BACON FOR THE FAMILY OR A CROWD

This is the way to get crisp bacon without having to constantly turn it, watch over it, or get burnt by splatters of grease. It 'fries' up flat and doesn't curl, which looks great beside a breakfast plate of eggs, and makes BLT sandwiches much easier. Very nice when feeding a family or crowd.

DINER-STYLE BACON FOR A CROWD

There are so many things to love about this fast technique, which nods to the French confit method of cooking meat in its own fat. You'll get about 40 strips of par-cooked bacon that get crispy in mere minutes. And delicious bacon-flavored oil you can use to make a vinaigrette or cook pancakes. But the best part is the shape of the bacon itself-it cooks up like a child's drawing of bacon-long, red, flat strips that don't curl and are perfect for sandwiches or alongside fluffy clouds of scrambled eggs.

Time 45m

Yield Serves 12-15

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 pounds bacon
3 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • If using a top-down broiler, arrange rack on second-to-top rung. Heat broiler on high.
  • Arrange bacon, fat side up, in 2 layers in a 13x9" metal baking dish. Pour oil over; bacon should be mostly submerged. Broil, checking often and watching carefully, until fat is partially rendered and edges start to crisp on top layer, 15-20 minutes. Transfer dish to a wire rack.
  • Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium. Working in batches, remove bacon from oil, letting oil drip back into dish, and cook until crisp, about 2 minutes on each side.
  • Bacon can be broiled 5 days ahead. Cool submerged bacon completely in dish, then cover and chill.
