amateur Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) Just as a "by the way", I saw on Facebook that an American tested the best method of cooking the perfect bacon rasher. His conclusion was that sous vide, followed by a quick crisp in a frying pan produced crispy but juicy bacon and surpassed frying, grilling, griddling, oven baking, microwaving or air frying. I've not tried it yet. Edited October 21, 2023 by amateur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not tried it yet. My understanding was that 'sous-vide' was good where you wanted an even cook through a thicker item. E.g., cook a steak sous-vide to say rare, cook at 50 - 52 C for long enough to heat evenly to that temperature right through (maybe 45 minutes or longer if a thick steak), then sear the outside quickly in a VERY hot pan (or even use a flame). It works well, but I don't see it being so easy for thin cuts like bacon? I often do mt bacon on a tray in the oven if I have it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yates Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 Ditchie, I thought that 'smacked bacon' was something you used to do when entertaining Fat Sarah? 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
