Ingredients

3 rashers thick-sliced bacon, cut in half

Directions

Heat a waffle iron to medium heat. Lay the bacon on the waffle iron and close lid. Cook for 2 1/2 minutes. Move the bacon pieces so the unseared areas now come in direct contact with the metal. Close the lid and cook for another 2 1/2 to 5 minutes, depending on desired crispness. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Reserve rendered fat for another use. Depending on bacon, you will have 1 to 3 tablespoons of fat.

Man Bacon
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

This was good, but try a George Foreman. Cooks in 10 minutes or less & cleanup is easy.

Cleanup is tough!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I was coming to post the same thing as Kenny: the bacon came out great using the waffle iron, but the cleanup is really... difficult! We're going to try our Foreman grill next time instead (like Julia). I think I like these results a lot better than Alton's oven method for bacon.Read more

Much easier way to cook bacon!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used my pannini press instead of a waffle iron, and it turned out great! The pannini press has a grease catcher, and I was... able to cook Alton's delicious french toast recipe while the bacon cooked in the press. Read more

Tasty but clean up is a mess
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I like the way the bacon turned out, it was great. However, cleaning the waffle iron after cooking is a pain. The little... bacon bits and grease are stuck in all the little crevices and it took 10-15 mins just to clean it up.Read more
