I like them both a lot, so I’ll try it, if I ever see it out here in the boonies. ---

I will be looking for it. My husband will be away for three weeks pretty soon, that would be a good time for me to be able to cook it (he hates cooking anything that spatters over his clean kitchen). Or maybe I need to learn to cook bacon in the microwave. ---

Not angry about this, but what I really wanted was bacon-flavored cereal. ---

Cinnamon might work well with bacon, but if it’s based on the cereal, it probably has way too much sugar. ---

> [@Roderick\_Femm](#): > > Or maybe I need to learn to cook bacon in the microwave. I sous vide bacon over night in the original packaging. Then I snip the corner and pour off the grease into a container for future use. I fan-fold bacon strips in parchment paper and store it in a zip-lock in the refrigerator. When I use it I just heat each piece for a minute in a pan or microwave. ---

Pig candy, or candied bacon sounds similar > **[Candied Bacon Recipe Recipe - Rachel Cooks®](https://www.rachelcooks.com/candied-bacon-recipe/)** > > Candied bacon, "pig candy", bacon candy, call it what you will, this treat will have everyone calling for more! ---

If I want it crispy I microwave it 15 seconds at a time to desired point of crisp. When I make rumaki I use it as is and I boil the chicken livers to rare, wrap them with the sous vide bacon, dip them in sauce, then bake. ---

i was wondering if its going to be just a flavored glaze or a dry rub type of deal but it covers most of Americas favorite 3 food groups meat grease and sugar ---

Just shared with my daughter. I told her we’d buy it once for fun if we can find it. ---

> [@DoctorJ](#): > > Not angry about this, but what I really wanted was bacon-flavored cereal. Did you try the Malt-o-Meal maple bacon donut cereal from a few years ago? It wasn’t bad, although the slightly meaty test was a little weird in a cereal. ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > I sous vide bacon over night in the original packaging. Then I snip the corner and pour off the grease into a container for future use. I never understand comments like this. Whenever I cook bacon, it’s because I want the bacon grease right now, in whatever it is that I’m making. The grease is the reason for existence of bacon. ---

Different strokes. I don’t like fat. I know people say fat is flavour, but yuck. I prefer turkey bacon.
