Can You Deep Fry Bacon?

[flobadob]

I've got a couple of slices of streaky bacon in the fridge and I'm just wondering is it okay to deep fry it as a cooking method.

It seems you can

That's how they do it in our chippy.

Yes, never done it but I know a lot of cafés who do. Dead quick and no change to taste. Same with sausage.

How is it Dead quick?

It will spit like hell if it's full of water.

The British Medical Journal has a recipe in its latest edition.

Grill them - quick and healthy.

Isn't there enough fat in bacon already, I never even add fat to fry, just a good non-stick pan!

We had American guests recently who informed my wife that they deep fry their Thanksgiving turkey. Lol, you've gotta hand it to the yanks.

How big a chip pan would you need to deep fry a turkey?

[BlackadderV]

Well KFC was always deep fried as far as I am aware, so not much different from a turkey, apart from size.

You can deep fry most food. Pies, chocolate bars (in batter), steaks, bread, etc. I'd never deep fry bacon though - it would kill it

[Prudie]

Neither would I, far easier to just buy a bag of pork scratchings ;-)

Don't see why not. Toying with the idea of deep-fried Mars bars wrapped in bacon! Do you think it would go down well as street-food?

If you can deep fry Mars Bars, then yes, why not Flobby??
