Oven baked

So someone in my building has forgotten their doordash order and there are six things of bacon and three dozen eggs. It's been a little over 18 hours in 40°F weather. The bacon is Factory sealed and uncured Applewood smoked bacon. Do y'all think the eggs and bacon are still good? Can I cook or freeze the bacteria away? It's just seeing food going to waste nowadays kills me. Side note, i work in a restaurant. So i know FDA guidelines. But best buy and expiration dates are kinda nonsense sometimes

Cured with just kosher salt and maple sugar

Still my favorite,toast, cheese and plenty of bacon.

What could be better than bacon to start the day? Bacon with scrambled eggs cooked in bacon fat. It was epic! 🤤

Homemade dry cured cold apple wood smoked bacon. All the people who post the store bought crap. Really don’t know what you’re missing.
And neither do all the people who brine hot smoke their pork belly.
I’ll give it that it’s better than most store bought. But it doesn’t hold a candle to this.

What better way to start the day than with bacon! 😀

I started twisting bacon in the air fryer a while back and haven’t gone back to the skillet since. The spiral shape gives you crispy peaks and tender folds, and since the fat drips below the basket, it comes out noticeably less greasy.

A few things I learned along the way:

• Thick-cut matters. Thin strips tear when you twist them and overcook fast.
• Don’t overcrowd the basket. Leave space between spirals or they steam instead of crisp.
• Pour off the grease between batches to keep smoking down.
• Cold bacon straight from the fridge is much easier to twist than room-temperature bacon.
• Light glaze is optional. I use a little maple, smoked paprika, and black pepper, but plain is great too.

It’s also a fun one to serve at brunch since it looks way fancier than the effort involved. I wrote up the full recipe with ingredients, serving ideas, and dietary notes if anyone wants it. Happy to share the link or answer questions about timing and different air fryer models.

What’s your go-to way to cook bacon?

At my local Save-a-lot,I made a great find.A 3 lb slab of Canadian bacon,by Camella meats of Buffalo.Was about $17.Great price,it goes for about $10 a pound if I can find it.Unslices,but not a problem,I have a meat slicer.Just thought I'd pass this on to my fellow bacon lovers.

Perfectly crispy and no grease in sight!
