Which cooking method gives the leanest bacon?
I've recently discovered the joy that is baking bacon. It's made me curious: does baked bacon render out more fat than pan-fried? How about microwaved?
Best Answer
It believe is more a question of temperature than technique. Low and slow typically renders more fat. When I want a maximum amount of fat rendered out I place thinly sliced bacon in a pan and cover with cold water. I then place over medium-high until the water has evaporated and then some depending on how crispy I want the bacon to be.

Which is the healthiest way to cook bacon?
Both grilling and frying yield bacon with a meaty aroma, crispy crust, and savory flavor. Grilling is trickier as your grill can flare up and burn the bacon. Pan-frying is easier but doesn't impart the bacon with the smoky, woody smell of grilling. Which method to go for boils down to your personal preference.What is the best way of cooking bacon?
