Agreed. Bacon is bacon. I prefer it where you get a nice crunch when you bite it, but its still got some good chew to it. This is between crispy and burnt, but still edible.
Well at least it’s not nearly as bad as smoking for cancer (my understanding is that burnt food increases your risk for cancer, curse you devilish yummy char!)
Can’t it be both? Certain dishes I like my bacon more overdone. A little extra crisp is delightful on sandwiches or ad a crumbled topping on a soup or salad.
Barely but... it's the beginning of burnt unless this was made on a grill. Grilled bacon hits different. Watch out for grease fires, clean the grill if you use it for bacon. Have a water spray bottle ready for bacon fires (not the grease, the bacon itself).
Top left is perfect. Top right is slightly overdone but still good. Bottom middle is mostly perfect but has some soggy center bits. Heat was slightly too high.
Why do we have to agree on ANYTHING regarding how done the bacon is?
I could care less what you think about my bacon, FULL STOP. I cook it the way I like it. If that's overdone by your standards, and I mean this in the kindest way, I DON'T CARE.
Burnt in some places and still has some fat to be rendered in others. Sub-par uneven cooking but I would still smash this entire batch without hesitation.
It all depends on what you want to use it for. More well done is better for sandwiches or making bacon bits but you want it a little less well done to just eat
Looks like it should have been pulled a little sooner so it could finish cooking on the drying rack. People forget about that aspect of cooking bacon. It continues cooking when you take it off the heat.
We all eat or bacon in different ways. I recently blanched my bacon in water. It took the salt out. I finished it in an air fryer making the crispest bacon I've had in years with very low sodium. Don't knock it til you try it.
have you tried baking it in the oven? like, it's a little burnt, but i'm sure it's tasty :) you can get it perfectly uniformly crispy on a wire rack in the oven.
Very slightly over just right
But it looks so edible
I mean... Bacon has to be really messed up for me to not grab at least 2-3 pieces
not all of it
I would eat that entire pile. With a biscuit.
I like this take.
This is the correct answer.
Absolutely correct.
I would eat this, enjoy it, and make no negative comments.
But it is slightly past perfect.
I agree.
Ill take it.
This is the correct answer.
I would not pass it up ...a little to done ..but is bacon and I'm not a little bacon bitch.
Reminds me of my derivative lyrics of Lana Del Rey. “It’s me your little bacon bitch” instead of “it’s me your little Venice bitch”
"Better a Bacon Bitch than a Basic Bitch."
”I’m not a little bacon bitch” is one of the best things I’ve heard hahaha.
Agreed. Bacon is bacon. I prefer it where you get a nice crunch when you bite it, but its still got some good chew to it. This is between crispy and burnt, but still edible.
Technically, the edges are burnt. But some people prefer it this way. Similar to how some like charred hot dogs or charred steaks.
I like my grilled hot dogs more resembling the charcoal than meat. My sister does too. My brother hates us lol
I love burnt hot dogs
I preferred that way
Over done. How bout that.
Doesn't mean Im not going to eat it though.
Pay no attention to the look on my face. It’s bacon. It’s in my mouth. I am happy.
I agree with this.
Extra done?
yeah still edible, probably not solo. This is relegated to sandwich land
I don't mind a couple charred edges.😈
My face exactly.
Perfect
Yup perfect!😋
That’s burnt for my liking
Burnt. Nope. I love crispy but this is burnt
A couple pieces are for sure burnt, and the rest are borderline.
Burnt (edges, but that's okay with me, char the edge leave the middle soft, best combo).
Burnt
I’ll say Chop it up finely and dust over-soup, cheese on toast, salad.. it’s too gone for a sandwich but can still be resuscitated for a condiment
Mayo on bread will bring it back to life.
Good in baked beans
Burnt
seriously how is anyone going to look at BLACK Food and be like "That's not burnt"
it's fine if you like it burnt, but it's clearly Burnt. Anyone with eyes can look at it
Very crispy flirting with the burnt lines bit too much
Burnt
Extra overdone
Burnt? Carbonized.
Burnt
It’s kinda burnt, but I’d still eat it. Well, most of it.
It's clearly burnt. Would still eat it
Burnt
Burnt!
