That tells me everything I have learned or done cooking bacon was wrong.
I will try many of the methods there. They all look better than my cooking.
I shared with my wife. She cooks better bacon than I.
She was concerned about the cold cast iron for starting but will consider it. She says all cast iron needs pre-heated. She cooks with nothing but cast iron. All in this house was cast before Pearl Harbor. It makes a difference.
