That about covers it. If it's crunchy, it's burned, and burned food is not Good Eats. I'm also in for Wright thick-cut bacon, and it saddens me that none of my co-workers have kids in FFA, so I've not had Blue & Gold products in years.
BAKED is sooooooooooooooooooo good.
Put it on a drip rack with a catch pan to save all that wonderful drippings. Cover with a thick layer of brown sugar and bake at 250' until just crispy. A true slice of heaven. Works best with thick cut bacon, but ANY bacon is gooooooooooooooooood.
