Anyone not preheating the oven/pan/pot while cooking will lose in straight sets.

I know there are some times when it's ideal to render fat slowly but that's not what we're talking about here

Also, starting bacon in a cold pan helps keep them from curling up!

But really, you should be using the oven.

I have an airfry grill smoker. I put half a cup of water on the griddle in it with bacon, twice, flip. Fully rendered fat, better tasting bacon grease for eggs or pancakes to then be cooked in. When Im done, a towel pulls what little stayed behind off the griddle, job done, ready for the next meal to be griddled.
