HOW IS IT FOR COOKING BACON?

Great. You can cook any meat on here. This is like the George Foreman grill wherby the grease runs into the grease pan. The only difference in the two, is this one is much cheaper.

I never used it for Bacon, but for those juicy big meat cuts like NY Strip and Rib Eye it's excellent!!! If leave it cooking for just 6 minutes you get a great medium rare steak....!!!!! Of course if you leave it more time you can get a well done too...!!!

No, we used it a few times for frying bacon, but it's not as deep as I wanted. If you cook a lot of bcon at one time, you may have to remove some of the grease or it will run over!

I just cooked 4 pounds of hamburger in it this morning. I use it constantly for frying and baking. I love it.

This type of Teflon coated electric griddle is not recommended for most meats, although it is perfect for cooking a pound of bacon at one time. It does not generate the intense heat necessary for browning meat, or to cook thicker cuts to a safe internal temperature. Its best uses are for pancakes, hash browns, eggs, and bacon.

I have never pressed bacon with it (yet) but used it for bison burgers, grilled chicken, beef burgers and grilled veggies..I love it! ! I actually purchased 2 so I can grill for 2 people at once

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.

I have used it a couple of days ago to cook some sliced beef. It came out good.

It is not deep enough to fry bacon, the grease would drip over the edges. However, it is perfect for pancakes and grilled cheese sandwiches. I highly recommend it. Hope this helps.

I found it takes a good 10 minutes to cook a full load of bacon to crispy...for 6 pcs I'd estimate about half that...we luv this unit...

I do two things to make it easier. First, I put a piece of paper towel on the bottom tray. This makes clean-up better. Then, I place the bacon tray on a microwave safe tray and remove that with the bacon tray because it doesn't get hot. I love the way it does bacon. It's perfect for us because four pieces of bacon fit perfectly. Hope this helps. :)

I just cooked some today and I have found out that the time they give you in the recipe book is always, not enough time. It cooks bacon perfect without burning it or drying it out or frying it too crisp. I love my grill and do most everything that requires frying in a skillet. You just have to found out much time it takes to cook it the way you want it.

I'm sure it would cook bacon although I have not used it to cook bacon myself because I always cook a pound at a time. But, the way it cooks and browns fish and beef, I'm sure it would work for bacon as well. I have a this one and the new one that is round and larger. It cooks fish and vegetables incredibly well. It also cooks a pretty good fillet when BBQing isn't convenient.

Approx. 1/4" . We cook bacon on it, but you will have to pour off grease before it is cooked, maybe a couple of times depending the fat on the bacon.

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.

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?

It is very shallow not sure it would be good for bacon. The grease would probably overflow. I love it though for pancakes.
