1. 3-4 but I can eat them all

[walkingman]

2. #2 or #3 - I don't like it hard.

[Haggard Celine]

6. Same here.

I also hate for my bacon to taste burnt. I have a slotted tray that I use for cooking bacon in the microwave. It seems to get my bacon done better than if I cooked it in a pan on the stove.

3. 3 perfect, all delish. I think that bacon should be it's own food group.

[Arkansas Granny]

4. 3 or 4 would be my choice. However, 6 is the only one I'd turn down.

[CurtEastPoint]

5. 4.5

[Xoan]

7. 5

[LakeArenal]

8. 2.5

[GemDigger]

9. 3.5

slow cooked to be cooked but chewy.

[OAITW r.2.0]

10. 5

Max taste and optimal crispness.

[blueinredohio]

13. Agreed!

[Hortensis]

11. :) Agree with Kittycatkat, 3 looks about perfect.

[sinkingfeeling]

12. 4.5

[nocoincidences]

14. A solid 5.

I would happily eat a 6, or a 4, but the rest I would have to cook some more.

[OAITW r.2.0]

16. When I cook bacon, usually a 1/2 lb at a time.

I shoot for 5 every time. I bag it and add to soup or sammy's during the next week or 2. 15 secs in the Microwave is recommended!

[nocoincidences]

18. I am all about the crispness.

Soft bacon is just wrong!!

[EYESORE 9001]

19. You say 'soft.' I call it 'flabby.'

I was very particular about bacon in my younger days, picking off any fat that wasn’t cooked to a crisp.

[nocoincidences]

20. I can go with flabby.

I actually like well-cooked fat. I jut enjoyed some nice cooked fat on a pork chop.

But I have miraculous cholesterol numbers, genetically. It does make me self-indulgent.

[EYESORE 9001]

21. My stance has changed over time

I still balk at devouring a large hunk of soft bacon fat, but I can handle the fat at the edge of a pork chop…now. I was an unapologetic ‘picker’ in my younger days. BTW, my cholesterol numbers are great too.

[pansypoo53219]

35. chewy.

[rurallib]

15. anything but #1

[mia]

22. #! makes me think of the Heimlich maneuver.

I learned from experience. Never again.

[3catwoman3]

17. 3-4.

Combination of crispy and chewy.

[jimfields33]

23. 2 thru 5 and occasionally 6 but rarely.

[Fla Dem]

24. Not a big bacon eater anymore, but would select #4.

Cooked, but still moist with a little crunch.

[hunter]

25. I only buy bacon when I have carnivorous relatives visiting...

... and then I cook it in stages and so there's a selection from 2 to 5, soft to crunchy.

I don't like the smell of burnt bacon at all. For me a "6" would ruin the entire batch.

My grandfather ate bacon, two eggs, and toast for breakfast almost every day. It may have been a reaction to the Great Depression and World War II rations. He'd fry the eggs in the bacon fat and sometimes the toast as well. That probably knocked a few years off his life but maybe he thought it was worth it.

27. I REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY LOVE BACON

[mahatmakanejeeves]

28. Just an aside. I was at the Aldi yesterday afternoon. They raised the price of bacon.

I didn't get any, but I usually don't.

[pansypoo53219]

29. 5 1/2. but need 6 for my potato salad.

[tblue37]

30. Yes, cooked. Much better than raw.

(Actually, 5--crisp.)

[haele]

31. About a 4, but baked in the oven with black pepper and

A light rush of molasses or brown sugar.
350 degrees in a pan covered with aluminum foil, over long wooden skewers to get it out of the grease for about 15 minutes.
Just crispy enough to crumble, but not burnt.

32. like this

Swedish potato pancakes (raggmunk) with wild lingonberry jam (vild lingonsylt) and bacon

[jcgoldie]

33. I'm a 3 or 4 but my wife is a 6 + ...

If you couldnt use it for coals in your grill she wants it more burnt

[Patton French]

34. 4, crispy! (n/t)
