I know this thread is getting long in the tooth, but it's not *boiling*
the bacon or cooking the bacon in "boiling water". It's exactly the
same as frying the bacon in a skillet on the stove top. The water in
the bacon boils away, changes to a gaseous state, and the bacon frys
in the remaining grease. The only difference being that the boiler
has higher sides which makes for less spatter on the stove top. As
far as cooking it in the oven, not everyone has a self-cleaning oven
or a dishwasher. If I wanted a dishwasher, I'd marry one! Then if the
mule happened to die I could still get in a crop. Just kidding! It's
an old hillbilly joke.
