    A pig died so that she could boil a part of it into shoe leather. Then you had to eat it. The things we do for sex…

      If you put a little water in the pan with cold bacon it will steam for a bit and help render out the fat before it then deep-fries in that fat. To much water and you get whatever this is.

        Y’all’ve seriously never tried grilling your bacon in the oven? The fat just melts off and leaves your bacon perfect. If you like it crispy, just leave it in for a bit longer.

          I started making my burgers in the oven and never turned back. Meat is raised on a grill and it drips out in a pan. The bacon goes directly on the metal sheet, buns get warmed up as well, they’re allowed to touch the bacon.

          You can leave it alone and don’t have to actively cook and can chill. The timing when to add the bacon is easy, it’s when you turn the patties.

          Yea, I use my air fryer for everything. Wife wanted bacon so I figured what the hell, put it on bake and it was the best bacon ever and all the fat poured right out crystal clear.

        Fried bacon fat is amazing…

        There is only one true way to cook bacon and it’s in a CI pan and in it’s own grease.

        Not even. You can totally submerge the bacon in a pan full of water. As you say, the fat renders out and you then fry it in that fat when the water all boils off.

        This is literally just boiling it and taking it out of the water like it’s fucking spaghetti or something.

        I’d assume if you care about global warming you’d also avoid eating meat. Maybe more important for beef than bacon though. Anyway, I interrupted your chewing, please continue!

        The amount of energy you (as a consumer) use is nominal in comparison to big corporations; especially the big corporate farms. So you might as well heat up a second pan to make the bacon, because you’re suffering unnecessarily for no gains.

        But make no mistake, what I said above is in no way a negative reflection on you or your future wife.

            You’re as bad as the chauffeur, who – directly after my wedding ceremony – said “You still have 24 hours to change your mind”. 🙄

                It’s my fault. I should’ve picked a different chauffeur when the first time I called them and said I was getting married, and his response was “oh, a standing funeral.” 🤦‍♂️

        Are we just ignoring the significant amount of energy it would take to get a pot of water up to a boil?

          I think you meant to type “in this case, it is!” but your typey sticks got a bit wayward and hit the wrong buttons. Happy to help :)

    Frying both the egg and bacon would probably use much less energy and be 100 times more tasty than whatever this is… If I have to boil bacon, I might as well not eat it at all… 😅

      This gave me a sudden flash of Uncle Roger. If you boil bacon, bacon is fuckt up. Aya!

    I hope you call your girlfriend BB from now on. Not because it is a bastardization of “Baby” but because it is short for boiled bacon.

      I’m washing the pot now. It was boiled in the same pot water as the eggs. Saves electricity

        I just fry my eggs in the bacon grease, same energy, probably not as healthy but it doesn’t look like a crime scene either.

        You’re saving 2c and wasting bacon… If you want to boil everything maybe pick foods that aren’t depressing when boiled.
