Is this bacon overdone?

  1. If it tears, no. If it snaps, yes.

    But I’ll take burnt bacon over the flaccid, pink mess with uncooked fat that passes for bacon in restaurants all over the country. It’s genuinely a disgrace how underdone bacon is served here and it baffles me.

  2. It was probably cooked perfectly on the day it was cooked, but it’s never gonna be the best a week later.

  3. For me yes, my hubby not enough. Every time I cook bacon, ‘ nice and crispy’, for 30 bloody years!

  4. Depends what you’re using it for.

    Club sandwich or similar cold sandwich involving salad, pasta salad, etc – no.

    Bacon and egg sandwich or fry up – yes.

  5. Yes. Absolutely. You can get away with having that when its straight out the pan, but once its cools its a burned, charred, butter taste behind the bacon

  6. Quite a bit overdone for me. I like the fat crispy and fully rendered, but with the pink part still a bit supple. That looks fine for crumbling.
