Out Of Practice

Post by mattcantwin » Wed Jan 25, 2023 10:19 am

I've been trying to follow a heart healthy diet since my surgery.

I haven't eaten any bacon in over two months.

I decided to cook up some bacon to eat "sparingly".


It didn't go so well.

if you were trying to incentivize yourself to eat only a tiny bit... i'm thinking you succeeded.

I'm an "all things in moderation" kind of person when it comes to food.

The only thing I am purposefully trying to avoid is highly processed food, but even that is challenging.

British bacon or "back bacon" is pretty good if you can find it. It is meatier.

Yep... Seriously it is the sugar/carbs that does most of the damage... unfortunately our country is so dependent upon cheap corn sugar and most of the studies have been bent to vilify fat and ignore the effects of sugar. Studies are finally starting to come around now. Feel so much better when I'm on a Keto diet...

I'll remove my tinfoil hat now.

That’s a classic burn!

That said, my wife does it in the oven but I have no idea on her time and temps. I mainly use the Costco pre-cooked that only requires about 30-60 secs in the microwave.

i saw an article about "sous viding" bacon, which i'm guessing is fairly similar to getting costco pre-cooked. i've been tempted to try it.

for oven, i use the built in "bacon 101" program in my anova steam oven, which steams it first then browns it. works really well.

I use an air fryer 200c for 12-15 minutes
Eaten and cleaned up by the time a conventional oven takes.

Hey Matt, keep up the good fight. Transgressions will always occur, but climb back on that horse.

I love my sous vide cooker stick and use it all the time, but it seems like a lot of work for bacon... when the pan is sitting right there.

It does work great for pork belly though... then finish on the grill or hot cast iron.

i think the idea is you can sous vide it, then package and freeze, and then it's a quick cook whenever you want bacon since it's just a sear to crisp. i'm curious about how it would affect rendering and texture. might be great, might not. but i'm willing to risk a pound of bacon to test it at some point.

fwiw, you can package it the way i package my home smoked bacon. i take a big sheet of press'n'seal and lay it on the counter. put a slice on the end, fold it over. stack another slice on the folded piece, fold again, rinse repeat. then freeze. when it's time to make bacon, i can pop off exactly how many slices i want and leave the rest frozen. so if precooked and done that way, if you want three slices quick, just pop em off and sear them.
