My dad always burned bacon to absolute shit every time he made breakfast when I was a kid.
It's one of the reasons I don't like bacon. I am working to enjoy bacon at least in soft form but every breakfast is a struggle

It depends:
Sandwich/Burger - Better be crispy so I don't take a bite and drag a piece out With bacon and eggs, or a similar dish - Floppy and fatty like a piece of meat should be  |

Not under-cooked soft and definitely not over-done crispy, more like properly done chewy!
Of the two extremes, I'll take under-done instead of crispy (which is basically burnt). |

But only as a failsafe to ensure all bacon is not lost... |

If you cook it right it should be chewy. Not crispy and not floppy.

Thick or thin, wiggly. Just hot enough for the fat to start melting.

Bacon should barely bend when held by one end and held sideways. Bacon should be crisp around the edges but not to the point of being dry and crumbly. The middle should be chewy.
Blackened, dry and crumbly bacon is a crime against all things culinary. |

Melt in your mouth crispy.
Plop a couple of spoon fulls of bacon grease from the previous bacon cookings into the pan. Medium-Low heat. Fill pan up with raw bacon. Remove when the water from inside the bacon stops foaming. Never burnt, just crisp. You can pull it out just a tad earlier if you want to leave a little more grease unrendered inside the bacon fat. Pour clean golden oil back in the bacon grease jar for the next happy day, but leave just enough in the pan with the left behind crumbles and make some breakfast gravy (.33 c of flour slowly whisked into .25 c grease, slowly whisk in 2 c or so of milk, the season to taste with bit of salt, some pepper and a small bit of sugar). |

I prefer a crispy bacon with waffles or pancakes. A little syrup poured over the bacon too.
A soft bacon if I will be using it to sop up egg yolk. |

Nah, dude, that bite with a whole piece represents bites you're going to take later with little to no bacon. The ideal sandwich has a hearty amount of bacon with every bite. And what is this knife and fork for a sandwich business? Communism, that's what. That is bad and you should feel bad.   |

Those who enjoy soft bacon must also be liberals and enjoy penis in mouth. That's not a necessarily bad way to be, I thought I'd share this info

As many stated before: both is best, that is to say a state just before full crispiness occurs when the fatty areas still retain some flexibility. Bacon should slightly bend when handled. Overly done, dry bacon makes the angels cry.

It depends on what kind of bacon I'm eating.
There is bacon that is better crispy, and then there are some kinds of bacon better if it's not so crispy. |

Somewhere in between! We do oven bacon, I love when it's softly crispy with the ends that seem to melt in your mouth! Firm, but not too fir. Where it feels like you're eating a thin piece of wood. Yet not too soft where it feels like you've got to chew and chew on it as if it's raw.
