how does it do on cooking bacon?

I cut my bacon in half, put 6 to 8 slices on a couple layers of good paper towels, cover and cook on high for 2 minutes. Give it another 30 seconds if necessary. Bacon varies a lot by brand.

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.

I have used mine to cook bacon, and I have had no trouble with it. I put it on a baking sheet, and it cooks perfectly, I have not noticed an unusual smell, but I have not cooked anything as high as you. Hope you can figure it out.

I do not like it for frying bacon it is fairly shallow and the bacon spatters over it onto the stove.

I scrape with a metal brush then rub bacon grease on it with a rag , if you heat up your grill the grease will turn black and form a protective non stick coating for easier cleaning the next time.

My husband and son use this thing perpetually but have never used bacon. There would be a lot of grease in the catcher with bacon, but, yes, I think it would probably turn. I'm not sure the bacon would cook as fast as the dog would cook. You might have to partially pre-cook the bacon to catch up with the hotdogs. Either way, you can clean the rollers with SOS pads and rinse the grease off the catcher plate after each use. We love this machine!

If the instructions on the food say so that's fine, I would only do so if you normally would. It's great for bacon!

Rounded. Never tried bacon. Channels are not deep enough to drain oil away. I make bacon in the oven. I have used my pan for meats; hot dogs, steak, pork chops. It's a great pan though. Hope this helps.

I have not tried bacon. I think the grease would get under the mat while in the oven.

It is great for a lot of bacon. The square shape makes the slices easy to fit. The whole pan heats pretty evenly, but I still move the outside ones to the middle when I cook a bunch. If the bacon is very fatty, I have poured some of the grease off while still cooking--the corners make it easy to pour safely. Then I carefully wipe any grease on the outside and put it back on the fire.

It's doesn't leave quite as strong a bacon flavor as what I remember from my granny's cooking. But it's just a small difference in intensity. Presumably because of the filtering. The flavor itself is spot-on.

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.

Let me just say that the primary reason I love it is how it collects the fat drippings. Since turkey bacon is very lean it does not have that problem. It might be better to let the turkey utilize the little fat it has in helping it cook. In my mind's eye I see your bacon drying out in places as it hangs. Give it a try and if it doesn't work for you just give it as a gift to a pig eating friend. . Just remember to open the carton carefully OK?
