This falls under the possible "terrorist" banner.
Boiling Bacon seems very disrespectful in my book, but I want ahead and did it anyway.
Covered the base of my pan with water and reluctantly allowed a few slices of bacon to take a dip, all the time thinking I'd hate to see bacon go to waste.
Gas burner at full blast to get the water to boil off and the turned right down to low to finish the experiment. I turned the slices once or twice during the cook and the fry.
​
​
Then let the bacon fat cool and some more slices into the pan and fried over low heat for a comparison.
The piece at the top of the plate was from the terrorist attack.
Summary
The boiled bacon did not loose it's flavour as I thought it might and had a nice crisp with a soft chew.
The other had less crisp and more chew.
I honestly could not tell a difference in the taste of the 2 batches.
I will use less water next time because it did take a time to boil off and I'll fry the non boil batch in a clean pan instead of left over lard.
Now to line myself up for the firing squad I enjoyed the boiled better. It kind of reminded me of doing bacon in the oven at a low heat for a long time.
Will do another test to verify I just can't fit another piece in at the moment.
