Bacon Cooked Right: Why Cast Iron Falls Short and What to Use Instead

A culinary expert says cast iron’s slow heat up and strong heat retention lead to uneven bacon rendering, with some areas overdoing it and others underdone. For small batches, use heavy stainless or nonstick pans for better control; for larger quantities, the oven on sheet pans provides even cooking, minimal splatter, and repeatable results without babysitting the pan.

The truth about uncured bacon's health benefits.

The labels "cured" and "uncured" on bacon and other processed meats can be misleading. Both cured and uncured bacon are preserved, and the use of these labels is a result of labeling regulations. "Uncured" bacon may still contain similar amounts of nitrites and nitrates as "cured" bacon. Nitrites and nitrates, whether synthetic or from natural sources, can form nitrosamines in the body, which may increase the risk of certain cancers. Processed meat intake has also been linked to an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. While vegetables like celery contain nitrates and nitrites, their conversion to nitrosamines is less likely due to the low protein content. It is recommended to consume processed meats in moderation.

The author suggests arranging graham crackers, chocolate, and torn bacon on a plate, topping it with a heated marshmallow, and pressing it with another graham cracker. Experiment with different ratios to find your preferred combination, but always make more than one because these bacon-infused s'mores are a deliciously messy treat.

Inside the World of Matty Matheson: The Bear, Breakfast, and More.

Chef Matty Matheson shares his Sunday morning breakfast routine with his family, which includes super soft scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, British-style beans, and Texas-style toast with margarine.

He whips the eggs with unsalted butter in a non-stick pan and stirs it slowly to create a curdy texture. He listens to ’60s folky music and cooks everything on low heat to ensure safety.
