18. The only reason...

I can satisfy my bacon addiction is because I have a nice air fryer/convection oven that I can make perfect bacon every time in less than 20 minutes. If I had to cook it in a pan, wouldn't be happening. I just put the slices on the tray, place the second tray on top of them and let her rip for about 15 minutes or less. The cooked product is perfectly cooked, flat strips that crumble when you bite into them, yum!

Growing up, that was how bacon was made, flat, all of it cooked... no curled up, half cooked and greasy nightmare that I wouldn't venture to eat. Imagine my horror when I discovered that people out west eat bacon that way and expect you to as well.

Call me a picky eater, I don't care.
