If you want really good bacon, my opinion is the best way to cook it is this:

Take a cast iron pan (a griddle is preferable), and use low heat. It'll probably take up to half an hour to cook the bacon, so make sure you have a computer (or book, or knitting, or whatever you do to pass the time) available.

Move the bacon around so the strips all cook relatively evenly. Drain off the grease (I use a spoon) when necessary. And let it continue to cook until it's as crisp as you like.

One suggestion for those who like their bacon floppy: try at least one of the crispy strips. You may (or may not) find that it has the taste/texture you want.

Do this just right, and you'll understand why doughnuts are said to have a creamy texture when eaten just out of the fryer.

This cooking technique brought to you by a bit of disappointment over Trader Joe's applewood smoked bacon, which I decided to rush, just a bit. It *really* needs slow cooking, and burns very easily.
