Bacon in the Oven (No splatter method) vs Pot on the Stovetop method.

[@Brii.Z]

I normally cooked bacon this way, either on parchment or aluminum foil in the oven. Last week I used the Dr Ken Berry Method in a ninja foodie 7qt pot. Cooked a whole pack of thick-cut bacon. Turned out perfectly. I'll probably never bother to bake or fry bacon again. It's just too easy in the pot, and it's even easier to pour out and store the grease after.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Glad you loved it in the pot! It is just so easy. Thanks for watching!

[@jeannedigennaro6484]

I agree. The oven gets greasy from the bacon. I love the stovetop in a pot method.

[@creole75]

I bake mine on extra wide foil to keep grease from seeping onto the pan then use paper towels to pat the strips dry and the same paper towels to lay in the pan soaking up the grease. Roll up the foil and done. No mess.

[@brazil7028]

I actually laughed out loud when you said you like to cook it on the Blackstone outside that way you don't get the smell. OMG how can anyone not love the smell of bacon through the whole house lol.

[@MarkDuff-o8v]

My thoughts exactly!! I absolutely love the smell of it.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Well only down side to your house smelling like bacon is if you’re meal prepping for the week and friends come over and smell that bacon, they’re going to say “Did you make bacon? Any left?“ 😂

[@marcusv7881]

​@@AnimalBasedInYourFace I agree! Haha! I cook bacon 3-4x a week. You def start smelling it in/on everything. Can't wait to try your oven method! I've been doing the pot method but I always end up burning some on the bottom every time! I'll try my luck with the oven.

[@proudamerican8038]

I no longer cook with aluminum foil. It may leach into your food. I now use parchment paper only.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

I agree it will probably turn out to be harmful. I know studies have shown it certainly is in antidepressants.

[@terised]

Lowering the heat to 375 stopped my bacon from popping and splattering in the oven. Parchment works better than foil for me.

[@Justme77400]

I just recently started to cook my bacon this way. On a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. 425 for about 20 minutes or keep an eye on it until it’s done to your liking. No more splatter and getting burned!!! Perfect every time.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

The cold oven and parchment paper on top really helps with the splatter.

[@tyrehester5550]

My wife cooks it on a screen on a foil covered pan. 20 minutes at 400 degrees. Take it out and flip the bacon, cook for 20 minutes more. Let it cool and pour off the bacon grease and save for later in the fridge. Yum 😋 usually cooks 2 Lbs at a time.

[@JoeHusosky]

I cook 8 lbs of bacon a week (while not keto on snacks on bacon) so oven is the only way doing it all at once. I use the costco wide AL foil that lets me enrobe the whole trays (no mess just pull off the sheets when done). Cook it all to stiff no chrispy, my son eats them cold and I toast them a bit as needed all week. Roll them up in paper towels. BOGO bacon on mondays at the fresh market. Never an issue with splater.

[@rancancookcanoy9768]

Thank you for sharing different methods of cooking bacon. I cook a lb of bacon every day on the blackstone. The only drawback with cooking on the blackstone is you don’t get to save the bacon grease as I cook other meats on our blackstone as well.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Yes that is the drawback I agree. We have some silicone grease holders we bought for our blackstone. If we are cooking up 3 or 4 pounds of bacon, I will put a new silicone grease holder in and capture the grease. But it always has a darker color and never as white as this method. You maybe able to filter the grease thru a coffee filter and get it white and clean. Thanks for watching and be sure and subscribe for more videos my friend.

[@optionout]

I use heavy duty wide aluminum foil, doubled up, so don't get ANY grease on pan.

[@hookem7030]

There's a stove top method of covering the bacon w water, set on low temp, let water evaporate and fry to doneness. It's on KZbin somewhere.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Yes we did this and it cooks the bacon slower by having the water added. It makes a chewier bacon slice.

[@jeannedigennaro6484]

I will try the parchment paper cover in the oven. There is less waste with the pot method.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Yes and clean up is a little easier.

[@KerbyDaFrog]

Mmmm bacon... been doing my bacon this way for years

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Thank you for watching!

[@JoeBizzle]

I almost never cook my bacon anymore. I dehydrate it instead. Lasts longer and tastes great.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Interesting. How do you go about dehydrating yours? Method you use?

[@JoeBizzle]

@@AnimalBasedInYourFace I just buy thick cut bacon, single layer per tray, 160 degrees for about 5 or 6 hours. I flip them and pat excess grease with a paper towel every couple hours. They end up more chewy than fried or baked, but they last longer too. Great for a snack that doesn't need refrigerator.

