    how do you cook your bacon?
    do you fry it?
    do you bake it?
    do you grill it?
    or microwave it?

    I cook my bacon on a broiling pan in the oven at 400 degrees. Flip it over as soon as the fat starts to bubble. Cook until preffered crispness. You can collect the drippings to use for other recipes from the broiler pan afterward.

    thats a good idea, ive always just used a cookie sheet, but a broiler pan would let me save the grease to fry my eggs, im gonna try that tommorrow:D

    Fried, the way bacon was meant to be cooked. My mother-in-law has started baking bacon, but for some reason it always turns out horrible, almost flavorless except the flavor of burnt grease...

    And I'm with you Robin... The wife likes hers extra crispy but I like mine on the softer side, just short of crispy...

    Fried but I don't like it crisp. I like mine to be a little chewy. Waffle House calls it "limp bacon." IHOP always cooks it like that.

    Good to know! Waffle House is coming to our office on Monday to cook bacon, sausage, eggs and waffles to order - now I know how to request it!

    I just like the fat to be cooked away and a little crispy on the edge, but still like it to be a little chewy in the middle like tender jerky. Mmmmm bacon jerky.

    If it's "real" bacon, you have to fry it. I like mine crisp, the crispier the better. Hubby likes his a little chewy.

    For the fake turkey stuff, which is mostly what I eat with my high cholesterol, I microwave it nice and crisp. My turkey bacon is usually served as a peanut butter and bacon sandwich. And before you go, "Ewwww!" It's actually very good. I make myself some toast, and cook my bacon. While the toast is still hot, spread both pieces with peanut butter, top with hot crisp bacon, and make a sandwich.

    The real deal gets served with eggs and toast, or scrambled eggs and pancakes.

    Re: how do you cook your bacon?
    I like mine fried. Just until the fatty parts are turning golden. I like a little crunch and chew.

    For my turkey bacon, I like that baked.

    .. What if you don't like bacon? :P

    I used to eat it all the time - back then I'd just fry it on the griddle.
