Notes

This is a basic technique, not a recipe.  I like this whence I can get a side portion of bacon and cut my slices to my thickness (ala Steakhouse Bacon)
One can kick things up a notch and season the bacon:
Dark Brown sugar for a sweeter bacon
Chili flake for a spicy kick
Black Pepper for that unique pepper taste
Liquid Smoke for EXTRA SMOKEY flavor.
