Can I make cold but still crispy bacon?

ive never tried this so its a guess, when you wanna make the outside of baked goods crispier, you open the oven door a tiny bit and let the cookies or whatever cool slowly, maybe.... and just maybe you could try baking the bacon on a oven tray and do the same, just a guess :) it must be possble as ive bought cold crispy bacon in M&S before in a packet
 
If you cook it crispy it will remain so after cooling.
 
After cooking the christmas Turkey and removing the crispy bacon from the breast and placing to one side,when I cook my brussel sprouts in butter and chestnuts later on-the cold bacon is crispy enough to crumble into the brussel sprouts.
so if you get it crispy enough in the first place it stays nice and crispy.:)
 
Thanks for the tips. I shall make some as crispy snacks then. My local sandwich shop (mmm... Sandwiches..) always seem to make cold soggy bacon so I wasn,t sure it was do- able. :)
 
I don't know how they do it, but M&S do an awesome crispy bacon in a pack. 20 or so rashers, all very crispy. You can find it in the chiller section with the cold meats.

Er... I hesitate to mention this, but... er... doesn't the cannibalism aspect bother you? I mean, you are a pig, aren't you?

I mean, I'm a flower. You are a pig.

Drat. Just noticed - someone else beat me to it with the M&S bacon recommendation!
 
oh i get it,,,, its ok for you to murder and eat a defenceless cauliflower, but not ok for pigs to eat themselves, double standards at work here

Exactly!

As a plant, I play a vital part in the... er... ecosystem lifecycle circle of life thingy.

You know. Compost heaps.

Animals are different. Mind you, I wouldn't expect you to understand. Clay pigeon murderer!

:wideyed: you mean....... you mean....... clay pigeons feel pain? :sorry: no one told me :sorry::sorry: i thought it was squirrels laughing at what a bad shot i am, not clay pigeons screaming :sorry:
 
Ha, I kind of like the turn the discussion has taken ...

But I was intrigued by the heading so checked in - and there is no way I can make cold but still crispy bacon ... hmm (I guess some prior cooking/frying process will be involved).

- and please save the clay pidgeons - is there a petition around which I may sign?

Even pigs love bacon.
 
Crispy cold bacon is doable, I use streaky and fry it good and proper, cool on a piece of kitchen towel and it'll stay crispy then...

Clay pigeon and compost heap stuff... No comments...;)
