We just microwave our bacon. Wife like it crispy, I like it chewy - 2 batches cooked in about 10 minutes total. I use a ridged bacon cooker that drains most of the grease away from the meat - I probably pour off 1/2 cup of grease every day. (Of course I save some of it for bean seasoning or the occasional pot of haluski).
Still prefer hog jowl or, if I could get it, slab bacon though.
When we have baked potato for dinner, wife makes several potatoes.
Then the next morning, she makes bacon, then slices up the baked potatoes, and fries them with onions in the leftover bacon fat to make home fries (the potatoes soak up the bacon fat).
