What if you air fried bacon? How could that go?
There’s a reason it’s called bacon and not fryon. >

Agreed. Tried baking bacon once and never looked back. >

I bake it because it's much easier especially in bulk. >

i only like chewy bacon >

Now this is an unpopular opinion. >

Definitely. Like, I prefer chewy bacon but I like it any way I can get it in my mouth >

Same here >

100% agreed. >

I prefer it just right outta the package. Why even cook it at all. >

Safer than it used to be, I guess... >

Baking is 100% the way, I agree. Also bacon is smoked, so can be eaten raw from the package. I was kidding, I don't do that. But I did have a phase when I was younger where I'd eat it just warmed up, like 30 secounds in the microwave kinda thing. >

Any time  I  cook bacon,  I eat a slice uncooked as well. Nothing wrong with that >

Uhhh wat? >

It's cured. It's perfectly fine to eat >

Read the packaging please. >

No. I like it and it's never made me sick.  Plenty of people eat it like that >

I too know a fair few people who will eat an uncooked slice or two, had a tiny bite myself, tasted fine but I like the crispy >

How on earth is there a thread on cooking baking and baking, frying, microwaving, steaming and even eating it raw is mentioned before the superior method of grilling? >

Grilling? Never heard of her >

Boom. Still got it >

I'm going to one up you and say grilled bacon makes even more sense.  Use a baking pan.  Comes out even better than baking and doesn't make your house smell greasy. >

Personally I prefer a bacon weave in a cast iron pan using a grill press. Gets you nice and crispy parts and chewy parts that's flat and perfect for BLTs. >

I prefer microwaved bacon. Fast, crispy and more grease free than other methods, especially if you quickly dab it with a paper towel on a clean plate after taking it out of the microwave. >

Wtf haha serious >

I agree and  curing and smoking your own bacon is superior to store bought. >

You can bake bacon in an air fryer. Best of both worlds. >

Until you have to clean the basket. >

Sorry, I've done both. Pan fried taste much better to me. I bake it because it's much easier especially in bulk >

Extremely Popular >

I've only met 1 other person that bakes their bacon. Granted, there's only a rough estimate of maybe 1000 people asked since I've been cooking bacon. >

You must be great at partys lol >

A year from now you'll go back to frying it cause it tastes better, that's a gaurantee >

Baking tastes far better. I've also been baking my bacon for at least 20 years. I don't think I'll go back to frying ever. >

You like your oven element being caked with bacon grease? It's better in a pan, man >

Hey, people like different things. You will never be objectively right about bacon being better in a pan. Your opinion is only factually correct to you and those who agree with you. Accept it. >

Nope, I am right about bacon, it's better in a pan, if you want bacon grease all over the inside of your oven and bacon that tastes like shit be my guest >

Lol you thought it’d be better a second time >

This guy bacons >

Or, if you're like me, you get the pre-cooked bacon from Costco and microwave it for 30 seconds >

Blasphemy! This is the true unpopular opinion. >

Except, you hear up a whole oven, as opposed to pan. >

Twist it a few times and bake it on a rack for perfect crispness:chewiness. >

It works well. Takes longer but it is reliable. I think people just don't realise how good it is. >

Deep fried bacon ftw. >

Anthony Bourdain agrees with you if that helps, and its the way I tend to do it too >

One better:  Get an oven sheet and the screens that fit perfectly in those sheets and bake on them.  I do it all the time. >

Do you want your house to smell like bacon for days? >

If not, feel free to cook it at mine, I accept bacon scent payment >

Add a little brown sugar, and red pepper flakes and you’ve made spicy meat candy. >

I’ll fry bacon if I’ve cut it into small chunks, but never strips. >

Glaze with a soy and fruit jelly mix half way through the bake...caramel bacon..mmm. >

Less burns, less mess! >

I usually bake my bacon if I'm trying to be more hands off in the morning, it lets me get showered and dressed while it's in the oven but still cooking, and then I cook the remainder of my breakfast on the stove.
That being said, it's faster to cook on the stove, and utilizing some of the grease to cook your eggs is a pro move. >

I always cook my bacon in the oven. Only needed one time doing it on the stove in short sleeves to realize that aint the way lol
