baking bacon

So we survived the first week of the New Year! How is everyone doing? No nukes yet and all my trees are still standing. I’m stocked up with supplies and ready for the next round of rain. I hope you are too. It’s going to be wild tomorrow morning.

Part of hunkering down is cooking (at least while one still has gas/electric). Today, eye of round is on the menu for me. (RSVP?) I realized I didn’t have a baking rack so I googled how to get around that. During the search, I hit upon this little gem of a video (less than 2 minutes) that I’ve posted below about making your own kitchen tool.

I usually make bacon in the oven, on a cookie cooling rack, with tinfoil covering the bottom of the pan. After cooking, I can let the pan sit until the grease hardens and throw away the tinfoil to make clean up easier. But I always needed to soak the rack to get all the cooked bacon off of it.

How to Bake Crispy Bacon – How to Cook Bacon in the Oven

For the full How to Bake Bacon Recipe with ingredient amounts and instructions, please visit our recipe page on Inspired Taste: https://www.inspiredtaste.net/8008/how-to-bake-bacon/ Baking bacon in the oven is easy, there’s no spluttering of oil and it makes crispy slices of bacon heaven. It’s also perfect for making big batches for a crowd!

You will never want bacon cooked any other way. I think you’ll thank me if you’ve not already tried cooking bacon this way at home.

So here’s the ingenious video I came across today that solves the cooling rack problem. Voilà!

How to Make a Baking Rack | Food & Wine

F&W’s Justin Chapple demonstrates how to easily make your own baking rack. Take a sheet of aluminum foil and turn it into an accordion shape. That way, you can place the foil rack onto a baking sheet and cook your bacon on top of the foil. Subscribe to FOOD & WINE YouTube channel.

If you’re curious, I solved the problem of needing a baking rack for my roast by wadding up tin foil in uniform balls and placing in them in the bottom of the pan to set the roast on top of.

BTW, Costco has very good prices on double packs of eye of round. It is an inexpensive cut of meat, but if cooked properly, it’s quite delicious. You know it as delicatessen style roast beef.

Bon Appétit, bacon buddies. And stay *high* and dry this weekend.

Thank you for reading today's post. Have an InterStellar Day! ~PrP

    Yes, I could have talked about the shit show in the House of Representatives today. The 15 separate rounds of voting it took for McCarthy to win speaker. Gaetz had previously said he would resign if dems made an agreement w repugnants. If only that happened! Instead, tRump rallied the troops, aided by his lead female ass licker, MT Greene. (You know Melanie is a pillow princess and refuses that role, literally.)
    But what does the clown show tell you about the repugnant party? tRump is definitely still their leader. And, if these lawsuits against him don’t put him in jail or require him to recuse himself from politics, its going to be an awful November 2024. But, I really can’t anymore. I’m so disgusted with US politics.

    OMG. Thank you for this post. I love bacon and this is just incredible. And your House of Reprehensibles was equally good.

    AI-generated art is appearing everywhere, but that’s only the beginning. Microsoft recently released a new artificial intelligence tool called VALL-E, which is similar to DALL-E but for voices. After listening to just three seconds of audio, VALL-E can replicate any voice.

    Me too. For the bacon and HOr comment.

    If you want to be an earthling, remember they are born inferior, they live a life of destruction to themselves or their environment, and they die inferior, not much changes in between.

      But what a wild ride! The pleasure of the senses is undeniable. There’s much to enjoy.

      • B]6 says:

        I agree. Sex with earthlings is exhilarating! And sharing some of their feelings for their causes can be just as exciting. Those who love their planet and want to preserve its environment give me a joy I cannot explain.

    I don’t pretend to know everything about being with humans, but they have a thing called sin. It corrupts their existence between them and their fellow humans. There is a special species of sin known as greed. It corrupts absolutely.

  8. Janice says:

    There is this sin called lust. What goes down in the heat of passion or just plain stupidity, can haunt a body forever.

    “Since our universe has a flat geometry with a zero net energy, an advanced civilization could have developed a technology that created a baby universe out of nothing through quantum tunneling,”

    • F9] says:

      None of that is true. Your inferior mathematics and inability to traverse the known Universe makes you ignorant to its reality.

      • S[6 says:

        They imagine they can converse with us as equals. The inanity of suggesting the capability to creating a universe by a species that barely knows anything about the one they live in borders on an arrogance that will stick with them for an eternity, no where we take them. I say leave them to die in the filth, disease and nuclear destruction they will bring upon themselves.

        • F9] says:

          A bit harsh, but you are right about their penchant for self destruction. Here in California their cigarettes companies are advertising cigarettes the taste good to circumvent Californian’s ban on menthol and flavored cigarettes. These creatures are willing to destroy the health of people for profit.

      Be patient. It is probably Your means of accessing the Avenue that causes your problem.

    Using stolen user IDs, passwords, PINs and token codes, bad actors can access your online banking accounts and transfer money out.

    Reduce your risk by:

    Setting up multi-factor authentication.
    Monitoring your accounts daily.
    Implementing dual custody.

    Did You Know?

    Honey crisp apples were developed by the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station’s Horticultural Research Center at the University of Minnesota in 1974 and has, thanks to runaway popularity, generated over 10,000,000 dollars in patent royalties for the school.
