Default The cooking technique/tip you learned on your own

Cooking bacon.

Actually, it was a followup to what I learned from my old girlfriend.
She taught me to cook my bacon low n' slow, just like eggs, only
slower. I used to cook my bacon too fast and ALWAYS ended up with
either burnt or overly crispy bacon. She taught me to cook it slowly,
taking almost 3-4 times longer than I had originally. But, my bacon
is now perfect every time.

Oh yeah ....my part. I finally figured out not to drain off the
grease. With multiple batches, that ever growing pool of bacon grease
only provides a more uniform heating medium. I guess one could say
it's almost deep frying - which I hear some folks do - but I still
like that the bacon is in contact with the bottom of the pan. I also
figured out that using a non-stick pan is the way to go. Yeah, yeah,
yeah... I hear the purists gnashing their meat eating molars, but the
bottom line is, it's about 10 times easier to clean up. So there!
