It should be thick enough to stab with a fork.

If you don't think so you are probably a nasty hippyhomocommiepetafag.

Thin bacon on cast iron is better than no bacon at all.....

Thick cut and cooked about med-well - no crispy bacon here.

What is this bacon of which you speak?

There is nothing like the smell of bacon in the morning.

Thick cut is the only way.

Unless the missus buys it, in which case it is thin.  I have no idea why, but while likes thick cut bacon, every time she buys bacon, she fails to look for thick cut and always brings home regular cut.

Thin and medium rare.  No one else in my house will eat the bacon I cook.

Cooked so that it is not crumbly or chewy, but breaks off when you bite into it. and sliced around .100" thick.

Thick and cooked to almost being brittle.

I would say middle-of-the-road thick.


I recently bought a 15 pound box of Wright brand bacon at a restaurant supply store and got the "extra thick" stuff. That sounded like a good idea, but the reality is that you get a lot fewer slices that way. Even if they're marginally thicker, we can all agree that more slices of bacon = more happiness (as long as the slices aren't too thin).


The biggest problem with thin bacon is that you can't cook it floppy. Everyone knows that crispy bacon is bad.

Lower heat and longer cooking time and you get better than floppy or crispy, which is chewy.

Poll fail, I like both.

I like the thin kind cooked crisp, or the thick cut cooked tender.




That does it, I'm gonna get the griddle out and make bacon cheeseburgers today.

This. If it can't be held horizontal by just one end, it's not done.

1/8" thick and if you can hear it crunch it's too done.

Crispy bacon is a blasphemy to the baby Jesus and makes him want to curb stomp kittens,

True.  Thick and cast iron cooked.


but NOT crispy.  I mean not raw but... if it's cooked to the point where it's rock hard then it's gross.

1) Wrights is good bacon.

2) More bacon is better.

3).  Crispy bacon is bad?  You're all fucked up, and you probably hate apple pie too.  Goddamned communist.

Crispy bacon, rare steaks, beans in chili. All other answers are wrong.

If I'm stuck with sub-par thin bacon I cook it folded over double and cook twice as much. Never crispy!

Get both.

I use thin cut for sandwiches and thick for eating by itself or chopping up for my mashed potatoes. I even have different uses for limp and crispy bacon. It's ALL delicious!

I like crispy bacon, but steaks I'll eat medium rare to rare.  I don't have a huge problem w/ blue rare but I prefer a warm center, and I've had steak tartare which was good.  Beef is good rare.  Pork should be cooked properly.

Thick Applewood smoked and with the right balance of chewy and crispy. I like my bacon with equal amounts of crispy and chewy.
