Cast iron skillet, medium-low heat. I see the benefits of oven cooking, but I'd rather deal with the skillet than the pan/rack/etc.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My father taught me that you should be able to cook bacon shirtless -- if there are spatters, your heat is too high.

Sometimes I do skillet, sometimes I do oven (toaster oven works well for one serving). I am mercurial.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have been known to make it in the microwave. Put it on a plate, with a couple of sheets of paper towels on top and underneath and cook it of about 1/2 to 2 minutes. Not quite as crispy as in a pan, but not as greasy either. It will do in a pinch.

I usually default to microwave honestly; bacon is awesome enough to stand up to it.

Hey, have we had this totally-banal-yet-potentially-polarizing conversation yet? How do you cook bacon?
In the oven. Not only does it come out deliciously chewy, but it frees up the top of the stove for other breakfast items. Also, can be made in the toaster oven. I pour off some of the grease in the middle of cooking so that it stays chewy, if you like it crispier, leave it alone.

In the oven. Actually I start under the broiler and finish in the oven.
Also, I just line the pan with foil, then let the grease solidify and throw the foil-with-grease out. Simplifies cleaning.

If you live in DC (or the capital of your country) and can make THIS happen:
"Eight women each holding up one of the letters; G, I, S, H, W, H, E, S, to spell GISHWHES in front of a monument in the capital city of their country"
before 11/29, and take a photo of it, please contact me.
Um. Thanks.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I cook bacon in the oven in a foil-lined pan. No mess, no bacon-scented house, no smoke alarms.
