Now go forth and convert the heretics who foolishly serve bacon partially cooked an uncrispy.

AZ_Sky most strongly disagrees with the OP who apparently likes burnt meat.....

The only use (sort of) for ruined bacon is to crumble it up then sprinkle it on a garden salad....

Got it. You prefer to put hot, hard meat in your mouth.

Name one other cut of meat that is served burnt to a crisp

Bacon should still have some semblance of being pork.

Now go chew on your burnt salt sticks

Crispy bacon has its uses, say on a salad in little bits. But strips of bacon should be slightly chewy and tender, much better flavor

If you can't hold it horizontally by one end, it's not done.

There is a magical point –– Bacon lives there for only about 30 seconds on the hot top –– where it has passed from flaccidity but not quite to jarring crunchyness. It is slightly firmer than the consistency of good beef jerky, and at this stage Bacon is at its best.

I firmly support this thread

Bacon is meant to be crispy. It is meant to be on that fine fine line of crispy and burnt. If it is not crispy and / or slightly burnt, it is not acceptable

I'm with you, my bacon brother.

How the hell are you supposed to eat a BLT when all the bacon comes out of the sammich at the first bite?

Correct... It's much better in my mouth warm and flacid.

People should be able to eat their food however they prefer it cooked, people (like the government) should mind their own business and not tell people what is good for them.

When properly cooked, you should be able to crumble it to dust, stuff it in you black powder rifle and shatter your toast with your scrambled eggs.

I like it SLIGHTLY crispy with some chewy pieces in it. That smoky burnt shit dont cut it.

Do you guys take dainty little bites of your BLT's? I pile on the bacon and scarf that MFer, nothing more annoying than when rubbery, flaccid bacon flies out.

All that flappy meat in my face reminds me too much of my times with your mom. Makes me sad. I miss her.

^This.

I don't like raw bacon. But I also don't like bacon that crumbles into pieces.

Both. Crispy on the outside, but chewy on the inside.

Eggs are to be done over easy, no exceptions. Scrambled? What are you, 3?

Crispy bacon with a small amount of gelatin-like fat remaining. You get the crisp and the soft. Is best bacon.

Bacon should be both chewy and crunchy and mostly red in color.

Incorrect, perfect bacon has been cooked to that wonderful state where it is slightly crisp and yet has a chew to it. Cooking it until it crumbles like a potato chip is heresy.

Bacon should be soft and chewy and full of flavor. Not the burnt-to-a-crisp, no flavor, chewing-on-glass bacon you describe

I hate crispy bacon! Why would you go and ruin a perfectly fine piece of bacon? Crispy bacon tastes like crap. It just crumbles up in your mouth and feels like you are chewing on sand. Ugh.
