Maybe this is a British thing, but I always grill my bacon. (IIRC is
called something different in the states, I do not mean bar-b-que.)
Nice crisp bacon, grease and white salt/water goo (can't afford dry-cure
all the time) in the grill pan.

Also for whoever was asking about dry-cure in the UK, Tesco actually
sells decent stuff for the same price as their 'Wilshire cure'.
Different weight / packet but the difference is the water and salts.
