So, Jude and I enjoyed a wonderful brunch at paul k yesterday - consisting of Lox Eggs Benedict, Duck Confit Hash, and a plate of Maple Glazed Bacon. Lovely space, great food, etc etc.
I woke up this morning and thought, that's it, I am going to duplicate that bacon right now, right here in my own kitchen. I looked around online for some basic instructions, then used my instincts and did a little bit of experimenting. It was SO easy and came out great. I will never, ever make bacon in a pan again - my stove is not covered in grease, and the bacon cooked perfectly evenly. The beauty of making bacon this way is that you can make the other components of breakfast (eggs, toast, whatever) without having to fight for room on the stove. And did I mention the clean-up? Ahhh! Why have I been pan-frying for so long?!