Burnt
Way too crispy imo. I know that I’m probably a weirdo here but I like my bacon floppy.
Burnt
Burnt but salvagable.
Burnt
Burnt
Burnt.
Massively overcooked but I’ll still eat it rather than bin it.
Burnt
It’s a tolerable burnt
Burnt
Burnt
Burnt.
Burnt
BURNT
Too much black
between burnt and very crispy, though i dont mind
Very crispy but very edible
I think it’s secret answer number four: all of the above. But that’s just my opinion😂 I was raised on burnt food
Ditto. Middle is nice and tender, edges tastefully charred. I'd smash
Well at least it’s not nearly as bad as smoking for cancer (my understanding is that burnt food increases your risk for cancer, curse you devilish yummy char!)
Dry
Charred, but not ruined
I think it’s just right. Love a lil burnt edge mixed with the softer parts 😋
Something for everybody.
The beauty of life.
Cremated in my humble opinion
gross
Burnt
Burnt
Love burnt bacon
I'll always eat the bacon: chewy, crispy or carbonized.
A little burnt, but still good.
Yes
Ruined
A lil over done but still delicious
It has some burnt pieces and looks delicious
For me, almost burnt. For my partner, the perfect bacon
Burnt I like mine just barely cooked.
It will be good regardless
This is just right to go in potato soup, just trim the charred edges off. For eating as is, it’s a bit over done but still acceptable
Some parts are burnt, some parts are very crispy. Bacon’s bacon though, so I’d still eat it with a smile on my face.
Perfect.
I like it crispy.
Slightly over done but still delicious
Perfect
Yes
All 3 are correct. Trifecta of bacon.
Why do I have to choose?
Yes
Looks like low quality bacon, and a bit over done,
but I'd eat it.
It is more cooked than I would want it. Will that stop me from eating it? Absolutely not.
They are yum
There are pieces on this plate I would devour and there are pieces I would avoid like the plague.
How about that?
For me, way too done. Edges are going burnt, rest is too crispy. I would not eat this as-is anymore. Might be appropriate used in a separate recipe.
Yes.
It's all of those things.
Yes
It’s delicious
My girlfriend likes that type of bacon. So it’s perfect!
🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤
Excellent
It’s Cajun style. Extra crispy with blackened ends.
Great 👍
Very crispy, but just right imo
i hate my bacon crisp like that so i would say overdone but almost everyone i know would al say it’s just right 😂
Just beyond perfect IMO - Burnt edges, main section still looks slightly chewy, not raw, but not bacon dust!
Burnt 😭 i can only eat bacon like this with hella ketchup or mustard
Torched, but I've never been one to turn down bacon no matter how dead it is.
Crispy. But delicious 😋
Good bacon
Very crispy
Just right 🤤
Can’t it be both? Certain dishes I like my bacon more overdone. A little extra crisp is delightful on sandwiches or ad a crumbled topping on a soup or salad.
I eat most any bacon. I would eat this bacon so not burnt but I would cook it less if I were preparing it for myself.
Very crispy which is just right
Perfect!!!!! Just right. Anything less is undercooked. I don't eat any other meat cooked this much, but bacon is different.
I can agree to all three of those statements
Looks great to me!
Pretty damn crispy. Would work just fine in a BLT and probably even an egg sandwich but might be a little too much on its own.
Barely but... it's the beginning of burnt unless this was made on a grill. Grilled bacon hits different. Watch out for grease fires, clean the grill if you use it for bacon. Have a water spray bottle ready for bacon fires (not the grease, the bacon itself).
It’s all 3 at once.
Burnt. This won't be crispy, there's several pieces that will be hard and dry and not in a crispy nice way.
Slightly Burnt, but still very edible.
It's well past perfect.
To be fair, if you order them very crispy almost burnt, this is what you’d get. But to answer your question, they are just slightly past just right.
It’s bacon so,…
I would eat that with no complaints. Prefer a little less
Top left is perfect. Top right is slightly overdone but still good. Bottom middle is mostly perfect but has some soggy center bits. Heat was slightly too high.
Why do we have to agree on ANYTHING regarding how done the bacon is?
