Call me nuts but I like the 4-5.5 range. I'm not a fan of chewy fat...

[-] socsa@piefed.social 22 points 1 week ago

This is the objectively correct answer.

[-] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 week ago

My ex liked the 6-7 range while I like the 2-4 range. We were thus incompatible and broke up after the umpteenth time they made it “for me” the exact same way they did for themselves.

(The last bit is a joke, the first bit isn’t)

[-] Hazel@piefed.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 week ago

If your ex liked 6-7 they were clearly too young anyways.

It seems it self-heals a bit after #9 and reassembles back, so I would like to try that #10

That's what happens when you take it out at 8 or 9 when some areas of the meat have not been fully converted to carbon. Around stage 10, this conversion adds some support but then the bacon becomes much more brittle from 14 to 18.

I only eat swine graced with the god particle

Are you a vegan or do you eat pigs alive?

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Which do you think is worse?

4-6, depending on the type of bacon.

[-] eightys3v3n@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

I want it to stand horizontal if I hold the end :p

[-] db2@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

That's what she said

[-] socsa@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago

It should snap like a potato chip, not a French fry.

2-5 are acceptable. Softer bacon is better than crispier bacon and I don’t care who I offend

[-] socsa@piefed.social 13 points 1 week ago

It depends on the dish. Like Chinese pork belly should melt in your mouth, not break your teeth. But on a bacon egg and cheese sandwich, the bacon needs to bring the texture.

[-] dwemthy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

3 is the breakfast buffet pile of hours old leathery bacon all stuck together with lukewarm grease. This is not an acceptable bacon. 2 for sandwiches, 4 or 5 for plain eatin

Edit:

I've been vegan for 10 years and I still miss 2-3 style bacon. Vegan bacon does a good job if you like Canadian bacon and/or 4-6 on this chart, but nobody has made fatty vegan bacon that's good around 2-3 cookedness

45

I prefer my bacon in a gluon soup form..

[-] Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

10 through 18 look like the bristolstool chart

[-] lauha@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I usually take a bit from a live pig, so -3

[-] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago

Anakin, no!

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago

Does the bacon reassemble itself between 9 and 10?

[-] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 8 points 1 week ago

Not necessarily accurate, but here's my own interpretation:

1. Canada
2/3. Britain
4. USA
5. Ireland
6. Deep South US
7. A college dorm

...

18. Portugal

Some places will slap like a 1.4 in a bun and act like their job here is done, and you’re like wha

[-] myotheraccount@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

18 looks good, to fire up a barbeque for grilling my veggies

[-] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

3-5. Thats the sweet spot.

[-] KC_Royalz@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Is there a 4.5 option? Although 6-7 are the tastiest. I love charred food and burnt pizza

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago

Myself, 3-5.

8 or above is charcoal, not bacon.

18 , its basically carbon now so its halal

[-] Gork@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 week ago

I can never decide between 15 or 16

[-] wabafee@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I like mine fossilized.

[-] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

For real, my wife is around 2. I like mine about 4 or 5. I want a good crunch, but she likes her bacon flaccid.

She also takes her steak at a medium. I want my steak all but still mooing.

5 is where it's at boys. Max crisp, no burning.

[-] its_kim_love 4 points 1 week ago

There's a huge gap between 5 and 6. That's where I live.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

19 is too crunchy.

[-] webp@mander.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

I'll have a uuuuuuhhhh #14 with side of ketchup

[-] twinnie@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago

Most countries don’t even call that bacon; that’s streaky bacon. Proper bacon is what Canadians have.

But I’d go for 4.

1 is literally just raw. I like both crispy bacon and chewier bacon, but only if the fat is completely rendered.

I'd say either 4 or 17 deoending on how much carbon I'm looking for.
