Correct. 4 is perfect. Baked in the oven or pan fried?
I've always microwaved mine.
Does that cause any issues? I can’t imagine the microwave cleanup to be a walk in the park.
They make bespoke microwave bacon trays with relief and lids. Drain it in a jar while it's still warm, and then a dab of soap and a quick rinse does the job. I was raised with it cooked that way, and it's uniform, unlike pan-fried. No microwave cleanup involved.
Huh learn something new every day.
My college roommate and I have been at odds about whether bacon should be microwaved since 1997. Now I just taunt him whenever I cook some.
Like, I make it a point to call each time and let him know I'm microwaving bacon. He usually doesn't hang up on me.
