If you have to make a ton, oven.

Otherwise, in a pan.

If you microwave bacon, please kill yourself, like seriously you're just the worst.

hmm just bought these steaks time to toss them in the microwave because i am a trash garbage person that should be put down

I knew someone was going to post this like they knew what they were talking about but even actual restaurant chefs usually microwave bacon if they want it extra crispy for a bisque or something, idiot who is uninformed about cooking

You too, you're dumb and don't know what you're talking about. It's a legit non faggoty way to prepare bacon if you want it really crispy and not greasy for something

Oven is nice if it's for sandwiches because it comes out of the oven nice and flat, and it only takes about 20 minutes at 400F.

Cast iron for everything else, especially if it's crumbled bacon, as you can keep the grease in the pan and cook your other ingredients in it. Very useful for biscuits or eggs or corn.
You can put a cast iron skillet in the oven, its not illegal or anything.

Of course, but I tend to use the oven for larger quantities, so I use a cast iron griddle/grill top that's intended to sit across two burners.

In a pan, that way there's delicious bacon grease for eggs or refried beans.

1. Put bacon in pan
2. Put pan in microwave
3. Put microwave in preheated oven
4. Turn on microwave and use the sparks and flames from the metal pan to cook the bacon
5. Extinguish the flames, slather charred bacon remnants with Sriracha, enjoy.

One of these is not like the other. I'm confused.

Having breakfast? Ok biscuits, check... eggs, check.... corn? What like corn on the cob? Frozen corn? Canned corn?

I've used 3 devices to make corn. If it's corn on the cob then I use a grill or boil it. Canned/frozen I use a pot. I'll use a microwave to heat up leftover corn. I can't say I've ever had corn for breakfast and I'm in the midwest, where they make corn.

When does a pan and corn ever happen? .

Easy. Cut the kernels from about 6 ears of corn. Chop up a handful of green onions and a few red bell peppers, and a habanero or two.. Cook up some bacon until crisp, chop and set aside. Pour out about half of your bacon grease, and add a good sized knob of butter. On med-high heat, cook the corn, the white part of your onions and peppers together while stirring until it's started to get char marks on it and the corn is making popping noises. While it's cooking, season well with salt, pepper, smoked paprika and chipotle chili powder. Turn off heat, add the chopped green parts of your green onions and a hefty portion of crumbled queso fresco. Stir, allowing the cheese to melt somewhat, stir in the chopped bacon.

That's some yummy corn that makes a good side dish to a steak with a baked potato or whatever else you'd like it with.

That's how corn meets a pan and bacon grease.

i'm convinced that microwaving bacon is just one of those internet memes because i can't wrap my mind around the thought process that it would take one to think "hmm yes imma put this bacon into a microwave this is not an insane+retarded thing to do"

if you don't want greasy then why the gently caress are you eating bacon. also bacon that's super crispy rather than still having some tenderness is a goddam waste

I cook my bacon with a magnifying glass. It takes a little longer than other methods but I've got the carbon footprint of 19th century Chinese babe.

Well poo poo, that doesn't sound half bad. I loving hate corn now unless it's buttered corn on the cob. I think seeing endless fields of it and knowing that corn (syrup) is in almost every loving single thing Americans eat has really gotten to me. I've only ever really had corn 100% plain though which is might be part of the problem.

I don't know why but I never looked at is an an ingredient. More as a complete simple side dish. I suppose doing stuff with it and adding things remedies that. Who knew? :shrug:

That's understandable. I de-tassled corn for two summers in high school, and didn't eat corn for years because the smell made me gag.

Wait, you can microwave bacon? Whatever gently caress that, fry it and cook eggs in the grease.
