[@ketoauntie7301]

BTW: some now cook their bacon in an Air Fryer, less messy & the bacon grease falls through the top plate holes so you can easily save it. The cooking plate prevents the oil from splattering all-over too.

[@SzechuanChickenDog]

Debating on making bacon right now... 10 min after midnight and I'm 172 hours into a fast ... But I have to find the perfect food... I've never made it past 5 days so now, being past 7.... I'm struggling to find what in the world I want to break this fast with... Any ideas? Thinking about cabbage and bacon... Since it's still keto... But also have a couple huge chucks on the ready, lamb, ribeye, and a ton of grass fed burgers... Don't know if I want to stay zero carb or have a handful like that cabbage ... Lost about 16 pounds in these 7 days ... I want to keep fasting but I am getting pretty hungry and fairly weak ... Ahhhhhh... Still to undecided too eat.... Great video

[@DaBurghSteelers]

​@@SzechuanChickenDog Is this your first fast? You might want to break the fast with just Bone Broth & a few eggs. Your stomach isn't use to food to digest a ribeye right away

[@SzechuanChickenDog]

@@DaBurghSteelers I've done hundreds but never past 5 days. And the 5 day fasts I ate several pounds of red meat with no issues. This was just more me watching tons of food videos 1. Because I'm hungry and 2. Because I'm an obsessive over planner but usually that means junk food binges. So I'm trying to at least eat real food and not binge. I definitely struggle with it. I'm dry brining a large chuck now. So I'll probably eat that but I still don't know what I'll eat it with... As long as it's not junk food I'll be happy 😂😂

[@lindseyhowell5302]

I used to eat a pound of ribeye steak every day at lunch but noticed that I was getting hungry at night and needed something to hold me over. I also noticed how expensive eating steak was. At Sam's Club in my area, it was almost $15 a pound. Frying up bacon in a pan was a pain, so I refrained from doing it. Then, I discovered your method, and that has changed EVERYTHING for me. I buy 4 pounds of bacon at Sam's for $24 dollars and eat one pound per day, usually all in one sitting. The amazing thing is, I now have absolutely NO cravings for any additional food at night, making my 23-hour fasting sustainable and enjoyable. Whenever I would need to eat at night I would feel guilty for not having the discipline to fight the hunger cravings, but now...yep...no guilt. I recognize that it has nothing to do with discipline. Rather, it has everything to do with giving my body the necessary ingredients to keep it satisfied. Thank you, Dr. and Mrs. Berry.

Okay, I have seen this video several times and just tried it tonight. My Lord, what took me so long? This is the BEST method I have ever used for cooking bacon. The bacon was fantastic and I have never cooked so much bacon so quickly, and never seen such a small amount of mess/clean up afterwards. I sure wish I had a Dr. Berry near me. My doctor told me again today that my cholesterol was a bit high, so I came home and had bacon and eggs for dinner. She said it was because of my high fat ketogenic way of eating. I told her I was 58 and never felt better in my life. 🙌🤷‍♂️😂

She wouldn’t say it to my face, but put in the notes that my cholesterol numbers were looking much better and to keep doing what I was doing. So, I had a big ribeye for dinner that night, and more bacon and eggs for breakfast the next day. 🎉 BTW, She is in her early 30s and about 30 lbs overweight. Maybe I should be HER doctor. 🤷‍♂️

So EASY!!! I cooked up a pound tonight as I was hardboiling some eggs. NO MESS! I can't believe how evenly it all crisps up with the stirring, and lid on for entire time! by the end the great bacon oils are deep frying the bacon chips so perfectly! I chill my bacon grease in a flat tin on parchment in the freezer; then break it into wafers that I stack in a tupperware I keep in the freezer. It never freezes hard and I grab a wafer or three when I cook anything; to fry in or add seasoning to veggies. I always have plents of bacon grease wafers!

No more wasting grease on paper towels. Let me say that again: NO MORE WASTING VALUABLE BACON GREASE ON PAPER TOWELS. (Sacrilege!)

[@monstermcboo7282]

This is how I’ve made bacon for years, only I start it with a little water in the bottom to first boil/steam render the maximum amount of fat, prevent burning, and improve the crisp texture of the finished product. The water cooks completely out, of course. The rendered bacon fat doesn’t have an over-browned flavor AT ALL. I love it!

[@karenf9137]

Thanks!

[@wholesomehodgepodge5103]

@Monster McBoo I'm going to try the water. I've been cooking it like this, as well, but always get burnt bits on bottom.

[@monstermcboo7282]

Make sure your pot is nice and thick on the bottom. That helps a lot. Honestly, I’ve been doing it in the 6-quart instant pot for so long that I may not even be able to make the bacon on the stove anymore. I use my IP as a regular cooking pot more than I use it as a pressure cooker. 😬

[@ronnied1380]

Pro tip, take lid off straight up then over for no splatter. We tend to tilt the lid immediately which causes the moisture on the lid to gather and roll off and into the hot bacon grease, causing a flare up or hot splatter.

