"Why was there BACON IN THE SOAP?"
~Zim, Invader Zim

Extra crispy please ... with 2 over easy and wheat toast ... hey get me some juice too ... and some grits ... do you have biscuits? jelly? I need a napkin. Could you pass the pepper, please.

Damn ... that was delicious!!!

My son taught me this little secret! His college roommate taught him after working as a cook in a restaurant. I wish I had known this years ago. It's perfect every time!!!

Wonderful alternative to frying Jodi. I don't eat bacon any more, but when I did I would have taken you up on this in a heart beat!

If you really want to be bad (and who doesn't?!) sprinkle with a bit of brown sugar before baking . . .

A little over a week ago, my friend in Austin, who is a chef, made us breakfast and cooked the most incredible bacon this way. (He told us the farmers make love to the pigs! It was THAT good.) I will cook bacon like this from now on. No more bathing in fat.

Really, the best part of this is that the fat drains away. If you pat the bacon down with paper towels after it is cooked, it lowers the fat even more. Nothing to be afraid of here! It's just cooked smoked pork, right?

If you use bacon in recipes, you can do a whole package this way, chop it into chewy, smoky, nummy bits then put it in a zip-top bag and keep it in the refrigerator for quite some time. It won't stay crispy, but it is fine for salads, breads and other recipes.

The residual smells of this morning's bacon are still lingering in my house...probably coming from that nasty frying pan I have put off cleaning. This could be a bacon miracle for me...

The title reminded me of the time when I was a kid and my brother decided to cook bacon topless -OMG the huge blisters he got on his belly from the giant bacon grease bubble that popped. Not pretty.

Oh so yummy, just wait until Freaky sees this!

Pawed for crunchy goodness!

This is great! Thanks, I always cook bacon in the nude too, could never find a big enough apron!

I learned this in one of many incarnation as a cook, eons ago. Now i'm hungry for a BLT.

oooooooh I hope Dana sees this

Bacon, avocado, tomato and arugula sandwich with chipotle mayonnaise on grainy toast will be lunch today for sure. Is it too early to eat?

Ooh! You're hurtin' me, Toochie!

The best way to cook bacon in the nude is to have my gorgeous husband do it while you perch on a stool drinking a latte and watching him. Just sayin'.

I admit that the bacon appears to come out just perfect. I'm afraid I won't be able to follow this recipe, however, as it involves oven cleaning. I will do almost anything to avoid cleaning the oven. Honest.

We prefer to keep the flying bacon grease completely out of the kitchen. Irvin buys thick slab bacon and cooks it outside on the grill! Yes, it does cause some spectacular flare ups, but he keeps the squirt bottle handy. We use a propane grill, also. I don't think it would work as well with a charcoal grill.

BACON!!!!!!!!!!

mmmmmmmmmmm
Bakin' Bacon
so good it sounds like you said it twice!

i prefer to extra crispy bacon
then i can use it insted of chips for my onion dip.

upped

Bacon... yum!

Jodie, great way to cook perfect crisp delicious bacon.

- rated for the title tease!

Oy - don't read this near lunch-time - now I'm hungry! (I feel like that dog in the commercial "bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon, bacon, BACON!)

Uhh...yum, yum. I will try this for certain. Just curious, how greasy does the oven actually get? I too will do just about anything not to clean my oven.

The oven mess is no different than what would splatter on your stove from a frying pan. I only mention wiping out the oven because it will smoke later if you leave the grease in there. But, the most simple of wipe downs seems to fix this problem. You don't have to actually *clean* the oven. No worries. :)

I was so dissappointed when the only photos were of bacon.

My friend who runs a coffee shops divulged this secret to me after telling her I'd never had bacon like the kind they sell at her shop. I haven't tried it yet, but then again, I didn't think of the advantage your post's title touts. SOLD.

mmmm...I want something that was a pig... just saying... again.

Yummy! Will try this this weekend, perhaps drizzling chocolate over it. Rated.

See, I read the title and was thinking along the same lines as Sandra: "Have your partner do it." (My other thought was, "Marry a police officer?")

And yeah, pictures of bacon on racks was *not* was I was hoping to see here. You tease!

I know, I know.

I'll do anything for the sweet, sweet page views.

BACON!
NUDITY!
BACON NUDITY!

I have no shame.

girl, do you ever know how to title a post - damn! One of my grandmas taught me this method - but not putting them in while the oven is still cold - thanks!

Thank you for revealing this little secret. Too bad that I already ate breakfast - no wait - BLT?

excellent idea, even if there wasn't any gratuitous nudity!

