How do you cook your bacon or sausage?

[slowmotion]

For bacon, I put three sheets of kitchen roll on a microwave tray, put the bacon on that, and then put two more sheets on top. Then cook on high for a minute and repeat until cooked. The paper soaks up all the water that's been added to the bacon leaving it slightly crisp.

I don't do sausages very often.

This morning, it was smoked bacon on the plancha grill out in the garden…….if its indoors then its pan fried same as the sausages……..

Fry both.
Stab and straighten the sausages, turn frequently, watch them like a hawk so they don’t burn and they cook evenly.
Bacon in when sausages are cooking well. Mop up any excess water with kitchen towel.
Such a palava I don’t cook them very often!

Supposedly Steve Marriot lived in a predominately Jewish area in East London, he used to grill Bacon every morning with the windows open

Oh, I can well believe that!

I brown the sausages in the pan whilst the oven is heating up, then they go in the oven. Always fry bacon. Sausage casserole in the slow cooker is also nice. But I rarely have sausages unless on a BBQ

And the problem with frying bacon is you end up with floppy, chewy rind, so I favour the grill for that.
The oven might work though...

It does
I will not (can not) eat floppy fat or rind.

Frying bacon/sausage tends to make a mess of the ceiling and walls

I note that many fry, split or pierce sausages. I too did and found later from a chef that unlike meat such as steak, sausages are in casings and frying does not help the taste. It should not be pieced or split as the juices run out. Slow heat on the oven makes the difference. Give it a go, if time is not an issue.

Got one...... and it works when I use it. However, sadly, eggs need ti be basted.
Plus the fact I am male so often forget to use it.

I've never basted an egg in my life, but then I eat over easy so the egg snot gets cooked fine. I use a baby single egg pan

The only other person I have heard use that phrase was MrsDs cousin who said she can't stand snotty eggs.

If you buy dry cured bacon you wont get the water issue