I just cooked up 2 packs of bacon using your method. 🤯 This is AWESOME!! I drained my chips in the cast iron skillet instead of on paper towels so the skillet could absorb the extra grease. Also fixed green beans in the bacon pot after pouring off the grease. The moisture from the green beans deglazed the pot (stainless steel) so no soaking or scrubbing! Finally, I scooped out the tablespoon or so of tiny crumbles from the grease to mix in stuffed eggs. Now I need to buy more bacon so I can do it all again! ❤️

When done I put the bacon on a paper towel and then when it cools J just keep it in a zip lol lol bag or container in the fridge. I just eat it cold if hungry or heat up what I want.

Nice one! Over here in Croatia we mostly make chvarci (čvarci) in a similar way. Deskin the firm pigs fat, cut it in cubes and cook it on medium until they shrink and get golden brown color. After that if one likes extra crispy we put it in a press and squish the fat out. Of course fat is collected and stored to use with everything. It is similar to chicharrons but no skin and no meat, because meat gets to hard to bite in that procedure. Meat goes to sausages. And with skin I make pork rinds or add pigs feet an d head and cook it low and slow. After it cools down it gelatins, and we eat it like cold dish. One can put eggs inside or any vegetable.

Oooooooh that sounds great!

I was just getting ready to do my dreaded bacon frying. After watching this, no more messes! Thank you guys!

[@keeto56]

I never thought of cooking my bacon in a large pot like that. Thanks for sharing. Also, beautiful family.

[@tejastrojan]

I love his enthusiasm. 🤗

[@TheKiwibirder]

Love it! No mess, and the deeper layer of rendered fat allows you to get the bacon crispy without any of it blackening and leaving charred bits in the grease.

[@julimartin3312]

Excellent! I just discovered (accidentally- I couldn’t find the splatter screen, so just grabbed a solid pot cover) the “no messy stovetop” trick a few months ago myself... but have never even considered cooking the entire package all at once, in a pot. Thanks so much for sharing- You have successfully shifted your viewers’ paradigm concerning cooking bacon!😃

[@patrickodonovan5066]

Dear Doctor Berry and Neisha: thank you for putting this together. Another helpful and fun-loving vlog episode. Thank you.

[@beckywilliams1388]

I will never cook bacon the same again ! Thank you for sharing this ! Your baby girl is TOO cute !

[@suemeeks1229]

You just made my day with this video. We love, love, love bacon in our household. But we always here how bad it is for you! I do use bacon grease to fry my potatoes and in my pinto beans. So So happy that BACON is good for us!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you Dr. Berry & Neisha

[@BagsOfLuv]

Love cooking with Neisha and Dr Berry…Love this idea I’m gonna have to use turkey bacon though but I’ll cook with butter …I can see using the bacon bits with hard-boiled eggs with a little bit of Dijon mustard and mix…that would be so good. Yummy 😋

[@andyandcallie]

Ooh that sounds good! I'm going to try that! Thanks!

[@heatherp2667]

That's how I cook my fatty beef too. In a deep pot. I got tired of grease ruining my clothes and kitchen. ( I'm too lazy to wear an apron). Bacon on a sheet pan lined with foil in the oven is also good. I use the foil to create a funnel to poor off the bacon grease into a mason jar. I still love watching y'alls bacon curl in the fry daddy video.

[@hopefulforhumanity5625]

I finally bought cute aprons to save my clothes.

[@nancycy9039]

Do you cook the beef in it’s own fat or in bacon fat? Which cuts of beef? Please and thank you!

[@chip582002]

I love it, I've always cooked my bacon crispy and I cut the packs in half. Never thought of cutting it in quarters but I will be trying that the next time. I keep waiting for someone to mention what we've always called rumaki (guessing at spelling) which is chicken livers wrapped in bacon and then baked until crispy. Great!!!!! Appetizer and snack.

[@praeeo]

Never would have thought to use a taller pan/pot... brilliant! I've been baking mine and saving the grease, but I like your way of doing it! I'm going to have to try it out.

[@aurawright2130]

Going to have to try this. We deal with bacon splatters almost daily! 🙂👍🏼

[@sharongrubbs5505]

Aw Niesha he's adorable..I know my Melissa sure loves the heck out of him..I also love crispy..

[@lisasummerlin3238]

Omg, ha! I thought I was the only one. I cut mine the same way. 4 cuts! Great minds think a like😁! However, I cook mine in a black skillet in the oven. So freakin crispy. I will try it your way to see which I like best! Thanks for sharing. I appreciated ya'll! 🥰

[@rebeccakalyani2486]

You know I never thought of putting my skillet in the oven. That would be another great way to make bacon. Can any normal skillet go in the oven say at 3:50 for 20 minutes? Normally what I have done is put a piece of tinfoil down on a cooking sheet and baked it that way. So I hadn’t been saving the bacon grease. But I will now.

