Everyone vote cast iron or you are a faggot.

Oven is for real men.

[–] • 21 pts

No oven is for women! Men use Iron and Steel and fire to cook.

My wife prefers the cast iron. I prefer the oven.

The oven is easier. I don't get splattered with hot fat, super easy clean up, not to mention I can just toss in a couple pounds at one time. Crispy if you use a rack or I make an accordion thing from aluminum foil.

Ovens are for Jews and Women to make me a turkey!

Oven for lazy niggers

You sound like a chosen one.

Hell no, real men dump all bacon in foil then cover seal then toss foil in firepit coals till it smells right. Manliest is shoot hog on lawn next to fire, clean guts on lawn then roll hogg into fire and go inside for an hour, clean guts off lawn in a couple days to show your ball size and flip off anyone that complains.

Unfortunately I like to eat bacon more frequently than I like to cook a whole hog.

No hogs where i live. Ill try that maneuver with a bear and check back with ya. Bears come right into my lawn. One ripped up my 3d targets twice in one week, 30 yards from my fire pit. Motherfucker.

You are funny. Bacon isn’t kosher, how the fuck would you know how to cook it?

[–] • 0 pt

How dirty is your oven?!?!

Can’t cook a whole pound at a time like with a half sheet tray in the oven.

Cooking bacon is one of, if not the best ways to keep your cast iron well seasoned.

Cast iron in the oven.

Get out of here, you centrist!

Pointless. Use a sheet pan.

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

A regular coating of bacon grease keeps a cast iron pan happy, so not entirely pointless!

[–] • 0 pt

Nope. My skillets have spouts which I use to pour off the lard for cooking.

Fine be a faggot and lose out on the joys of a cast iron skillet over a hot fire.

Oven is my go-to for bulk bacon preparation, but I will not eschew the one-off skillet fry followed by cooking the eggs in the leftover bacon grease.

[–] • 4 pts

I really like throwing english muffins on the bacon grease skillet! Eggs don't absorb all that greasy goodness

[–] [deleted] • 4 pts

fuck yeah, no flipping on the large cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Also house is not filled with greasy air, just turn on the stove exhaust hood and crack the over a minute before opening fully to guide the grease air up to the fan above. Never burns either if you pay some attention and all the families bacon done at same time so no cooking for 40 minutes for the entire package.

THIS is the sorta serious world changing questions I come to Poal for.

[–] • 4 pts

and you clearly know that cast iron is the way to go.

[–] • 3 pts

Cast iron may be trad, but it is not technically superior.

[–] [deleted] • 8 pts

Fuck you, all the fucking ways

Because the option was omitted

[–] • 0 pt

The option is disabled for Red Barons and up.

And I add it back as a service to the community. It's not an easy life.... but it's the life I've chosen.

Thanks for your service. Here...take that oven cooked bacon slice 🥓!

the bacon grease is pure gold. pan frying on the stove is the best way to extract it and crisp up the bacon good.

[–] • 2 pts

I deep fry mine in the collected leftover grease of previous bacon cookings. Which option does that count as?

[–] • 0 pt

Pan fried, close enough to cast-iron skillet.

Lay strips just barely overlapping on aluminum foil sheet in a pan. Set oven to 425, put in while preheating, should be done in 15-20 minutes depending on your oven.

Way to know it is done is by looking to see if both layers of muscle have turned the same shade of dark red.

Fuck foil. Parchment paper master race checking in. Fucking subhuman.

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

Oven, on rack. Skillet is only for harvesting bacon fat.

Hm I should try smoking it.
