Bacon - Grill or Fry?

[Bjornebye]

My Mrs is a vegan so I don't eat anywhere near as much meat as I used too. Bacon is the main reason I could never be vegan. We babysat her niece and nephew on Friday, her nephew loves bacon so she got some in. 

 

Are you a frier of griller? 

[manwiththestick]

Grill for crispness.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Grilled.  Less greasy.

 

(Also, unsmoked.)

[Tony Moanero]

Fried. Grilled bacon is too dry.

[YorkshireRed]

Air Fried in the Ninja Foodi. 

[Mook]

Usually grill it, less hassle.

I vary it from time to time but I've just had some grilled and it was fit. Can't beat the bacon at a music festival. Some fat welsh fella cooking it on a griddle that hasn't seen water once in its life.

You got any good recipes for the Foodi? Wings are sensational and I did a lamb biryani that was immense as well. A few others have been a bit hit and miss.

Prefer grilled because they crisp up better, especially if you put the rashers on one tray and place another right on top. That said, deep-fried bacon is very good too.

 

Mmm bacon.

Deep fried bacon???? if I'm ever on death row I'll ask for that as my final meal so I can beat the bastards too it.

Yes, I like to smoke mine.

I’m learning so I’m in a similar boat. Did a pork crackling joint yesterday which turned out perfect. Steaks have been fantastic but I can’t seem to get homemade chips right. 
 

I also baked a loaf of bread which was nice and slow cooked a chilli but that’s hard to get wrong.

 

At some point I’m going to make a Scottish dish called Stovies in it. My mum was born on a Scottish Island and used to make it when we were kids. Delicious if done right and served with white bread and butter. It can be done with other meats but sausages are best.

I just put it in the oven.

Raw, same as prosciutto.

Strangely, she's never done bacon in the Ninja, we'll have to try that.

Same here but all three choices are valid. No fucking beans though!

Tried the microwave method once. It's not bad but doesn't get that brown crispness that a bit of frying or grilling does

Microwaved bacon is awful!

[johnsusername]

Grill on the barbecue. Love smoked bacon, as does my high cholesterol.

Was this before or after you kidnapped Maddie?

You need your hard drive checked. 

[ZonkoVille77]

Fried. Don't mind them grilled but the smell of the fat from the frying pan is Godliness.

On the Foreman. Nice.
