How to cook bacon

[womanofdulwich]

Take a large plate, put bacon on it, cover with paper kitchen towel, microwave high for 2.5 mins- done. Then spray area with air freshner?!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Take a horse and ride with it under your thigh for about four hours. Should be tasty, cooked and tender.

'It' being the bacon.

You're being a bit cloak & dagger. Are we talking camping in the open air? Or cooking in a windowless underground cave?

I still say desposable bbq, or possible small camping gas stove with a pan.

If in an underground bunker, designed to live in after nuclear fall out, I'd go with the microwave... And can I come too if you know somthing we don't.

[legalbeagle]

Keef, I would tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.........

It might be. Or it might be about making bacon sandwiches in a well-known wine bar on Lordship Lane.

The nuclear bunker idea is another possibility though.

A'HA, I think you might be on to something there Jeremy...

[HonaloochieB]

A page and three posts into a meat-related thread and no one's mentioned Lady Gaga?

Standards are getting a mite too high round these parts.

Damn! I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those pesky forumites!

No... but Keef mentioned Aha, to satisfy your electro-pop needs.

Best thing LegalE is to run across the road to the caff.

[HAL9000]

LB - if Jeremy's hypothesis is correct - precook the bacon elsewhere in advance then just reheat it in a microwave as required.

[legalbeagle]

Hmmmm. I take your point HAL but that just doesn't SOUND tasty, you know?

[Jah Lush]

Oh FFS.

[HAL9000]

Why not try it before passing judgement? If it works, it should be a fairly simple solution to implement.

Let the cooked bacon cool to room temperature to prevent the rashers from sticking together then stack them in an airtight container and store under refrigeration until required.

Avoid touching the rashers with bare hands - use tongs - and they should stay fresh for a couple of days at least - but you'll need to confirm that with your food hygiene expert.

How about a rice cooker? :D

[KalamityKel]

BBQ... no?

[karter]

there is no caff now but you could ask the seacow to cook it on their lovely griddle for you.

Yes Jah. I am being fussy. Because it is so that we can serve food to the public, and if I am going to ask for your hard earned cash I'd like what I'm serving to taste nice. So I'm going to try it out, but it needs to be very good indeed before I'll put it on the menu and ask for your money.

And I make no apologies for that.

[Keef]

Couldn't you just install the extractor fan?

Not that simple.

[Keef]

There used to be these heat pouches, that you could put in a toaster. I knew a blind guy who literally used to use them to cook fish fingers. That might work...

[legalbeagle]

Thanks Keef, something else I'll look into.

And to answer the other question, we have looked into installing the extractor fan but there are planning and cost issues so I'm looking for another way.

[Jah Lush]

I'm saying a microwave oven. Believe me it works.
