Bacon is a type of salt-cured pork made from various cuts, typically the belly or less fatty parts of the back
Bacon is a type of salt-cured pork made from various cuts, typically the belly or less fatty parts of the back. It is eaten as a side dish (particularly in breakfasts), used as a central ingredient (e.g., the bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich (BLT), or as a flavouring or accent (as in bacon crumbles in a salad).

Meat from other animals, such as beef, lamb, chicken, goat, or turkey, may also be cut, cured, or otherwise prepared to resemble bacon, and may even be referred to as, for example, "turkey bacon". Such use is common in areas with significant Jewish and Muslim populations as both religions prohibit the consumption of pork. Vegetarian/vegan bacons such as "soy bacon" also exist.

    Do you pan fry or microwave your bacon?

    I think the flavor is a bit better when bacon is pan fried, but preparing it in the microwave is generally easier. I will typically pan fry the bacon if it is to be included in a recipe, and otherwise I might make it in the microwave. It seems to me less grease is produced when it is prepared...

    How crispy do you like your bacon?

    My wife likes bacon cooked to within an inch of its life - so crispy you can pick it up and snap it in half; the daughter prefers it to have a little crisp at the edges, but that's enough. How crispy (or not) do you like your bacon?

    Frying bacon?

    My husband makes bacon uncovered in the pan. It splatters the stove top and is such a greasy mess to clean. When I make it, I like covering it with a lid, which limits the mess. He states the bacon takes longer to get done and does not crisp as well. I really haven't noticed a difference. It may...
