Deep frying is the only way I do bacon any more. Faster and a lot less

I've been doing it with the Foreman. Nine minutes of no-look, no-hands,
no-attention-needed, so I can focus on doing other things.
Beeper-announced completion and and no spatter. Bacon rules.

Deep fried, no splatters, cooks a LOT of fat out...

and only takes 2 to 3 minutes:

Bits:

Strips:

http://i11.tinypic.com/2dtwytx.jpg

Granted, it's not flat but it works.

Cooking enough of it, I've had to BAIL the deep fryer!

I love the electric grills, but deep frying bacon works better than any
other method. Just don't bread it. ;-)

I deep-fried bacon for a brief period before my Doc pulled the deep fryer
plug.

Have you got one of these?

http://fantes.com/potato.htm#nest

It would probably keep the bacon curls to a minimum, if it's not too large
for your fryer.

It was a dietary measure to lower my cholesterol. Deep-fried foods do retain
a fair amount of oil, no way around it.

I did fish'n'chips a few months ago but nothing else since.

Not IMO. It does not take long at long to grill these bad boys. If
you've a reasonably fresh tort you should be just fine. Don't butter it
as you would a regular grilled cheese sandwich.

The turkey is one of those things I'll have to try before I die, I
s'pose.

My aversion comes from past experiences of people deep frying
chicken...... and me trying to eat a half raw bird with glutinous jelly
and bleeding viens coming out of it.

When I cook bacon, I usually cook the entire package (bacon is stored in
the refrigerator for future use). I bake it in the oven at 400 (F) for
about 12-14 minutes. It comes out flat and crispy, and I save the bacon
grease.

I have bacon cooking right now and the grease is going into my bacon
grease jar....

Some of that bacon grease goes into my fat I use for frying chicken..
And I cook my fried apples in it....it is a wonderful flavor for
apples!

Well, as it turns out, Crash already has ceramic balls. LOL! Doc
says there isn't anything they can do about it. He didn't think that
the WD-40 suggestion had any merit (closed-minded SOB). The doc is a
sweetheart, actually.

But Crash got cortisone shots in one knee and one shoulder, and is
looking at a minimum of 18 physical therapy sessions for his hips and
shoulders. The fun just never ends.

Fried apples? I will have to try that. Fried okra tastes better if you
use just a little bacon grease, added to the cooking oil. I also use
bacon grease when I cook other vegetables, like cabbage, turnip greens,
beans.

Oh, I always save some bacon grease, too! Comes in handy for hashbrowns
and other kinds of potato dishes, hamburgers (mix some in with raw
hamburger then make patties), eggs, pork chops, and many other
applications <g>. Bacon grease also adds a nice flavor to braised
meats. A little bit goes a long way . . . . ;>

Those little disposable aluminum loaf pans are perfect to use as
containers for the bacon grease. Just use a small piece of foil as a
cover. I never use much bacon grease, so I rotate those disposable
grease containers when I cook more recent batches of bacon. Suggestions
only

Yeah, I grew up eating these, especially for breakfast. My mother
would fry bacon (or sausage) and then slice unpeeled apples into the
fat afterwards. She poured off some of it first. Then after the
apples had cooked down a bit, she sprinkled them with sugar. I like
brown sugar best on these, but while sugar will do in a pinch.
Then they would cook til they caramelized...

Wonderful things...along with biscuits...

I plan on fixing these for anyone that wants them for breakfast, at
the NM cook-in.

I save chicken fat from roasting hens, etc..and then render it all at
once. You are right, it is wonderful.

My mother taught me to fix turkey stuffing by sauteing the veggies in
chicken fat, then adding the stuffing mix/breadcrumbs. Since that
time, I usually have a ziplock bag in the freezer to which I add
chicken fat...until enough accumulates to render it.

Duck fat is also wonderful....

I've ended up with bacon grease in my Deep Frying oil.

I keep any drippings I desire to save in a wide mouth jar, in the bottom
of the fridge. It solidifies, but liquifies again almost instantly as
needed.

I used to have a vegetarian cook book that had, of all combinations, a
recipe for fried apples and onions. I tried it; it was good, if
strange.
