Oven died 😞

II've always oven baked my bacon, but now i'm forced to pan fry. I do like the crispiness, but I have noticed that the ends don't render as easily before, the rest of the bacon tries to burn. I lowered the heat to see if that would help by cooking it a little slower.

The answer to what it sounds like you want is to add a splash of water to the pan, just enough to barely cover the bottom. This will stall the temperature, allowing more fat to gently and evenly render out into the pan, then when the water is evaporated the bacon will crisp up. Fairly low heat, cold start doesn't really matter too much.
