I was at the country store last night and the clerk asked if I'd ever tried the pre-cooked bacon. I said no and he gave me a pack to try. Said if it's any good it sure would help him out, being a bachelor with a tiny kitchen.
Okay, I'm going to try this this morning. I plan on boiling some eggs and was going to bake a pan of bacon (leftovers go into soup!) and toast an English Muffin.
The brand is Tyson (like the chicken). I've had pre-cooked sausage links (Hormel) and pre-cooked sausage patties (Jimmy Dean); not bad. So how bad can pre-cooked bacon be? I'll find out shortly. -- Jill, Persia & Peaches the Nyasa lovebird

It seems like a soultion without a problem? As long as you have a nuker it is easy to do bacon. I don't eat bacon often so I just buy a pack and separate it and put it in the freezer. If you eat bacon frequently skip the freezing part. When I want bacon I just wrap it in a couple paper towels and nuke. It produces perfect, crispy low grease bacon.

I use the OM pre-cooked bacon all the time. First, I find no difference in the flavor. To me it is preferable to home cooking standard bacon: quick, cleaner, and easier to control the crispness for different uses. Price is about the same per slice.

That's funny. Well put. In my mind, I put precooked bacon right up there with frozen premade peanut butter sandwiches, but whatever.
Jill, how'd they turn out? And why is the country store guy flirting with you, obviously he could just try them himself if he really wanted to know. (smile)

Are we talking pre-cooked bacon (as in fully cooked) or partially cooked? Many years ago ('bout 50) the US Navy developed partially cooked canned bacon, an excellent product regardless it was 'affectionately' refered to as "petrified bacon".

I use the precooked bacon a lot. It is fast and easy in the microwave, I nuke it for about 10 seconds per piece, it is a lot better and easier to throw away a paper towel than to clean a greasy pan. Tastes good too, tho I really enjoy the thick cut bacon more, I have not see it in the precooked form ... yet.. Rosie

It seems a small problem, 'tis true. But, to get to the same place (eating bacon), you have to handle yours twice, as opposed to once. Additionally, the net weight of a pack of pre-cooked is about 2-3 oz., as opposed to a full pound of standard pack. The only difference is the fat. The US produces about 8 million metric tons of pork products every year, and a good chunk of that is bacon (no pun intended). Three-quarters of the weight of every standard bacon shipment is wasted weight. How much fuel does that burn?

How would you use this partially cooked canned bacon? What was it's condition after being canned? Did it crisp up? Do you think they still use this product? Goomba

You're making an environmental argument? Sure, it'll be more efficient to move the cooked bacon than the raw stuff. Less fuel, and less refrigeration required. Also, it'll be more efficient to cook it in multi-ton batches than a pound or half-pound at a time. And, collecting the waste fat for recycling will be more likely when the bacon is cooked at centralized bacon-cooking factories than in millions of individual kitchens.
The time saved by the individual consumer could be devoted to building a better, more efficient society. Other activities such as raising children could be conducted more efficiently in state-run facilities. Read about it here:

(laughing) I dunno. He's single and about 4 feet tall. Also close to 60 years old. As for why he didn't just buy it himself, I imagine he makes about $6.00 an hour while I, as a consumer, am doing a tad better than that 🙂
Turned out okay on biscuits. I just heated it up in the microwave. Nothing to write home about.

Not really trying to make "an environmental argument" in favor of pre-cooked bacon, just pondering, if you will, on the utility of trucking one or two million tons of bacon fat around the country every year when it is ultimately just going to be trashed anyway.

He gave it to you for free. He could have just had it himself for the same price you paid. Wht does how much he make have anything to do with it?
Sounds like more of the same blonde logic you're infamous for.

All my bacon grease get recycled into other foods. Potatoes, beans, eggs, etc... None of it goes to waste. I probably wouldn't buy pre-cooked bacon as I would get less than 1/2 of what I paid for.

I cook my own bacon, a package at a time and put it in a plastic box (Rubbermaid) in the freezer. I take out what I need and heat for a few seconds in the microwave.
I spread it on a cookie sheet, or a broiler pan, at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes. Keep an eye on it, and cook to your own taste.
