You are supposed to bake bacon, starting in a cold oven.
Fuck a microwave oven. I don't use one.

You have to try it. It is the BEST.
And I loves me an iron skillet, too. I do.

When I was still cooking full time, I used to bake off several large baking sheets of bacon every day for use in various dishes. There was quite a bit of quality control tasting, as well.

My first job was in a local fast food place famous for it's breakfast. We used to bake giant biscuit pans full of bacon, five to the oven and 24 slices per pan if I recall correctly.
Baking bacon keeps it floppy and I like my bacon nice and crispy crumbly, nearly burnt.

As some-body who prefers to keep clean-up as simple as possible, I use a micro-wave bacon plate. I guarantee that micro-waving on "high for 6 to 13 minutes" will burn your bacon beyond recognition. I only cook it for 2:45 (I prefer mine just shy of crisp). I think that Rachel needs to have a talk with who-ever maintains her web-site.

For the most part, TV chefs like Rachel Ray don't actually devise their own recipes or write cookbooks, anyway. I have a number of friends who have ghost-written books for the likes of Ray and Jamie Oliver.
Ultimately, however, frying your bacon in an iron skillet is the way to go: not only do you get nice, crispy rashers but then you can keep the fat for cooking other dishes.

What's the preferred temperature for baking Bacon? 6 degrees?

Husband™ loathes Rachael Ray the way I loathe Sarah Palin--possibly more. This is entirely because of her "recipes."
I mean, the gall to even call this a recipe. And even then to get it dangerously wrong. Six minutes is too long for eight pieces of bacon--I like my bacon to shatter, and eight slices will do so after 4.5 minutes, max, in the microwave. Thirteen minutes? House fire.
Maybe Ray is tired of being a food celebrity and she's trying to scuttle her "career."

Or she's getting ready to endorse some brand of bacon.

Bacon: what Taint said.
Bacon, eggs over easy, home fries, and rustic wheat bread toast is one of the world's great meals
edit : a couple of thick slices of San Franscisco type sourdough, toasted, instead

Eggs over easy, bacon, taters, toast, and because the spoons liked me, sos. All mixed together and black coffee.

Fried eggs, bacon, diced pan-fried potatoes or reheated leftover spaghetti, and tortillas for scooping up the yolk. +1 on the black coffee.

Tomorrow brunch: Sausage & milk gravy over biscuits. The man of the house, unfortunately, cannot eat eggs any more due to an allergy. I miss eggs--but not as much as he does, poor guy.

Ham and red eye gravy, scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, biscuits, and - maybe - grits. Depends on the mood.

My weekend breakfast consists of hashbrowns fried in salted butter, two fried eggs, three strips of bacon, coffee, orange juice and two slices of toast. During the week I pretty much stick to doughnuts or breakfast burritos from Taco Johns. I have a special place in my heart for good biscuits and gravy though, I stop by a local truck stop whenever I can for the best sausage gravy ever to be slathered over biscuits. Last time I was there I swear that I saw Jeffery Dahmer alive and well eating a chicken fried steak.

A bit late for that now isn't it, you've shown that you've aged and softened to the point of porridge on toast with a weak cup of tea.

Lawrence Welk? That new fangled stuff gives me a headache, it's all noise. Bring back Paul Whiteman. Warm milk is nice and all, but you need to make sure I get my fiber. Serve up some metamucil, or all bran bran buds. mmmm, psyllium

Only if it's the all-star tribute to Benny Goodman show. I'll take the warm milk straight from your (not you, Taint) wife's titty, unless she's ugly.
