people. Thanks!

One I learned to make bacon in the oven, I haven't looked back. It's so easy and it doesn't curl up, comes out right every time.

I have occasionally had bacon that would not crisp but stayed a bit soggy, especially when cooked in a skillet. Never thought to check if they added water.
Bacon always seems so different from package to package, regardless of what brand I buy. I had a four pound package from Costco last year; three pounds were the best I've had in a long time and the fourth was terrible. It's a big mystery. Like why different hard boiled eggs from the same dozen can be easy and impossible to peel...

One of my favs is Oscar Mayer Thick Cut. A while back I tried Farmer John's thick cut and that was fine, too.
Haven't tried the Costco brand, although I do know their brand is usually quite good. But weird that some of it was good and the rest not so much.

I broil the whole pound of bacon in the oven. Comes out nice & crispy and the leftovers are used in other dishes.

I have bacon & eggs almost every morning for breakfast. It is a regular part of my healthy nutrition plan for losing weight. I just cook the bacon in a pan on my stove.
I'm working on using my microwave as little as possible & can't imagine using the oven to cook bacon every day.

I use the broiler in the oven....I use the broiler pan that came with the oven, put a bit of water in the bottom (for the grease to swim in) and broil, I leave the oven door ajar and watch closely..turn several times. It comes out nice and crisp and not swimming in grease.

Does anybody know if you can do bacon in a George Foreman, or is it too thin?
