Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Bacon of the Month Club
On Sunday a person's thoughts turn to bacon. At least mine do. I don't have to rush to the office, so I can take the time to cook my bacon properly, slowly over low heat. Of course my thoughts are never very far from bacon, no matter what day of the week it is.
That's why I'm particularly excited about today's Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway, a year-long membership in the Bacon of the Month Club, courtesy of the good folks at the Grateful Palate. Every month for a whole year the lucky Serious Eater who wins this most desirable club membership will receive a pound of fantastic small producer, artisanally made bacon personally selected by "Captain Bacon" himself, Grateful Palate founder Dan Philips.
This is my kind of club. In fact, someone gave me a membership in this club a few years ago for my birthday, and I can tell you it provided me with a year's worth of absolute eating pleasure.
To win this coveted membership just leave a comment on this post telling us how you like your bacon, crisp or pliant.
You have until noon ET tomorrow (Monday, December 24) to enter. One winner will be chosen at random from among the commenters. The standard Serious Eats contest rules apply. Contest winners are limited to residents of the continental U.S.
And if you don't happen to win I heartily endorse joining the Bacon of the Month Club anyway. You can sign up

susitravl at 12:40PM on 12/23/07
Crispy, semi-burnt, meaty, fatty, chewy. I think even limp, lame bacon is delicious. Heck, I even love bacon in my choc. like the Vosges bacon chocolate bar. Mmmm...bacon (pronounced BAY-CONE)!!!
Nugget at 12:41PM on 12/23/07
i never met a bacon i didn't like, but chewy and pliant is my fave.
jenbb at 12:42PM on 12/23/07

so much bacon, so little time....crispy on salad, opposite spectrum on a burger...and right in between next to scramble eggs.
SandraLynn128 at 1:50PM on 12/23/07
Pretty much any way but raw.
coffeecake at 1:51PM on 12/23/07
Crisp or pliant... your question seem so cruel. Crisp, yes, on a summer BLT; pliant, most certainly, wrapped about a succulent filet. If a man must choose between two equally fervent loves to win this contest, I gladly proclaim myself a loser.
ptrhaase at 1:51PM on 12/23/07

bev1132 at 1:55PM on 12/23/07
Crisp, usually, but it depends on what I'm eating it with—e.g., if you have a crisp waffle, sometimes you want your bacon chewy, for contrast.
India at 1:56PM on 12/23/07
crispy
valerie2350 at 1:58PM on 12/23/07
Extra crispy is the only way. The only way it could be better is if someone cooked it for you with sausage and eggs and fed it to you. Man I wish there was a contest for that!
br003 at 1:58PM on 12/23/07
I like really thick cut bacon--well done, but chewy and delicious.
SEFB9118 at 1:58PM on 12/23/07
I like each strip both ways!
ditajade at 1:59PM on 12/23/07

bytemyfoot at 1:59PM on 12/23/07
Crisp and tasty!
newsome815 at 2:00PM on 12/23/07
either or; is not a firm choice, depends on what mood I'm in, and the brand of bacon used.
gpadav at 2:08PM on 12/23/07
crisp for me
cmvitello at 2:11PM on 12/23/07
Crispy everytime.
joanne117 at 2:13PM on 12/23/07
tasty crispy
pemabuk at 2:14PM on 12/23/07
Oh baby, a topic right up my alley...baaaaacon. If I'm partaking "on the side" or in a sandwich, it must be semi-crispy. Meaning no flop, but a bit of a soft chew in the meaty part. The fat can't flop...ever. A slow gas burn in cast iron does this perfectly.
If it's wrapped around a succulent scallop, a little more underdone is okay, simply because I don't want to overcook the scallop.
Man oh man, make me a grilled cheese and bacon sammie and I'm putty in your hands...
SharonAnne at 2:15PM on 12/23/07
Just barely crisp, never burnt.
lillylilly at 2:16PM on 12/23/07

Pliant and flexible, with a tiny bit of crispness. I like to taste the juices and have chewy meat.
poulet at 2:47PM on 12/23/07
Extra thick cut applewood smoked bacon that is just barely crisp. Nothing better as a way to serve bacon than a BLT when the summer tomatoes are at their best and you can get nice baby field greens.... I like to add a slice of sharp cheddar as well sometimes.
celticbikerbabe at 2:48PM on 12/23/07

Pliant is the best. A little flop to it makes it tasty. I do have to keep in mind that's not the case for everyone when I am cooking it though. It can be quite a debate.

Bacon.....porcine ambrosia....I can almost smell it sizzling. All this talk of cast-iron skillets and doneness degrees has made me ravenous! I prefer my bacon pliant (a much better word than limp!), but with the fatty parts cooked through. Knawing on a blob of lard is not palatable. Slow heat and patience can easily achieve a perfectly seared portion of this tasty treat!

I can certainly appreciate the charms of crisp bacon but I generally prefer it thicker and more pliant. I do not like it underdone, however.

tisaynababae at 10:45AM on 12/24/07
I like it iron skillet fried almost crispy. Thick sliced is preferred. And it must be hot! Of course, the drippings must be saved, properly separated and reused as a seasoning oil.
daw212 at 10:45AM on 12/24/07

I like a thick slice bacon, that way you get crispy edges and pliant "bubbles".... the best of both worlds!!
