In one of the cooking magazines there are instructions for cooking bacon in
water. It says to put in skillet with enough water to cover. When the water boils lower heat to medium. Once water is gone turn heat to medium low and cook until crisp. Has anyone ever heard of this and tried it? |

It leaches all the salt and flavor out of the bacon and leaves it burnt onto the bottom of the pan. Stick with the oven-sheet pan-optional rack method, especially if you want to cook any sort of quantity (more than 7 ounces at a time). -sw what he said. I cook a lot of bacon at one time in the oven. Then I keep it in the fridge for uses all week. It's the best methodology for perfectly done bacon. |

I have a 14" pan with high sides (more like a chicken fryer) that can easily cook a whole pound of bacon at a time... the high sides cut way down on spatter. |

This is not new - my wife, whose mother was Welsh, grew up on boiled bacon and hates it (and still talksa about it)to this day. There is nothing good about this, save the fact that the "recipe" you cite has you cook it until the water is gone and then you get to fry it as the good Lord intended. If you see someone doing this, scream and run away. -S- |

Many times I will soak bacon in water overnight before frying which makes it taste more like side pork, but I have never actually cooked it in water. Cheri |

Yes, but I bring the water maybe half way up the side. It helps to cook it through and once the water is gone, you can get the casing done. |

The amount of bacon fat in the fryer is negligible. And bacon fat doesn't taste much like bacon assuming the fryer filter is doing it's job. Fryer filters remove particulates which burn and prematurely destroy he oil. They do not remove flavor and smoked bacon has a heavy hickory aroma which you cannot get rid of. I thought you were too busy inventing the INternet to be working in a restaurant for any length of time? I am a multi-tasker. I worked all through college. 40-50 hours a week. |

Fryer filters remove particulates which burn and prematurely destroy he oil. They do not remove flavor and smoked bacon has a heavy hickory aroma which you cannot get rid of. No need to dispose of it, the deep fryer used for bacon is drained and that fat is stored in the walk-in reefer until the next batch of bacon needs cooking. Restaurants will cook a week's worth at a time and store it in the fridge for use as needed, then they reheat a portion or three in a small amount of hot oil, typically a sauce pan with a fry basket. I deep fried bacon to feed 400 every day. There is no other way to fry that much bacon from raw to feed so many in forty minutes. Restaurants that do a large breakfast business (like IHOP, HoJos, etal.) do exactly the same. And used cooking fat isn't wasted, it's sold to fat brokers who guard their route, there's big bucks in used cooking fat, plus it's illegal to dump it with waste water or in landfills. Used cooking fat is reclaimed and used for many everyday products, from dried animal feed, to cosmetics, all kinds of soaps, etc. Dried animal feed uses more reclaimed cooking fat than all other uses combined. Lipstick is reclaimed cooking fat. |
