Cast iron skillet, get it nice and hot, then turn the heat down to a little above low. Fill as much of the skillet with bacon as possible without overlapping. Turn occasionally, cooking until tiny little bubbles show up (or you think the bacon looks done). Done right, the bacon barely curls at all, and is nice and crispy. Can take a long time, though.

I think baking it or using a Foreman grill gives a similar final product, but just isn't quite the same, for some reason.

IIRC, it takes me about 15-20 minutes to cook up 1/2 lb. Low heat is the key, as you said.

And keep the grease in there when you add more bacon. Helps it cook more evenly. Only when the bacon is literally drowning in the grease should you empty it. I learned that one pretty quick, too.

Yup. The grease is necessary. I've not had a problem with the bacon producing so much that it covers the meat, but I suppose that could depend on the leanness of the bacon and the size of the pan.

Or the amount of bacon being cooked overall.....say, at F5 time. :o

I would lay the bacon perpendicular to the grill lines and cook that way, but I defer to others who might have more experience with that kind of pan.

I would have expected a timing belt problem to keep it from running at all, unless the belt slipped or something, then the timing could just be effed up. I would lean towards fuel system as my first guess, after what you just described.

Just hitch a ride home with someone, do you really need a car in Rochester?

Yeah, like I said, I'm gonna try some fuel additive and see if that makes it run well enough to drive home. Otherwise, I guess I'm stuck up here until they fix it. And I don't need a car in Rochester, but it's a real pain in the *** if I don't have one because I live about 15-20 minutes from pretty much anything in town, and our family would be splitting 2/3 cars between 4/5 people, depending on if my sister is home or not. So yeah.

The bacon we cooked at the F5 was more deep fried in rendered bacon fat then anything. Just took less time to cook and less turning.

But, that was some fatty, cheap bacon that you had.

Good:
Pasta with bacon for lunch.

Amusing:
Finding out that one of our interns is a Yooper (from Sault Ste. Marie).

Sad:
The hot intern isn't going to be at the holiday party tonight.

I'm guessing "hot" intern isn't the Fooper? ;)