I could care less what you think about my bacon, FULL STOP. I cook it the way I like it. If that's overdone by your standards, and I mean this in the kindest way, I DON'T CARE.
:)
I don't care for people that claim there is only one way to enjoy something that has many choices.
I reject the premise that we have to "agree" on how we like our bacon.
Obviously, people prefer it in different ways, from wiggly to dark and crunchy.
As long as they aren't forcing it on you, who cares?
It's so easy to take some out early, and leave some longer. Why insist everyone have it the same way? Your way.
It's bacon. It's delicious. Quit being a kill joy.
For my wife and me, it's perfect! But for the rest of my family, it would be over done.
In a cast iron skillet when you’re camping, it’s probably perfect.
Any other time or cooking style, it’s pretty overcooked.
Bacon and eggs? Over, BLT sandwich? Perfect.
It’s fuckin’ perfect, mate
My involuntary salivating is indicating it looks perfect.
Burnt in a good way
Black is burnt but I would still eat it
Very crispy
For my wife it’s perfect, for me it’s well burnt.
That’s great sandwich material.
Just crispy I’d eat the fuck out of that still
It is literally burnt in every sense of the word, as evidence by the blackened burnt parts of every piece of this is not a question
Very crispy which is perfect!!
Extra crispy with a little Burny
Nothing wrong with this but usually a little bit lighter
Depends on the person. For me, overdone. For some of my friends…. Just right.
I dunno. Bacon is relative.
Partially burnt 🔥 but I’d still eat the good parts. No need to waste good bacon 🥓 😋
Yes
I think as a hole it’s fried up really well as a batch
You did not lay them flat in the skillet, which is why some of the edges got overdone being in a haphazard pile of bacon frying
That’s where those overcooked edges here and there come from
Looks like you purchased good thick quality bacon overall I give it 9/10
Great job
A bit overcooked for my preference, but I’d still eat it.
Crispy, bordering on burnt.
A sin, a waste, a person not cooking my bacon again
Burnt in some places and still has some fat to be rendered in others. Sub-par uneven cooking but I would still smash this entire batch without hesitation.
Bacon can be cooked completely black and I would still eat it.
Good for bacon bits only
I bet it's 😋
A little overdone but I would def still eat it
Perfect!
Too overcooked to me. I like mine almost fatty but not raw
Perfect.
Burnt on parts of it!
Y'all like chewing on charcoal. That's way over done.
I wouldn't complain... i like it crispy...
On the darker end of the spectrum, some crispy, mostly extra crispy and some close to burnt. Gett’n granular!
Overdone and borderline burnt. Yet it’s not even crispy if you look carefully.
It all depends on what you want to use it for. More well done is better for sandwiches or making bacon bits but you want it a little less well done to just eat
I'm eating it, but I'm disappointed it's not more chewy. But I'm still not turning it down
Still edible, good sandwich and general nomming
Looks like it should have been pulled a little sooner so it could finish cooking on the drying rack. People forget about that aspect of cooking bacon. It continues cooking when you take it off the heat.
Perfect for sandwiches... As for eating on its own or with a breakfast plate... Slightly overcooked but very edible.
Burnt. I got colon cancer just looking at this
We all eat or bacon in different ways. I recently blanched my bacon in water. It took the salt out. I finished it in an air fryer making the crispest bacon I've had in years with very low sodium. Don't knock it til you try it.
Very crispy
have you tried baking it in the oven? like, it's a little burnt, but i'm sure it's tasty :) you can get it perfectly uniformly crispy on a wire rack in the oven.
It looks delicious but I would say it's slightly past peak bacon.
Sometimes you get a weird fatty pack that doesn't cook right. This looks like a prime example of this. I'd still eat it!
I mean, it is objectively burnt. Doesn’t mean I won’t eat it though.
Just right! 👌🏽
Looks yummy to me
Perfect!!!
It is burned, but still tasty AF
It's burnt but I would still happily eat it.
That's a lil burnt, but im still gonna eat it.
Depends on what you're eating it with. Nice on BLTs. Only OK if with dry scrambled eggs. Perfect if crumbled into baked beans.
Better than wet soggy bacon
it’s very crispy.
Very crispy. But that's not burnt imo
I'll take that over floppy and chewy any day
