    If you need one of those, your pan is too hot. Bacon rarely curls if it's cooked at the proper (medium-low) temperature. Bacon grease has a low smoke point, if you're making smoke frying bacon, you're fucking up.

    This. And in addition, I have taught my daughters how to fend off an aggressive male:

    1. Gouge his eyes out
    2. Punch him in the throat
    3. Kick him in the nuts

    Actually, despite the DD inference, the best way to cook bacon is to render it first, AKA boil that pig, then crisp it up.

    Yes. Good tactic if your hands are being restrained.

    That's a really good idea. Similar to how I do brats: in the slow cooker all day simmering in beer, then brown 'em on the grill for a few minutes before serving.

    If you’re not frying your bacon using the water method, you’re doing it wrong.

    I disagree that it is frying. The method would best be described as poaching followed by frying

    The trick with baking bacon is to start the cooking in a cold oven. Heat to 400 and 7/8 minutes later, voila!
    Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.

    Interesting. Never tried that. Seems it would inject some variables. I’m usually 400 at 12/14, depending on thickness and tastes of whoever I’m cooking for.
    focus.

    The bacon's inevitably longer than the frying pan is wide, so the middle of the pieces is always more cooked than the ends when fried. Could be a feature or a bug depending on how you feel about it but it's a fact regardless. I prefer uniform crispiness from end to end.

    It makes it a little more of a pain but if you flip the bacon over halfway through baking it comes out better.

    Now more than ever you have to make sure everything is kosher. It's an essential skill to know how to conduct that conversation.

    Have you learned not to overprice shit to mags on TGR yet and spam them with your business surveys?

    Or get rid of your phone signature?

    This, if you have boys. No convincing or coercion, make sure she’s comfortable with what is going on.

    Somedays you need all 5 of these knots just to get out the door.
    LOL good point with those 5.

    You should also have a good loop like a bowline and one that tightens like a taught line or a trucker’s.

    Au contraire. Most women prefer a soft polyester rope and knots. Pull out the spring loaded tie down straps and they're like...wtf?
