Bacone

Page history last edited by henrique1122 3 hrs ago

I was asked by several people at Bacon Camp to add instructions for making a Bacone to the Bacon Camp wiki. When I'm not crafting Bacon delights, I work at Wikia, so I'm all about the free content movement. Here's your Bacone guide! You'll need the following:

 

  • A strainer and a stapler to make the forms
  • A fryer to fry the bacon
  • Thick bacon - thin bacon disintegrates
  • Aluminum foil - to keep the bacon from sticking
  • Leatherman - because all cool projects involve a Leatherman

 

Here's what you'll need to really do the bacone justice:

  • Eggs
  • Hash browns
  • Cheese
  • Country Gravy
  • Biscuits

 

Shape the Bacone

I created the bacone forms by cutting up a strainer and rolling them into cone shapes and stapling them. One cone is smaller than the other. The bacon is sandwiched between the two forms when frying.

 

 

Protect the Bacone

Through trial and error, I learned that when the bacon is fried, it really, really likes to stick to the inner form. Once it's stuck, there's no getting it off. The only way to ensure that the bacone is able to be removed from the inner form is to wrap it with aluminum foil.

 

 

 

Get the Right Bacon

I'm no expert, and there may be better bacon to use, but I found that the thicker the bacon, the better the bacone. Thin bacon seemed to really shrivel up in the fryer, which led to a paper-thin shot glass-sized cone. Just use the thick stuff.

 

 

Wrap the Bacone

I start at the bottom and wrap upward. The first strip goes around the mouth of the cone and doesn't have much overlap with itself.

 

 

Wrap a second strip of bacon on the form, overlapping with the first.

 

 

Keep wrapping. When you're done, the Bacone should look something like this. As you get toward the top, the successive rings of bacon will start to hang away from the form. When this happens, I twist the bacon 180 degrees and make a fold in the bacon. Once you try it, you'll see what I mean. Just ensure that you keep the bacon as tight against the form as possible.

 

 

When you've completed wrapping the Bacone, put the outer form on top of the Bacone to prepare for frying.

 

 

Fry the Bacone

I put my fryer on the maximum setting (400 degrees) and fry the Bacone for a few minutes. Bacon doesn't seem to spatter that much in the fryer, so you can open the lid and roll the Bacone around with a knife to ensure even cooking. Most of the time, though, I have the lid closed.

 

 

When the frying is done, pull it out of the fryer with a knife or whatever you have handy. The bacon will have shrunk a bit.

 

 

Liberate the Bacone

Pull the outer form off of the Bacone and allow to dry for a bit.

 

 

Peel the foil back from the inner form and use a Leatherman to extract the form. This might be tough and you might burn your fingers, but you're only moments away from enjoying a Bacone. Don't forget that!

 

 

Twist the aluminum into a tight cone of its own and pull it to unlodge it from the Bacone.

 

 

This is what a Bacone looks like when it is finished.

 

 

Preparing and Serving the Bacone

Fill the Bacone with a mixture of scrambled eggs, hash browns, and cheese (I use colby jack). Fill the Bacone until almost full and add a layer of country gravy. Atop the gravy, add a biscuit. Just a little warning, and I'm serious here, the first bite is pure heaven.

 

Enjoy the Bacone

From Melissa and Christian, enjoy!

The wife and I could think of few things finer than the above mentioned bacone. We decided to finally purchase the fryer that we've been thinking about for a while. I made the cones out of an extra splatter-screen that came in an $8 multipack. The bacon was some random cheap thick-cut hickory-smoked brand available at Wal-Mart. At first the cone seemed to want to come undone as soon as it hit the oil. some practice seemed to help. Also, I found that toothpicks shoved through both layers of cone, bacon and foil helped.

Overall, I'd call this a bacon concept win.

This has been one of those <a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: none;" href=";http://www.bestessays.com/">essays</a> where I just had to do what is instructed immediately. I guess its in the manner of writing that makes the process really exciting to try for yourself. although I had a hard time in taking the bacon out of the mould. It cracks and then falls apart.
