So I was reading a post by @bdmillergallery, about his love for and a
New (to him) cooking method.
So, since I shared a few tips with him (but forgot one) I decided to
Make my own post. After all, I left him with the comment:

I think I'll go cook some bacon!

so I did.

To help reduce the splatter, I use this relatively deep, 'straight sided"
pan

I always shoot for THICK CUT bacon, and I prefer "Pepper" bacon
(It is literally encrusted in cracked black pepper) Don't got none now.

I cut things up with scissors as often as I can, that way I don't have
To worry about meat contaminating my cutting board.
'course, I could just cut it on a plate, but I digress

Cut into sections, usually about 2-3 inches. To me, this cooks quicker,
Browns better and makes it look like a whole lot more.

Too much for one pan to start, but as they cook they shrink

A "splatter screen" does help, but doesn't eliminate the splatter

Here's the tip I forgot

@bdmillergallery said he drains his bacon on paper towel. That is
Fine, but comparatively expensive. Coffee filters are MUCH cheaper
and just as easily disposable.


The end results, my SUPPER with sliced tomatoes
Leaf Lettuce, and some very good antipasto!
(Luckily I don't have any doggies I have to share with like @bdmillergallery does 😉)

I save the bacon drippings, for all sorts of things.


So after supper,

I take the greasy coffee filters, crumble them up

Put it in these left over sherbet containers I saved for just this
Sort of thing. Items that if you put them in your trash bin, they
Will soon begin to smell, and breed/attract pests.

Close the lid and there you are, signed sealed and ready to go out.

"Bacon, bacon, bacon forever!!"
