Chances are you have probably heard of the parlour game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon or Bacon’s Law where players challenge each other to choose an actor and then connect them to another actor via a film to the shortest path that ultimately leads to the actor Kevin Bacon.

It rests on the assumption that anyone involved in the Hollywood film industry can be linked through their film roles to Bacon within six steps.

The game’s name is a reference to “six degrees of separation“, a concept which theorizes that any two people on Earth are six or fewer acquaintance links apart.

And just like the real bacon, there are 6 separate ways you can get to the ultimate tasting bacon!

Here are some of the most popular ways to cook bacon and the pros and cons of each method:

Cast-Iron Skillet

Pros: Quick method. Helps keep your cast-iron pan seasoned

Cons: Bacon partially sticks to the pan and breaks. Cooks only 5-6 strips at a time. Splatters grease on the stovetop. Requires near-constant turning to cook evenly.

Non-stick Skillet

Pros: Faster than oven method. Easy cleanup once grease is drained.

Cons: Bacon partially sticks to the pan and breaks. Cooks only 5-6 strips at a time. Splatters grease on the stovetop. Requires near-constant turning to cook evenly.

Sheet Pan

Pros: Cooks nearly a pound of bacon at once. Does not require turning while cooking. Bakes all strips of bacon evenly.

Cons: Bacon partially sticks to pan and breaks. Dirties pan significantly.

Baking Rack over a Sheet Pan

Pros: Cooks nearly a pound of bacon at once. Does not require turning while cooking. Bakes all strips of bacon evenly. Bacon doesn’t stick to rack.

Con: Pan gets messy from drippings

Microwave

Pros: Can make a few bacon strips at a time. Bakes all strips evenly. Easy and fast. Minimal cleanup (paper towels absorb grease).

Con: Bacon is more chewy than crisp.

Note: The bacon should look undercooked as it comes out of the microwave—there will be carry-over cooking.

Air Fry

Pros: Cooking bacon in the air fryer results in crispy evenly cooked slices. Allows some of the fat to drain off of the meat.

Con: The bacon tends to curl up in the air fryer so this bacon is best for bacon crumbles rather than flat bacon.
