Does anyone know why this happens? Is it the type of bacon, cooking style, because it was frozen?

I'd eat that shit. Now in the future turn oven to 325 and preheat, cover a large baking sheet/cookie sheet end to end with all the bacon you can get on it. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes till your sure it's done. You now have about 3/4's of a pound of perfectly evenly cooked bacon. No flipping no grease burns and done with minimal effort.

Could be the ends dried out sometime before cooking

I like to do it on the grill near black. Yes it might not cook evenly if frozen. Just place the package in a dish of warm water first to defrost. But not going to hurt you if a little raw. We cook pork chops medium rare (lightly pink) and it's yummy. Sear it. Sear all meats.

Considering bacon is already smoked, and can be consumed "raw", I mean... sure? Okay?

I was going to ask how you did that? Frozen you say? You mean previously frozen?

[–] [deleted] • 0 pt

Yeah, I bought it, then froze it, then thawed it in the refrigerator.

I do that as well. I thaw mine overnight in the refrigerator. I assume you’re cooking it in some kind of skillet. Stovetop...induction? Maybe your center rings aren’t heating up? I’ve tried cooking bacon in lots of different ways. The best way for me to produce finished crispy bacon I desire is my 10 inch cast iron skillet, half a pound at a time, low heat, turned once. Best wishes on the bacon trail.

My favorite way is to deep fry them, but I have been baking them on a rack lately. I have used the same rack/technique successfully plenty of times, but every now and then shit like this happens.

You don't have to wait until the 8th. I made another batch the day after I made these and they turned out better.

Jesus christ, what the fuck is this.

"Because it was frozen" are you fucking kidding me? you're trying to cook frozen meat?

Holy fuck I meet new level of retard every fucking day.

It was thawed when I cooked it. Also, someone else posted that you can eat raw bacon because it was smoked. I am not testing that theory.

Yes please do not test that theory. Pork is known for trichinosis, it doesn't matter what anyone says, don't take the risk. Sausage is the worst, the surface of the meat is ground into the rest, if you don't cook sausage thoroughly, you will absolutely run into trouble. Red meat is the only safe meat blue rare in my opinion.

Lower your heat a little bit for the bacon, maybe half or 40% power. The snap of the fat will tell you if it's too hot, I'm sure you'll experiment.

Take care.
