There are copper grill sheets that don’t let the melted fat drip into the grill. Plus vegetables and small items, like shrimp, don’t fall through the grates. Highly recommended.

I cure and smoke my own bacon... this summer my wife and son decided to grow some heirloom tomatoes, from seeds. When they were ripe, we had BLTs with some of my bacon and their home grown tomatoes. I can't recall the last time I had a meal that good. Making your own bacon and eating it with fresh off the vine heirloom tomatoes, on some good toasted sourdough bread is such a simple but amazingly delicious meal.

Thank you for being you Kenji, I absolutely adore how great you are at presenting and educating about food, but even though its a small thing what I love is how inclusive you are as a person. I'm non-binary, and hearing "Guys gals and non-binary pals" never ceases to bring me joy, and your painted nails constantly give me hope that we can rise above these silly expectations. 🥰🥰🥰

I have that same Oxo Good Grips salad spinner and I hate it, the housing of the spinner part extends down into the bowl so you either crush your lettuce or you can't put very much in it. And compared to the dollar store spinner that it replaced, which had a rope-pull, you have to very aggressively smash down on the pusher (as Kenji demonstrated) to get it to spin fast enough to remove the water.

​@@jasonsando549 that's probably intentional design, though. Any salad in the middle will not be affected by the sentripetal force and the spinning will not have any effect. Better to pack the bowl lightly towards the sides. Also, I think my OXO spinner is a bit larger than Kenji's, maybe they come in different sizes.

I probably commented this on your last bacon episode, but the best bacon I've ever had went like this... Get a slab of bacon and cut strips as wide as it is thick. Then grill them, turning constantly to avoid excessive flair ups until it's nice and crispy on the outside. Then slice it about a quarter of an inch thick and enjoy. It's nice and crispy on the outside, nice and juicy on the inside and about the size of a Starburst candy. Best thing ever. I did this first on a whim at a barbecue in Cam McCalls backyard in Aptos. Shout out to the Corrolitos Meat Market for the slab bacon!

I agree with Deb, the tomatoes should always form the middle layer to avoid sogginess. They may not be in contact with the mayo, but so what. Once a bite is in your mouth all the ingredients come together anyway.
