(17,175 posts)My mother's old cast iron skillet just managed to zizz and spit all over the rangetop (and me).
The indoor grill is just too much trouble to set up -- even for bacon.
I got a neat little microwave thing where you hang the slices like towels on a rod. Worked well, if you like soggy bacon. It's now out in the trash, waiting to be picked up tomorrow.
Tried my toaster oven. But I was so afraid of a grease fire that it just barely got warm before I chickened out and took the bacon out.
I could get the pre-cooked stuff to work okay, but it's even more expensive than the regular stuff.
Then I found this site: http://theimprovkitchen.blogspot.com/2012/08/tip-how-to-cook-bacon-easy-way.html . Apparently, a lot of people have cooked bacon this way for a long time. And then there are the burnt-water types like me who'd never heard of it. (Read the comments to see variations on the theme.)
So if this doesn't work, I'll probably just give up and settle for my spinach-and-pepperoni smoothies.
