Kenny, I haven't tried bacon yet but intend to. I think the grease tray would be able to handle about half a pound of bacon but you must allow the grease to cool completely because it might slop over the sides lifting it out of the appliance.I usualy cook bacon in a fairly hot oven pouring off the grease half way along and watching the meat fairly closely til it is done to my taste which is crispy.

Yes, I've not done it, however, my friend uses it in baking. I Love this stuff!

Steak is possible I would think. I haven't tried. No place for the bacon to drain, so I wouldn't even try. The name tells what it is designed for: grilled sandwiches or french toast. Anything much beyond that you should go for a Foreman Grill or other multitasker appliance.

It's possible. Problem is if pepper is large enough only about an inch will stick out the bottom. I have been sticking toothpicks through the peppers to keep them from falling through as they soften during cooking. If you used the toothpick to hold the bacon as well it should work okay. I have been cutting bacon slice in half and folding across top of pepper so the bacon just touches the top of the tray and pin with toothpick as mentioned. That has worked well for me.

Sorry, I've never tried regular bacon on it (I buy the fully cooked kind because I hate dealing with all the grease of regular bacon) but my guess is that while it would keep the bacon nice and flat and cook both sides at once, the "wells" for the grease would overflow unless you were just cooking 2-3 slices. Love my little Griddler; use it for so many things.

Yes. My scan pans still work very well. The skillet is used almost every day. Although I always add a very, very small amount of oil or butter to the pan, I have never had a problem with food sticking. However, after frying bacon with maple syrup or other sugary substance, make sure you get the pan thoroughly clean before using again -- otherwise a residue will remain causing food to stick.

Have not attempted that. Just used the mat to maintain after completing the cooking to avoid over-cooking.

Not yet, but I'll need to give it a try. I've made it on tinfoil and it worked. I'm believing the Grill Mat will do much better.

I do not have an Artisan mat, only a silpat. Mine does not have tiny holes in it. I bake everything I can on it and pop it on the top shelf of my dishwasher. Because I like my chicken, pork, and fish crispy, I brown and then bake on low oven to finish. Cookies turn out perfect, unlike days in past where they were a little browner or burnt where I could taste it. LOVE MY SILPAT and have bought for all my family members along with nice cookie sheet and cookies as gift for Christmas.

We have not fried bacon on this griddle, but it appears to be perfectly suited for that. Happy eating!!

I have not. But judging from the fact that my griddle warped on medium-high heat after only weeks of use, I would not use it. Great for pancakes, torillas, eggs over easy.

Yes, While I haven't tried it. Cooking bacon on the rack on the pan is suppose to deliver excellent results.

Jason, I never have used it because it is just too big for the amount of bacon grease I collect. Sorry.

Pancakes, yes. Eggs, yes but you need the heat hot enough that the whites form up immediately. Bacon, I wouldn't recommend this vs using a wire rack when using the grill. You'll have a greasy mess with bacon on this mat.

Yes, this press would work with cooking bacon. It's not a flat press, but it will still hold the bacon in place. You might have to flip your bacon once. But this is not a press that you want to lift up and down a lot in the cooking process. It's heavy and hot. If I could only invest in one press, I would definitely invest in this one over the flat one. It makes a fabulous grilled panini. sandwich with the matching lodge pan.

I just used mine today to do bacon in the oven at 400 degrees and it was fine. Nothing came off, either on the bacon or when I washed it afterwards.
