Bacon: Crispy or Limp?

[Cru]

Which is better?

(Yes I used "limp" because of the negative connotation because I like Crispy, and want it to win)

crispy bacon is an abomination. its almost as unforgivable as cooking a steak or a burger well done.

It really depends on the application. On sammiches I prefer a not burnt crispy. But eating breakfast I kind of like the limp kind. But in all honesty, bacon is bacon and I have gotten spoiled and lazy with the hormel pre cooked stuff from SAMs club. So I choose not to vote one way or the other.

Limp. That is all.

Crispy doesn't HAVE to be burnt. It's a fine line, it takes talent. You cook it to JUST the right point where it's still got "snap" but is not over done. I hate fatty chewy limp bacon. Gross.

I vote both! You can't go wrong with bacon.

But if I had to choose I would go with crispy.

This Bacon needs to be crispy but not burnt.

Bacon must be crispy, not burnt, but not so underdone that it falls over no itself!!!

Bacon's bacon. However, I tend to cook it to the point of not quite crisp. My son won't eat crispy bacon yet. I know, I know, how can that be? MY son and bacon? I blame his father who won't eat bacon at all

Baby steps guys, baby steps

Put it this way, if you are used to cheap, paper-thin bacon that's mostly fat and takes longer to separate than it does to cook, you have no choice but to go crackly-crispy. However, if you like the thicker cuts, then you can experience a meatier and juicier flavor that can only be achieved through the "limp" product.

I get the thick bacon, cover it in maple syrup, then cook it. Yummy.

I prefer it crisp, but not burnt. But will eat it anyway I can get it

Carmelized in brown sugar, drizzled with bourbon FTW!

You guys haven't had good bacon until you've had it straight from the farm. YUM YUM Thin and crisp or Thick and chewy...it's all better than anything you can get from the store.

 

[Chrolle]

I like bacon, with very little gristle. Now I'm getting hungry!
