Hey AngAK, I just found our BLT ObiWan: Justin Chapple makes a bacon grid

[marilynfl]

with 3 slices (cut in half and weaved) then baked flat in the oven.

100% bacon coverage!

Preheat oven to 400. Weave 6 half-slices into a square. Place lattices on lined cookie tray and top with a flipped over cooling rack to keep them flat.

Bake 15-20 minutes.

I tried doing this years ago and here is what happened

Crispy bacon crumbled. It ended up being worse than just putting strips across the sandwich.

Really thick bacon cooked not crisp might work. I never tried it again as little shards of bacon went everywhere when I bit into the sandwich.

I make bacon in my panini maker, it's pretty much the only thing I make in there, but it's worth it.

So perfect!!!

HA! I never tried that! Oven-baked works so perfectly.

Also an oven convert - start the pan of bacon in a cold oven, heat to 400 - perfect every time!

brilliant! and I believe bacon $$ is coming down.

I always do it in the oven but tried my panini maker today and it works lovely!

Can only do a few pieces at a time though

portion control!

'Portion control' and 'bacon' should NEVER be used in the same sentence smileys/smile.gif
