By Chubbyalaskagriz: {I ain't fried bacon on the stove-top in nearly 20 years and won't... the popping grease all over hell ain't worth it for me. I'd go without bacon if I had to wipe down that spattery mess everyday. That's just me, though. I have this weird mental-thing with spattery messes on my stove-top... have it at home and even had it at work. I can't even watch a pot of marinara bubbling and spattering all over the place... makes me pace like a penned-up horse and walk in circles like a drunken banshee! Ha!}
CAG,
I am exactly the same way, are we neat freaks or what!!! But as you mentioned the oven for "frying" bacon that way is what I meant when I said I place it on the non-stcik griddle (I failed to mention in the oven) and you are so right it is 100% better that way & crunchy too - I never cared if the oven got dirty, just not the stove-top that I can see
Thanks for posting, Cathy