A useful skill. Rated.

Yeah... the Alton Brown method. Works every time.

livemonster - I think that was Dave Barry - goes with "Never lick a steak knife".

I have to idea who said it, but it's probably good advice.

Yes, Alton Brown does this in Scrap Iron Chef.

Another variation is to preheat the oven to 350 and do the bacon for about 20 minutes. You have to check it much more often for this method, though. But, you can get especially good results that way if you're looking for less crisp, chewier bacon.

Mmm... bacon!

I am a maple flavored bacon fanatic...and I have to admit I love the whole, sizzling, smoking, popping experience...However...I am also all about the taste. So I will try it this way when I cook at night...but mornings...I don't know...I just find the old method very adventurous. A great way to start the day.

But as a general rule, I always make sure that my wife is naked in the kitchen when I cook...standing at a comfortable distance from flying grease. Sometimes we never get around to the food. Granted, this has made for a few uncomfortable situations when I'm cooking for house guests.

I would do this but don't eat bacon anymore and now I miss it more than ever. Your photos are tantalizing.

Well with a title like this, I had to look, didn't I? =o)

Good suggestion, but darn it, now I'm craving bacon and it's almost midnight!

Bacon...I remember bacon...

Mmmm... bacon. I remember the first time I saw my partner (a chef) do this, I thought he'd lost his mind... It's been several years, and bacon rarely sees the stovetop around here.

The only "problem" is that if you overlap your bacon, you end up with it stuck together in a sheet. Of course, we have friends who would consider that perfect giftwrap, so, I guess "problem" is a relative thing :)

Hmm-- thanks for the tip. I'll have to give that a try!

Just came back to let you know that I bought bacon yesterday and am going to give this method a try (wiping, I can handle wiping). I'm hoping to get a little action from sweet husband. Bacon should work like a charm. :)

You've been listening to my phone calls, haven't you? Just this week I've given these exact instructions to three close friends. It's the only way to 'do' bacon --

Nudity rules and rates!

I believe it works like a charm but I'm with Susan - I avoid anything that leads to oven cleaning!! Plus there's that grill rack which would have to be wrangled into the sink ~ shudder~. I think this method would work best if you're doing bacon for more than 2 people (as you do with the fam) and have to do a lot. For just K and me for Sunday breakfast, a frying pan works fine and I can wipe down the stove in 30 seconds after. (My secret of evenly cooked, crisp bacon is frequent turning and not having the temp up too high.)

But we're in agreement that bacon is one of the most sublime foods ever. It's what I'd want to eat at my last meal.

Jodi! That first picture alone should be matted and framed like the beautiful work of art that it truly is. I'm told that Whole Foods carries a chocolate bar with bacon it it.
PS - Since you're in JAX, have you seen Pet Yellow Pages? I have an article in there.

Bacon!!!! Yay! I have one of those microwave things for bacon, but it just isn't the same. This looks like a great idea that even I can do. Should work perfect in my toaster oven.

You are the only person outside of my family that makes bacon the same way we do. Only how bad are we because we would put some of the bacon fat in the biscuits?

In photos looks it is very tasty, I am a pity that on a diet

I'm with Susan; I'd rather be splattered with hot bacon grease on sensitive body parts than clean my oven. But thumbs up for a great headline.

Hi Jodi,thanks for such remarkable recipe! Has made first time last week so since then the husband asks them constantly! Already 3 times did!

Bacon for me - as chocolate for children, thanks for the recipe, bacon in a photo appetizing nam-nam :-)

Jodi Kasten. apologies. I lurkings?
This time I came to see Sara Klipen.
The beg glasses are so enchanting.
I was looking at a young women the other day named Lucy. She has pretty glasses that make her distinguished looking as Lucy. Snoopy even wears eye-glass spectacles after looking at Sara's eyes. Swoons.
`
Lucy had a cute tattoo on her neck that was an elongated heart that dripped blood. Then she showed be the tattoos on her front chest. She knew I was not ogling a piece on bacon? I was enthralled at Lucy's beauty. The Tattoos were delicate colorful line sketches. Across her beautiful bosoms,
or,
no hyperbole. No exaggeration.
okay.
or,
rather.
She showed me thin colorful lines of two kissing. The one women had flesh. The other one being kissed was a skeleton. It was the most delicate, and soft tattoo I'd ever laid my eyes upon. I only looked with deep admiration, and wonder, and amazement. Magnificent. Beauty.
No let lard splashes
