I think she's a keeper

Well, she's definitely not a cooker.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 4 hours ago

I was served bacon that looked like that at Skegness Seal Sanctuary and we still joke it was made from the ones that didn't make it.

[-] Microplasticbrain@lemm.ee 8 points 8 hours ago

I think you should keep her away from a kitchen

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 19 points 18 hours ago

Did she boil the fucking bacon? Is that how it came out that way? I don't know it's weird. I mean hard-boiled eggs just do that sometimes but what the fuck. It's not hard to throw it in a frying pan. My fiance bakes it which is... Fine...

[-] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 11 points 14 hours ago

Yes, all cooked in the same pot at the same time as the eggs :>

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

Call ICE on her. If she’s white, tell them she’s irish. They don’t count as white again, so she’ll get sent to Venezuela where she might learn something about cooking. It might be cooking meth, but that’s still preferable to whatever that atrocity in the picture is.

BF/GF2 should raise the bar on her, perfect opportunity to flex.

Bacon should be cooked on a single layer in a pan preheated to medium high (about 2/3rds the dial) and flipped after some of the bacon has begun to shrink. Cover and reduce heat, remove from heat once the sizzling sound becomes quieter. The line between perfect bacon and overcooked perhaps slightly burnt is a number of seconds.

For boiled eggs, heat the water to a Rolling Boil. Very important. Then carefully lower in the eggs with some utensils. Wet yoke but cooked whites is usually achieved after about 3 minutes. Fully cooked after 8 to 10 minutes. Rinse the eggs and set in cold water for at least 2 minutes. The egg shells should be able to peel completely off without missing pieces because we brought to water to boil before adding the eggs.

For toast we're going to use my Honey White Bread recipe, but you'll have to rise it for at least 4 hours so maybe start it the night before.

  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1 and 1/4 cup water
  • 1/6th cup honey
  • 1.5 teasp Salt
  • 2 teasp Active Yeast (I buy the brown jars, they're more effective than packets because the yeast needs to be alive)
  • 1 tablesp olive oil

Mix by hand, then flatten and roll, then flatten and roll the other direction. Continue kneading until one consistent texture. It should be smooth and have a slight gloss to it. If it's too stratified or loose add small amounts of water, if it's too sticky then add flour. Cover with thin plastic or with a wet cloth, if the cloth sticks then wet it some more and it should let go. Rise for 2 hours, knead it again, then move it to the pan to rise it again for up to 16 hours (the longer you wait the more sour-dough like taste it obtains). Prepare either a breadpan, thin and tall work best, or a flat pan with parchment paper by covering it in solid at room temp coconut oil.

Cooking temp and time can depend on pan choice but a safe bet is 385F for about 30 to 40 minutes. You want to pull it out once as much of the crust as possible has browned. You can optionally apply a beaten mixture of egg and water ("egg wash" they call it) with a brush every 10 to 15 minutes to achieve a soft thin crust, then cover with wet cloth after pulling out. If not using egg wash, finish with a brush of olive oil and a light salting near completion and let cool without covering. Let sit for 20 minutes to cool.

I don't have a recipe for butter but salted butter for a topping or unsalted for baking with.

Your egg instructions are rediculous and don't account for elevation. Using those instructions will not yield the same results everywhere

[-] comrade19@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Elevation doesn't account for density height let alone pressure height. Instructions incomplete

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 2 points 2 hours ago

Step 1. Descend to sea level.
Step 2. Cook eggs.

The line between perfect bacon and overcooked perhaps slightly burnt is a number of seconds.

This is the biggest reason I bake bacon. I can bake nearly a pound of bacon in the time it takes to make the rest of breakfast and seconds don't make the difference between perfect and burnt. You can dial that shit in to the perfect level of crispiness.

Bacon spread out on a cooling rack set inside a sheet pan in a cold oven. Set to bake at 200°C or 400°F. After 20 minutes, check on it every 5 minutes until done to your liking. Thicker bacon takes longer obviously. Drain the grease and save for later cooking use.

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 12 points 15 hours ago

Recipe is totally unusable, no preface about a trip to Rome and how you were feeling, nothing.

Just straight up Recipe that's ludicrous

[-] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

Hmm, good old weaponized incompetence

[-] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 11 points 21 hours ago

Lmao that's so real, I think she boiled the bacon out of spite.

[-] dicksteele@lemm.ee 48 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

A pig died so that she could boil a part of it into shoe leather. Then you had to eat it. The things we do for sex…

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 27 points 1 day ago

I swear I saw the bacon move.

[-] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 41 points 1 day ago

My brain is now forever tainted with the idea that you can, and some people do, boil bacon.

[-] nik282000@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

If you put a little water in the pan with cold bacon it will steam for a bit and help render out the fat before it then deep-fries in that fat. To much water and you get whatever this is.

[-] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Y'all've seriously never tried grilling your bacon in the oven? The fat just melts off and leaves your bacon perfect. If you like it crispy, just leave it in for a bit longer.

Damn... Wtf did you do to piss her off that she boiled the bacon while boiling the eggs?

[-] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 37 points 1 day ago

Energy efficiency. It's no crime to care about global warming 🧐

[-] logi@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Fry it all on the same pan.

[-] Wolf314159@startrek.website 3 points 12 hours ago

No no no. In this case it was a crime against the memory of that pig.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 5 points 18 hours ago

I think this might be an exception...

[-] ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago

I'd assume if you care about global warming you'd also avoid eating meat. Maybe more important for beef than bacon though. Anyway, I interrupted your chewing, please continue!

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 46 points 1 day ago

The methane the pig and chicken made are worse than the gas it would take to cook them.

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago

The amount of energy you (as a consumer) use is nominal in comparison to big corporations; especially the big corporate farms. So you might as well heat up a second pan to make the bacon, because you’re suffering unnecessarily for no gains.

But make no mistake, what I said above is in no way a negative reflection on you or your future wife.

Are we just ignoring the significant amount of energy it would take to get a pot of water up to a boil?

Yeah 🙃 Keep'er far away from the kitchen.

[-] krgn@lemmy.sdf.org 70 points 1 day ago

Are you certain she likes you?

[-] knuckleproof@lemm.ee 40 points 1 day ago

Frying both the egg and bacon would probably use much less energy and be 100 times more tasty than whatever this is.. If I have to boil bacon, I might as well not eat it at all.. 😅

I hope you call your girlfriend BB from now on. Not because it is a bastardization of "Baby" but because it is short for boiled bacon.

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 22 points 1 day ago

Can't be, no beans.

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 17 points 1 day ago

Fuck off. No English plate has seen bacon and eggs that grim.

But really..

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

What crime did she commit against the Bacon?

[-] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 day ago

I'm washing the pot now. It was boiled in the same pot water as the eggs. Saves electricity

[-] jodanlime@midwest.social 28 points 1 day ago

I just fry my eggs in the bacon grease, same energy, probably not as healthy but it doesn't look like a crime scene either.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 26 points 1 day ago

Possibly less. Boiling a pot of water takes quite a lot of energy

[-] Rambomst@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

You're saving 2c and wasting bacon.... If you want to boil everything maybe pick foods that aren't depressing when boiled.