[@pattysmallwood2408]

Definitely going to try this! I bake mine in the oven @ 425* covered with a sheet of parchment paper but it still gets grease all in the oven. This may just be the answer to no more greasy mess! Thank you for sharing! Chef’s kiss on this for sure!

What a great idea. Thank you for sharing. We are starting the carnivore diet on Friday and bacon is our #1 item, so thank you very much!!!

Made Bacon chips today! OMG, why didn’t I think of this before? Brilliant! ❤️🥓❤️🥓❤️🥓❤️🥓❤️🥓❤️🥓❤️

This is exactly the way I’ve been cooking it. It keeps my kitchen floor from getting slippery from all of those hot pops from a shallow frying pan. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I actually have been doing my bacon in the oven lately. But, this recipe looks way too good to pass up. I'm sold. I am going to sprinkle bacon bits on top of these to finish it off. After all, what's better than bacon than MORE bacon!? Keep up the great vids and info!

[@molsonice2473]

This is genius, ive been missing chips and salsa, trying to figure out what i could substitute the chips with. Bacon is perfect! Cant wait to try it, why couldn't i think of this lol. Love watching your channel started my health journey of ketovoure a few weeks ago, and ive already dropped 10 pounds, and im so satisfied with this diet. This bacon chip idea is so exciting! 😁

[@belladonnelly8063]

I totally 💯 agree

[@lisanuss4914]

Pork rinds work very well as a chip replacement!

[@tracyduvall8190]

​@@lisanuss4914I totally agree, I've been known to take a bag with me to Mexican restaurants to eat with cheese dip instead of chips, lol

[@KenDBerryMD]

Bacon Chips are Life!!!

[@YouTubeBinge-q1p]

I love my bacon chips! I make a whole package of bacon, put it into a container, and then have it if I need a little something that’s crispy and/or salty! Thanks for showing me how to do it. Oh and I save the grease for pork lard and I cook with that!

[@Privateersman1]

Love this idea. I got bacon that was off-the-scale crispy! Many many thanks. One reason for making it is that I needed crispy bacon as a garnish for guacamole. At the start, I had an issue where the water in the bacon (I live in the UK) needed to be boiled off before the frying could properly begin.

[@gullinvarg]

I've been baking bacon lately. It has a lot of the same benefits. However, I'm making whole strips rather than chips, so flipping them isn't as tedious as flipping chips would be. Your method may work better for chip size pieces. FWIW, I'm mostly making bacon sandwiches with high fat, cloud bread made with butter mayo instead of cream cheese. Planning to try it with baconaise soon. ☺️🥓

[@anneiconex1473]

@gullinvarg what is cloud bread

[@stephaniesimmons0723]

I’m definitely giving this a try! The ease of clean up makes it worth while! Thank you guys for sharing this with us! Also Neisha can you share where you found your cute pig grease holder? I’m from the South too and right now I use an old Crisco can my grandmother gave me that I scrubbed , washed and rinsed… the old fashioned original southern grease can that I removed the label on.I can’t help but think yours is much cuter and I won’t be endorsing “obesity oil”!

Thank you Neisha and Dr Berry! I have searched quite a bit on how to make bacon crispy. I stopped looking and here you are❣️ 🤗🥳🤭 I will try this with beef bacon. 🎉

[@TheShahann]

We LOVE bacon chips made this way! Thank you for all you do!

[@KristenMartinez]

I’ve been making it this way for a couple years now after trying to figure out a better way than the stove (messy) or the oven (always burns). I cook a couple pounds at a time, under cook it just a little and keep it in the freezer then take out a portion at a time and heat it in the microwave or stove when I want some. I’ve been doing smaller chips (more like bacon bits) but now thinking I need to do bigger chips. 🥓 🤤

[@TravelingMissD]

Yes! 1/3 cuts make great dipping chips. Enjoy!

[@janiemiller825]

Love 💕 this .. oh wow 🤩 Bacon 🥓 chips 👏 That will be great for 🥑 guacamole dip 🏈

[@rachaelbarr3735]

That was my thought, too! Mmmmm!

[@rochellet7303]

So simple, so "why didn't I think of that?" Thanks Doc and Neisha! (you inspired Superbowl bacon chips with guacamole in my brain. Oh yeah.)

[@furysmith6564]

Omg I love you guys! I used to do this in the air fryer with basket… this only took 10 min and I actually burned it!! So I will lower the temp next time but hey, even burnt bacon is still delicious!! Only bad part is that I ate half of it before I could store it away, lol. Thanks for all of your great information… I’ve reversed my diabetes the easy and healthy way!!
