18 , its basically carbon now so its halal

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

5 or 6, for sure. If you can't hold it horizontally without it flopping, it's not done enough, and if you can't hold it horizontally without it breaking from its own weight, it's too done.

[–] trublu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 hours ago

4-6 is ideal range.

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 8 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Not necessarily accurate, but here's my own interpretation:

1. Canada
2/3. Britain
4. USA
5. Ireland
6. Deep South US
7. A college dorm

...

18. Portugal

  1. I like mine atomized
[–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 2 points 11 hours ago

I like my bacon like I like my porn....black and ashy.

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Did they really need to go past 8?

[–] yilian@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 hours ago

6 and 7 are good 👍🏼

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago

Some places will slap like a 1.4 in a bun and act like their job here is done, and you’re like wha

  1. It's like eating a cracker.

Exactly what I was going to post.

I worked at a fast-food chain years ago and we had to cook bacon in the morning. The rule was to cook it to around #2 and I always cooked it to 6.

Customer: "make sure the bacon's crispy"

Me: "You have the right cook today, I only make it crispy"

Are you a vegan or do you eat pigs alive?

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Which do you think is worse?

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 hours ago

Trichinosis is a bad time.

The other one doesn't eat bacon.

damn that's tough...

Seriously though, my wife got a vegan BLT at an artisanal brewery, they had tempeh bacon where they make their own. She stopped eating it because she was worried it was real bacon (she's just pro pig). I tried it and although the texture was only 80% it was by far the best vegan product i've ever had.

18 looks good, to fire up a barbeque for grilling my veggies

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I like my pigs how I like my sexual partners: Alive and well

[–] ImgurRefugee114@reddthat.com 66 points 2 days ago (9 children)

Call me nuts but I like the 4-5.5 range. I'm not a fan of chewy fat...

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

high five

Crispy through, no chewy but not carbonized.

[–] Railing5132@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

"I said CARAMELIZED, damnit!"

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

side question

Have you had candied bacon?

I tried candied and chocolate covered candied, usually cooked to about 6.

I liked it, but after I ate it, I had no desire to have it again. It's the strangest thing.

[–] Railing5132@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Yeas, and same. :D

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 2 points 14 hours ago

I agree. I like a little crunch, and floppy bacon pulls the breakfast roll apart!

[–] socsa@piefed.social 22 points 2 days ago

This is the objectively correct answer.

For real, my wife is around 2. I like mine about 4 or 5. I want a good crunch, but she likes her bacon flaccid.

She also takes her steak at a medium. I want my steak all but still mooing.

[–] Railing5132@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

I'm sorry, but your wife is just wrong.

I mean - does she enjoy food?

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Myself, 3-5.

8 or above is charcoal, not bacon.

[–] Skylordd78@lemmy.zip 1 points 16 hours ago

I usually go for a 12 but sometimes I'll make an 9

Anakin, no!

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

19 is too crunchy.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Only 1 is proper. Then I can cook it to my liking.

[–] zeroConnection@programming.dev 34 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

It seems it self-heals a bit after #9 and reassembles back, so I would like to try that #10

[–] joyjoy@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

That's the bottom half of #9.

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Let's not be ridiculous, anything beyond #12 is unsalvageable! #9 is perfectly optimal though

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I don't understand how it starts getting better briefly after 9

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

Only went to 9, everything after that is shitpost
