19 is too crunchy.

Anakin, no!

I like my pigs how I like my sexual partners: Alive and well

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Let's not be ridiculous, anything beyond #12 is unsalvageable! #9 is perfectly optimal though

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I don't understand how it starts getting better briefly after 9

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 4 points 6 hours ago

You know what, yeah, you're right - 10 is objectively super yummy as well!

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

I like mine fossilized.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 9 hours ago

Does the bacon reassemble itself between 9 and 10?

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

I usually take a bit from a live pig, so -3

[–] nforminvasion@lemmy.world 9 points 12 hours ago

45

I prefer my bacon in a gluon soup form..

[–] webp@mander.xyz 2 points 9 hours ago

I'll have a uuuuuuhhhh #14 with side of ketchup

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

10 through 18 look like the bristolstool chart

Call me nuts but I like the 4-5.5 range. I'm not a fan of chewy fat...

[–] socsa@piefed.social 11 points 16 hours ago

This is the objectively correct answer.

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

My ex liked the 6-7 range while I like the 2-4 range. We were thus incompatible and broke up after the umpteenth time they made it “for me” the exact same way they did for themselves.

(The last bit is a joke, the first bit isn’t)

Are you sure they didn't break up with you because they heard you use the word umpteenth?

[–] Hazel@piefed.blahaj.zone 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

If your ex liked 6-7 they were clearly too young anyways.

3-5. Thats the sweet spot.

[–] zeroConnection@programming.dev 17 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

It seems it self-heals a bit after 9 and reassembles back, so I would like to try that #10

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

That's what happens when you take it out at 8 or 9 when some areas of the meat have not been fully converted to carbon. Around stage 10, this conversion adds some support but then the bacon becomes much more brittle from 14 to 18.

[–] charokol@lemmy.world 11 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

2-5 are acceptable. Softer bacon is better than crispier bacon and I don’t care who I offend

[–] socsa@piefed.social 9 points 16 hours ago

It depends on the dish. Like Chinese pork belly should melt in your mouth, not break your teeth. But on a bacon egg and cheese sandwich, the bacon needs to bring the texture.

[–] dwemthy@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

3 is the breakfast buffet pile of hours old leathery bacon all stuck together with lukewarm grease. This is not an acceptable bacon. 2 for sandwiches, 4 or 5 for plain eatin

Edit:

I've been vegan for 10 years and I still miss 2-3 style bacon. Vegan bacon does a good job if you like Canadian bacon and/or 4-6 on this chart, but nobody has made fatty vegan bacon that's good around 2-3 cookedness

I only eat swine graced with the god particle

The Higgs Bacon

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 5 points 14 hours ago

Please ask the chef to restrict airflow so that I may use my bacon to heat my forge.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 13 points 18 hours ago (4 children)

4-6, depending on the type of bacon.

5 is where it's at boys. Max crisp, no burning.

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

1 is literally just raw. I like both crispy bacon and chewier bacon, but only if the fat is completely rendered.

I'd say either 4 or 17 deoending on how much carbon I'm looking for.

[–] fedikitty@piefed.social 2 points 12 hours ago

Between 4 and 5 is actually good.

[–] SnapdragonBeehive@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Food with charcoal is kinda dangerous to eat.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

It's bacon. Processed meat is a WHO Group 1 carcinogen, it's "known to cause cancer", I'm not sure how much the charcoal changes things.

It's also considered red meat for the purposes of the Group 2A carcinogens, where red meat "probably" causes cancer.

Not sure what your concern is with charcoal but eating bacon on a regular basis is already living on the edge.

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 4 points 15 hours ago

I can never decide between 15 or 16

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago
  1. But carryover cooking means by the time I get a piece it’s a 5.

Indexes start at 0

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 16 hours ago

There's a huge gap between 5 and 6. That's where I live.

[–] KC_Royalz@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

Is there a 4.5 option? Although 6-7 are the tastiest. I love charred food and burnt pizza

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago
  1. Maybe even 2. I'd have to see it in person.