[@heidimatlock6942]

I use my Liquid Gold (bacon grease) to make cast iron skillet fried corn bread, fried cabbage, fried potatoes, eggs, fried southern corn, pancakes, steaks, pork chops, etc.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

If you ever fry or scramble eggs in bacon grease you will never do it another way 😋

[@VathSophanin]

Good recipe

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Thank you for watching

@@AnimalBasedInYourFace Welcome 🤗

[@EffieG-ez9tf]

Have you tried microwaving bacon between layers of paper towels? Be sure to first spray the paper towels with Pam before laying down the bacon or it will stick. I have cooked as many as 5 layers this way. Be sure to flip the stack over halfway through because the bottom cooks up faster than the other layers. It is messy cooking, too, but bacon is worth it! ☺️

[@LdeBluEyes]

If you make your parchment paper just a little bit bigger than the size of the cookie sheet. When you put the bacon on it, it'll gather all the bacon grease at the bottom so you don't have to scrub out the sheet so much.

[@EffieG-ez9tf]

Question: Couldn’t you put some paper towels in the pan FIRST, then put down the parchment paper, then the bacon, then the top layer of parchment paper? That would soak up more of the mess left in the pan. You could do the same thing under the foil, too. Less mess.

[@ronaldoberne4221]

in oven ( professional) great for whole sliced, pot i yet to do look great for 1/4 - 1/2 slices (Berry method), i am training chef.

[@HML-it7te]

Amazing:)

[@johnnycrash3270]

OH DARN I did not see this VIDEO before I posted my last Comment! but never thought of the Parchment paper to cover the Bacon straight on the pan No in /out of the oven / flip + you still have the grease Must try that 🤗 Homemade Mashed Potatoes / Brockley & corn with a little hot Bacon grease

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

The paper catches the popping and splatter.

[@johnnycrash3270]

[@melaniehoshall6942]

Even better than aluminum foil is to just use the baking sheet. Aluminum has been implicated in Alzheimer's. Bacon is worth the effort of cleaning a pan. I will try the parchment on top. I'll lose some of the bacon grease, but I'd rather clean a baking sheet than an oven. I had a professional chef tell me about using a baking sheet to get crispy bacon.

[@jw77019]

Aluminum causing Alzheimer’s was debunked years ago.

[@optionout]

If I use oven method, I put aluminum foil on bottom for easy quick clean up, but put bacon on baking sheet so air flows all around.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Nice! Thanks for watching.

[@carolestevenson1051]

Cooking bacon methods is like looking for the holy grail, lol. Do you use thick-cut bacon vs regular? The "pot" method with my "thin" very lean bacon in a "not-the-greatest" pot resulted in less than hoped-for results. The pot is important, I recognize that, however, there didn't seem to be enough "fat" to cook the bacon and the thin slices led to it breaking up pretty easily after it started to crisp. Also, wouldn't using a covered cast iron skillet work the same way as a pot? Anyway, thanks for your videos!!

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Yes cast iron or a Dutch oven will work. We use thick cut bacon. If you do thin in the pot I would put an inch of bacon grease in first and get it hot then the thin bacon. It won’t fall apart and basically deep fry. Thank you for watching!

[@optionout]

Cooked bacon in Dutch oven, stove top first time today. Must have had the heat up too high at first, some pieces stuck to bottom, burned. Have to start lower heat next time. Usually cook bacon in oven, turns out fine, but pot method quicker, easier, imo.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Yes you have to watch it because every pot and stove cooks differently. SS heats up super fast and cast iron is slower. When you do it a few times you’ll get to know the right temp.

[@ronaldoberne4221]

heavy -duty is better for no grease getting pan non/low greasy

[@terrym3788]

Oh heck dude, who wouldn't want the smell of bacon in their house lol

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

😂👍🏻

[@suevanpatten5828]

Using the wide aluminum foil eliminates the pan clean-up problem.

[@insomniahobbies]

Man, I like my bacon soft and somewhat undercooked. I like to suck on the fat.

[@phil2young]

I cook mine at 350, I prefer it bacon with the fat fully cooked and not crisp.

[@Jas-wd9zh]

Put it on a wire rack!

[@40083svene]

I would remove it quickly from the fat.

[@gloriasmith5764]

I must be missing something. Is this a special meat diet? I love meat, but i hear we must cut back on cholesterol. Please Educate Me!!

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

Animal based way of eating yes. Cholesterol is not bad for you. Your body needs it to make almost every hormone in your body. I would suggest looking at some videos and educating yourself on just how we have all been lied to for years for the profit of the pharmaceutical companies. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYPXnZ2Fp6l5ptksi=UdeDtE-DTipG6RcV kzbin.info/www/bejne/bprTk56tr96ClZosi=uZ1rVGtwpgv3zwZf What is an Animal Based, Carnivore, Ketogenic and Ketovore Diet? kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2m6aIOqhKd3qdk

[@billmerrell2797]

If I were to open my oven that many times it would pour out so much heat in my house my A/C would be working double time. In the summer in Central Florida, I would have to cook it after the sun goes down. I'll go with the pot method and turn on the vent.

[@g4l430]

As far as I can tell you only said that aluminum foil cooked a little quicker. Where there any other differences? I'm not interested in the cleaning or collection of grease... Only the quality of the bacon.

[@AnimalBasedInYourFace]

We prefer the bacon cooked in the oven over all other methods we have tried. We love the texture of it. We like to undercook it a little so it heats up better in the air fryer and doesn’t get over cooked. We cook big batches for meal prep.
