I cook mine in a pan, usually cast iron pan if it matters I have never noticed, my cast pan is one my mom had when she first left home. Bacon in the morning is one of those childhood memories and that particular pan is attached to that memory. I buy basic bacon (cheap stuff) and sometimes re-smoke it and just towards the end of the cook I add a drizzle of maple syrup to it.

I also love chocolate bacon.... There is a place that sells it on a stick ridiculously thick cut, Belgian chocolate, it is stupid expensive but.... thank goodness it is far far too rich to eat regularly.
