I learned to love it not crisp when I was a breakfast cook. Crisp bacon is for crumbling on salads or adding to deviled eggs or putting into a quiche or tart. Pliant bacon is for relishing all of its porkiness when there is something to chew to go with that 3 minute soft boiled egg in the morning and the cheese grits on the side. Burnt bacon is a perfect waste of perfect food.
Dark, darker and darkest.
Crispy, firm but not burnt.

Thanks to everyone who commented, and tune in again later today and throughout New Year's Day for a contest each day.
Crispy, but not so much that it breaks apart when you bite it and before it all gets in your mouth. Also, bacon wrapped around ANYTHING is the best!
I like it pliant because most people get it too crispy.
Crispy, but not black. Makes the house smell delicious.
um, any way you cook it! No seriously, prefer chewy. :) LOVE BACON!
Crisp, but not burnt-crisp.
Oh my goodness….Lovin’ this! Definitely pliant. Thanks for offering the contest!
