Even better is a massive cookie sheet of bacon, cooking in the oven.  We buy thick sliced and it can take up to 60 minutes at 275 degrees.  But when it comes out.... oh la la!!!!

No mess, no smoke in kitchen..... spectacular!  And you don't exceed 300 degrees which ends up providing you with outstanding bacon grease to use down the road.

I did try to dehydrate bacon and make it into a jerky.....   Not a fan.

Foolishness and ignorance has nothing to do with it. It takes a pretty ignorant mind to think that way.
It boils down to equipment and preferences.
I don’t own a dehydrator and don’t have plans to buy one anytime soon.
I hate crispy bacon. I much prefer mine chewy and not overcooked.
I haven’t tried dehydrated bacon jerky but if I had a dehydrator I’d certainly give it a try.
If it’s anything like oven bacon I’m sure I’d hate it. Oven bacon was how they cooked it in the Army and I couldn’t stand it.
I’ll stick with pan frying mine. It comes out chewy and has a great flavor fried in its own fat.

Some of you surely cook bacon in a pan and remain clueless and obstinate and creating a mess

Seems like that word might work both ways, lol. 😄

Other people just dry their raw bacon in a food dehydrator with the heating element. Pretty simple

I certainly won't knock it until I've tried it. Although, I've bought "bacon jerky" at the store before, and thought it was pretty terrible. I would be afraid homemade bacon jerky would likewise be bad.

Crispy bacon is where it's at, dude! 😋

First it is bacon, and bacon does not even fall into a food group, like pork or beef or chicken, or even white meat or dark meat. It is bacon and holds a place far and above all other meats. 

I would try your dehydrated bacon, and I am sure it would spectacular. But at the same time, I like greasy done/almost done but not crispy bacon just as much. 

I don't own a dehydrator, but I do own a number of cast iron skillets, a couple three of them were making bacon before I was born, and I am 55. So, that form of cooking has most definitely stood the test of time. 

As far as ignorance, I believe ignorance is bliss. And like said, when it comes to bacon, odds are most any form is bliss. I think I am in a good spot.

My Pops would always say he could make sandwiches with a piece of paste board/cardboard box between two slices of bread and if he added two or three strips of bacon most would ask for another. Again, in a class all by itself.

If you are that passionate about your dehydrator to call names and make assumptions, I am impressed enough to buy one and bring back some actual data to the conversation.

Til then, it is 'bacon by skillet' for me.

I also believe in Big Brother and the sharing of algorithms.....

I read the thread, commented and had a slight laugh. I changed screens to check my email and a meme/short video popped up about bacon. Go figure.

"Bacon is a lot like women. They both smell good. They both taste good. And they both kill men slowly".

We are all being watched and monitored. LOL
